    Biden has definitely done better than Trump in terms of racist law enforcement bullshit… but it’d also be appreciated if he did even better.

      I hate that I have to vote for this sack of shit.

      It’s literally no democracy vs. negative democracy.

        This really represents how disenfranchised I feel these days, always having to spend my time voting for the lesser evil instead of someone who actually represents my interests.

          Totally unlike Biden eulogizing white supremacists, calling them good friends. Unlike Biden’s crime bill that defended white supremacy by targeting black men. Capitalism itself is born and upheld by white supremacy, which Biden and Co defend. The only difference is trump is a blatant racist, democrats are covert in their white supremacy.

    The guy injecting billions to hire more cops while funding nearly 100 cop cities around the country is in no position to talk about other presidents. Marginalized communities are still feeling the impact of his crime bill.

    The public demanded accountability and retraining for police officers and Biden’s solution has been to increase their funding. Increase the numbers of police officers on the streets and do absolutely nothing that was demanded of him from the public. In the meantime, deaths occurred at the hands of police have been increasing every year since George Floyd

          If you prefer your answer without disinformation:

          Cop City is the name of The Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. The center is planned to be used as a training campus for police and fire services and was expected to open at the end of 2023. Planned facilities include classrooms, a burn building, a mock city (including apartments, a bar/nightclub, and a school), and a shooting range.

          None of Biden’s $334M funding is going to Cop City.

            How incredibly ill informed to assume Atlanta is the only one. There are nearly 100 going up around the country. All being trained by the IDF.

              Do you have a source so I can read more about it? I’m not finding anything in my searches.

              Another commenter pointed out the one going up in PA, and I read an article on it. It’s just as concerning as the one in Atlanta, but there was no mention of the IDF in either facility.

    Says the guy who was against the civil rights movement because he didn’t want his “grandchildren living in a racial jungle.” Oops, sorry, I forgot I’m not allowed to use Biden’s past to point out his hypocrisy. I’m sure he has totally learned to be more tolerant, like every other old “former” intolerant white people /s.

      No, you can say it. He was wrong to say it in 1977, and it would be wrong if he still felt that way today, 47 years later. Thankfully, he’s changed over time, as people tend to do.
