Biden* appears to bash police officers in a statement during Police Week
Quote:President Joe Biden released a statement during Police Week bringing light to the “deep sense of distrust” towards officers from minority communities and the “trauma” caused by the police.
“Every morning, our Nation’s law enforcement officers pin on a badge and go to work, not knowing what the day will bring, and hoping to come home safely,” said Biden.
“As we recognize Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week, we honor those who lost their lives in the line of duty, and thank them on behalf of this grateful Nation for their service,” said Biden.
After promising to support law enforcement and ” work to ensure they have the resources and research tools they need to do their jobs successfully and the funding necessary to enhance officer safety and wellness, Biden appeared to start bashing police officers.
“This year, we also recognize that in many of our communities, especially Black and brown communities, there is a deep sense of distrust towards law enforcement; a distrust that has been exacerbated by the recent deaths of several Black and brown people at the hands of law enforcement,” said Biden.
“These deaths have resulted in a profound fear, trauma, pain, and exhaustion for many Black and brown Americans, and the resulting breakdown in trust between law enforcement and the communities they have sworn to protect and serve ultimately makes officers’ jobs harder and more dangerous as well,” claimed Biden.
“In order to rebuild that trust, our State, local, and Federal Government and law enforcement agencies must protect constitutional rights, ensure accountability for misconduct, and embrace policing that reflects community values and ensures community safety.” continued Biden. “These approaches benefit those who wear the badge and those who count on their protection.”
“This week we pause to pay respect to our law enforcement officers, particularly those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their communities,” Jason Johnson, president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, said in a statement to Fox News. “It is beyond disappointing to see the president of the United States continue to perpetuate false and hurtful myths about police, rather than uniting as he claimed he would during the campaign. “
“I’m still DISGUSTED that Biden would use his official Police Week statement to suggest that every Cop is a racist.” said Republican Congressman Ronny Jackson. “Democrat hatred for our police is outright REPULSIVE.”

Cant just say nice things and leave it at that.
Always gotta throw in the woke whining to appease the malcontented masses. I'm surprised he didn't throw in a salute to the chinese police.
