Biden comes out against defunding police, as movement gains traction

Joe Biden's campaign came out Monday against the growing push to "defund the police," saying instead that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee supports the “urgent need for reform.”

“As his criminal justice proposal made clear months ago, Vice President Biden does not believe that police should be defunded,” Biden campaign Rapid Response Director Andrew Bates said in a statement Monday. “He hears and shares the deep grief and frustration of those calling out for change, and is driven to ensure that justice is done and that we put a stop to this terrible pain.”

Bates added that Biden supports “the urgent need for reform,” which he said includes “funding for public schools, summer programs, and mental health and substance abuse treatment separate from funding for policing — so that officers can focus on the job of policing.”

It’s already being done. Trump has been and will continue to show that Biden is an aged incompetent and the people around him will be running the country. That message will stick and radicals that ‘defund the police’ will be the actual people in charge.

First it’s the police then the military. The military will be the next thing that they want to defund.

His policies are correctly being tied to radical Left thought, it’s smart for his writers to have him agree and support Trump on this.

Of course, the Democrat-run media will give Biden a pass on this, and won't press him because they know it would hurt him with his new base.

And you can be sure that they won't bring up that Biden proposed 'Police Officer's Bill of Rights' two months after Rodney King beating.

In other words, he is a racist.

The first time some weirdo breaks through his Secret Service, he’ll be yelling for them to do any maneuvers to take them down.

Their convention is already set to be virtual due to Covid-19.

That gives them cover to dump Joe and insert whoever they want.
