Despite the social and political division over the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases, recent polls show most Americans want to hold police accountable when they kill unarmed citizens.

When it comes to the behavior of cops, according to a Washington Post poll, Americans hold "an almost-unheard-of amount of consensus."

They want independent prosecutors who are not politically linked to city government and police departments.

"What's a little more surprising, though, is the consensus on another issue related to the Ferguson and Eric Garner cases: independent prosecutors," reports the Post. "The poll shows about the same percentage — 87 percent — support having these outsiders handle cases in which unarmed Americans are killed by police."

Additionally, 86 percent of those polled "support requiring patrol officers in their areas to wear small video cameras while on duty — a finding in line with other polling on this subject."
