The thing is, Biden has condemned the violence and has repeatedly denied he would ever be in favor of defunding police. You are attributing positions to him that he does not have in order to further the orangeman needs 4 more years to fix his mess agenda.

Yeah, you're going to have to do better than that. Your hero Biden had a 4 day national convention and nobody said boo about the riots and destruction that his supporters were busy engaging in.

So his "condemnation" in which he doesn't even bother to address his Democrat colleagues who are enabling it is way too little and way too late.

Maybe for you. I would never vote for Biden if he came out defending the BLM/antifa riots. Show me that he has and I'll vote for Trump.

He defended them with his silence. He's still defending them by failing to ask his fellow Democrats to put a stop to it.

Who is going to keep all the unarmed liberals that hate guns safe, when the patriot militia start policing the streets?

Interesting that not once have the R's pointed out the chief is Black. Mark Simmons - black. Fabian Rivera - Latinx. Henry Favor - Black. Elena Correia - female. More than half the named leadership, non-white males.

You people are failing at identity politics.

3) Demilitarize the police. Stop any program giving them leftover Army goodies. American citizens need to stop being treated like a hostile, foreign force. It tends to p*ss them the f*ck off.

4) Provide more healthcare workers during calls. Police are not equipped to handle mentally ill people, as seen from the multitude of people they've killed.

5) Update police education and training. No more blood chokes. No more repeatedly punching someone in the head. Act like a human being, even if the person you're trying to subdue isn't. The U.S. needs to join first-world nations on that front.

6) Increase community policing. I'll find the article, but there was a police force in the northeast that started doing this more and the results were amazingly positive. Change is slow, painful, and necessary.

7) Task the F.B.I. and D.H.S. with coming up with solutions to combat the increase in white supremacist propaganda and the ties that police forces have with white supremacist groups. Having white supremacists infiltrate your organization is a fantastic way to completely discredit it in the eyes of your community.

8) Start the long, painful road of rebuilding systems that have inherent racial bias built in.
all contradictory. Your list requires increased police funding.


BTW, where have any police harmed the public with 'leftover Army goodies?" Oh yeah, Biden said if the police drive a Humvee they become the enemy of the people.

It is funny to watch the Republican party transform overnight to become the true "working mans party"
and the Democrats, the party of the rich & protected, as they have always been.
