How to reshape the nation's police forces has become a major campaign issue. President Trump hopes to portray Joe Biden as extreme.

“He listened, heard their pain and shared in their woe,” Benjamin Crump, the family’s lawyer said in a statement on Twitter. “That compassion meant the world to this grieving family.”For the African American and liberal white voters on whom Democrats depend, Floyd’s killing has pushed far-reaching change in the nation’s police high on the national agenda.

On Monday, Biden and fellow Democrats found themselves carefully navigating around calls by activists to “defund” and “disband” police departments, which some Democrats worry could give Trump a fresh opening to drive a wedge between them and voters. Although voters believe police departments need reform, when asked if they support defunding departments, the answer is a resounding “no.” The Yahoo News/YouGov poll for example, found that only 16% of voters wanted to cut funding for police departments.“There won’t be defunding,” Trump said during his Monday event at the White House, at which he signaled openness to incremental reforms on standards for training and use of force. “There won’t be dismantling of our police.

Aligning Biden with “radicals,” the person said, could enable the campaign to regain lost ground with white voters.

When is the PresidentialDebate?

Let’s also compare other records: Biden wrote the 1994 Crime Bill and Trump reformed the criminal injustice

You will not stop before destroying America huh LA Times?

One visit the family of a thief, counterfeit money and porn seller.... the other families that had been helping for years... priorities

Pls dont neglect the HK youngsters born after 1997 who have become enemies & preys of barbaric China Criminal Party & HK commie police dogs. The 10,000 arrestees &12,000 killed or disappeared mainly belong to this age group. CCP is determined to do blood cleansing in HK. Save HK!

The biggest thing in the world is protest right now 2 weeks ago it was lock-down and 2 weeks before that it was pandemic. A month before that was the virus explosion. What do all these things create a perfect storm for some big event. What is it? Anarchy and rioters to come out.

Sorry this worshop of gf is weird.

LAT be like

If you think gun sales and ammo sales are skyrocketing now wait until all four of those cops walk what you saw last week are just the coming attractions. I saw no less than 80 people lined up at my local gun shop on saturday at 9 oclock in the morning. EIGHTY

Both leaders are taking advantage of this situation to advance their efforts. Both are comprised. Biden for telling black people they ain't black. And Trump, for being completely obvious to reality outside his golden airbrushed eyebrows.

Libs be like

Could this be the single most idiotic headline ever written? Police need to be reformed and Biden was lost. Let’s deal in truth.

They are both doing something positive! Must be a slow news night.

‘As a man sows, so shall he reap.’

The unlawful and disorder bafoon. realDonaldTrump

I doubt his family would want to meet with Trump anyway, after his call to George Floyd's brother where Trump talked over him and wouldn't let him get in a word. As reported by the brother, Biden called and actually listened and was comforting.

Why frame it as “opposing”? Quit stirring sh*t

good vs evil blm

One is incapable of empathy and compassion, one embodies empathy and compassion.

hecker_sean If you don't think there are 2 sides to this, you're not paying attention.

Good vs. evil. realDonaldTrump aka Donald Bunker will be on the wrong side of history.

realDonaldTrump called the family the next day.

Its not either or situation.
