Fox News ^ | July 08 2020 | Morgan Phillips

Joe Biden said in an interview Wednesday that some funding should “absolutely” be redirected from police, amid calls from some in his party to "defund the police" in the wake of the protests across the country.

Biden's campaign has said he does not support defunding the police. But in a Now This interview with activist Ady Barkan, the presumptive Democratic nominee said that police forces don’t need surplus military equipment, saying this is what leads them to “become the enemy” in a community.

“But do we agree that we can redirect some of the [police] funding?” Barkan asked Biden.

This should be used in a campaign ad along with the “police are the enemy” clip and played 10,000x a week in swing states.

Police should stand down for 30 days and let us sort this out.

By all means. But only in RAT controlled cities and states. And give the money to some useless social cause so that the recipients can go buy weed. Good use of a valuable resource. Who needs law enforcement anyway?

Every cop in the nation should make it known...loud and clear...that the only thing he/she will do from now on while on duty is write parking tickets.When that happens watch the reaction in the Georgetown section of DC...the leafy Virginia and Maryland suburbs of DC...Malibu...the Upper West Side of Manhattan...Palo Alto...

Just saw a trump ad where the 911 dispatch line goes UNanswered with the recording saying will get back with you in five days

It ens with fires burning and an evil image of Joe Biden lurking in the background very affective

That's right Joey Fingers. Send the police into the riot wearing shorts and flip-flops; then, the rioters will know these lads are not "the enemy" and greet them with open arms and songs of Kumbaya..

If you go into a war zone to confront people, what do you call those people who want to kill you? Law abiding citizens?

Thanks for nothing, Joey.

I agree. Pull all federal funding for the police and all federal agencies with police power. Now.

This is one thing we can all agree on. The fact that two full time cops, who do nothing except wrote speeding tickets a teach kids to rat on their parents, will lose their jobs, influences my opinion not a bit.

I don’t know about y’all but around hear we have city cops, county sheriffs, StateHP, Park Police, University Police, StateDOT police, State Investigative cops, and then a pile of weapons carrying state agency “inspectors” for State OSHA, Tax, Enviro. I may be missing a few. Oh yeah gun carrying prisons and parole officers and social workers.

Then we can layer on the Federal agencies.

Think we have enough police?

I thought this and Biden saying the police have become the enemy was really big news. How come it is buried even here on FR? Am I missing something? The Trump campaign should be shouting this from the rooftops!

Here’s the deal, local police budget is controlled better than most goverment money, but there is some bloat, however the left just wants to use the police budget to redirect into their pockets, slush funds and other projects for doners like all the money they steal from tax payers. They want to create yet another social program they can rob instead of having the police.
