Breaking news! As reported in Townhall, Democrat presumptive Presidential nominee Joe Biden says "the police have become the enemy." "During an interview Wednesday with leftist publication This Now, Biden said the police are over militarized, have "become the enemy" and said funding should "absolutely" be reallocated elsewhere. In other words, he's advocating for the defunding of law enforcement as crime across the country continues to skyrocket".
Now right there is President Trumps path to victory, a chance to regain the votes of the suburban women and other independent voters whom the media have said of late that he has lost. I can't imagine that any middle class voter would go for Biden with his now stated desire to defund the police nationwide with crime increasing everywhere. TRUMP 2020!
In case anyone wants to hear the entire interview, for the actual context of what Joe Biden said, with
Ady Barkan, who is living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS):
He does have a point about that. Police departments received a whole lot of military equipment which causes them, at times, to look like they are patrolling the streets of Fallujah instead of U.S. cities, as Radley Balko wrote about in Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America’s Police Forces.
Biden is not at the top of his game, but that campaign ad may be somewhat effective for those who think with emotion rather than logic. When money grows on trees and there are no more criminals in the world, then some of what they said may make sense—in other words never.
Saying that instead of police they should have sent a wellness counselor and a tow truck to handle an intoxicated felon is beyond bizarre.
And this is the man the Lincoln Project wants for prez.
Genius.
Traitorous genius.
Quite noticeable was that the “interviewer” skipped over Hunter entirely to talk about what Joe’s deceased son, Beau, would think about him were he alive.
That was a strange interaction.
Okay, I can somewhat agree that they have been militarized, but defund the police and calling them the enemy is a bit much. He used to be the "law and order" candidate, now he is just another left wing BLM lover nut
job.
So, less weapons?
Some cities are very dangerous.
They need to protect themselves.
They're taking away non-lethal options.
It's almost as if you guys want them to die.....more often than they already are.
The police are the enemy of looters, rioters, criminals and Democrats. The connection is obvious. Criminals want the police to not be there, same as democrats.
