(58,785 posts)And Biden has always supported the needs of law enforcement.
Like all issues, this one plays out differently in different situations in different eras -- affected above all by the will of the electorate -- but personal decency and principles remain the same. Or don't exist at all.
Also agree with Sunonmars. After a while, well-meaning organizations virtually always degrade to a primary purpose of promoting and preserving themselves above all. Unions historically spectacularly so.
I don't think in this setting it will hurt Biden in the least. 73% of Americans support righteous demonstrations against murder by police in well over 100 cities nationally! These groups are on the wrong side of history. These groups' leaders should be taking a knee, not pandering to the angry, heavily RW reactionaries among them to keep their jobs.
