Joe: Violence of any kind is wrong; those who commit it should be caught and punished.

Joe Biden
@JoeBiden
This cold-blooded shooting is unconscionable and the perpetrator must be brought to justice.

Violence of any kind is wrong; those who commit it should be caught and punished.

Jill and I are keeping the deputies and their loved ones in our hearts and praying for a full recovery.

That probably isn't the case with this shooting, but still the caveat should be said even when it involves police being shot.

See my edits in parentheses:


"This cold-blooded shooting is unconscionable and the perpetrator must be brought to justice.

Violence of any kind is wrong (except in cases of self-defense); those who commit (unjustified violence) should be caught and punished.

Jill and I are keeping the deputies and their loved ones in our hearts and praying for a full recovery."

.... the obvious had to be said out loud because there might be a chance Joe Biden might not be aware of it. Punishing unjustifiable violence is something that I'm sure every human being on this planet with a relatively few exceptions agree on......obviously.
