"SNIP.....


Donald Trump and the Republican Party spent years trying to defund federal programs to help local police departments. Joe Biden is requesting an additional $300 million.

.......

Biden said, “The answer is to come together, policing communities, building trust and make us all safe. The answer is not to defund the police, it is to give you the tools, the training, the funding to be partners to be protectors. The community needs you. Know the community. That’s why I called on the Congress to pass a budget later this year that provides cities like New York and others with an additional $300 million for community policing.”

Trump And The GOP Tried To Cut Federal Funding For Local Police Departments

Trump and the Republicans claim to love the police, but Trump’s budgets were always trying to cut funding for programs to help local police. 

The cuts to the police were a feature, not a bug, in the Trump budgets.

1. Trump 'Defunded The Police'.

Biden will Build THAT Back Better too.

2. More police don't mean less crime.

3. Community policing does. In some cities 700 people are responsible

for the major crimes. Take a bite out of that by changing the relationship between the community and police and you cut down crime.

4. to the average US voter (other than the farther left) it does (even if it's perhaps wrong)

Biden is tacking to the centre to try and shore up his cratering with Independents, Asians, and Hispanics (targeting the large amount who are not farther left, as that is where he is getting pasted)
