... Former vice president Joe Biden released a paper statement just after midnight eastern on the ongoing unrest and protests currently gripping several major American cities, urging an understanding of the trauma many people of color in America are facing in the wake of George Floyds death, but also speaking out against the needless destruction, that is playing out as a result of the protests.
These last few days have laid bare that we are a nation furious at injustice. Every person of conscience can understand the rawness of the trauma people of color experience in this country, from the daily indignities to the extreme violence, like the horrific killing of George Floyd, Biden wrote.
Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. Its an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not, he added.
The act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest. It should not drive people away from the just cause that protest is meant to advance, Biden wrote.
Biden also acknowledged the widespread pain across the country, but implored the country to use the current anger to compel our nation across this turbulent threshold into the next phase of progress, inclusion, and opportunity for our great democracy.
I know that there are people all across this country who are suffering tonight. Suffering the loss of a loved one to intolerable circumstances, like the Floyd family, or to the virus that is still gripping our nation. Suffering economic hardships, whether due to COVID-19 or entrenched inequalities in our system. And I know that a grief that dark and deep may at times feel too heavy to bear, Biden said.
I know.

Joe Biden is utterly brain dead...
RAt coup part 2. Is China ultimately behind all this?
I wonder what Joe Bye-done would have to say if a “protester” burned down one of his houses?
So is voting. Biden you are done.
================================
Biden gets ready for his next political move.
Biden wrote! I seriously doubt it.
So I guess he had the same enthusiasm and support for what happened in Baltimore a few years back, eh?
OK,so a few buildings and cars have been set alight.
Come on man.
Who is writing these statements for Sleepy Joe?
So if Joe is president is this how he is going to talk?
Biden fills a page with gobble-de-gook. Trump hits the nail on the head with one tiny tweet.
How many here believe Biden really wrote that?
Biden named "The Candidate Most Likely to Unravel."
Oh yeah, a Mexican in a Guy Fawkes mask flashing gang signs is utterly American.
They want to federalize the police and for big tech business to take over and deatroy small businesses. Already big oil does all it can to take over frackers
Well china did say this was good for the USA.
This from a Congressional Fool! He hasn't uttered anything that made sense during his entire 37 yeas of slithering up the aisle and crawling into his seat.
He is a liar, a crook, and a very low form of life.
Joe belongs in the History books in a separate chapter along with Bronco Bama, Jimmy Carter, Clintons, and the rest of those who have never lived up to their oaths of office. They are, in effect, traitors!
