Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Tuesday called on Congress to enact police reforms to address racial inequality and accused President Trump of using the military to crack down on demonstrators protesting the death of George Floyd in effort to appeal to his base of supporters.

“When peaceful protesters dispersed in order for a president..to use tear gas and flash grenades in order to stage a photo op – a photo op – at one of the most historic churches in the country… we can be forgiven for believing that the president is more interested in power than in principle, more interested in serving the passions of his base than the needs of the people in his care,” Biden said. “For that’s what the presidency is - a duty to care about all of us, not just our voters, not just our donors, but all of us.”
Trump ordered military personnel to clear the area around the White House on Monday night so that he could walk across the street to pose for a photo holding a Bible in front of the historic St. John’s church, which was set on fire by vandals over the weekend.

“The president held up the Bible at St. John’s church yesterday,” Biden said on Tuesday. “I just wished he’d open it once in a while instead of brandishing it. If he’d opened it he would have learned something. We’re all called to love one another as we love ourselves. It’s really hard work, but it’s the work of America.”

If you ever notice dems when they are running for office, out comes the flowery speeches that sound more like you are sitting in a college course of philosophy 101. All these altruistic and sanctimonious ideals. Never once are there any tangible (and may I add logical) ideas to correct a problem.
It’s “crazy Joe shoot’em in the leg” Biden.
Time to tighten up on police unions who won’t allow the bullies to be fired.
Gee Joe the Democrats have been in charge of the Twin Cities for decades and there have been many instances of abuse by police officers going back years and no meaningful reforms were ever implemented despite empty promises like yours.
