In a statement Friday, two days before the start of National Police Week, President Joe Biden expressed gratitude to the country's fallen police officers and stated that his administration would work to support local law enforcement through the aftermath of COVID-19, following in the footsteps of those who came before him.
As promising as the first part of his statement was, the president almost immediately used it to unceremoniously slam law enforcement.
Just after declaring that his administration would work to ensure law enforcement has "The resources and research tools they need to do their jobs successfully," and that it would "Continue to bolster initiatives that protect our law enforcement officers' physical safety," Biden began to pontificate on the "Distrust" toward law enforcement that exists within minority communities - a distrust that he effectively blamed on police.
Biden essentially vilified law enforcement as an institution, blaming that institution - rather than the actions of a handful of individuals - for "The resulting breakdown in trust" between minority communities and law enforcement.
Biden's statement wasn't issued in order to condemn the actions of a few law enforcement officers that have resulted in the deaths of his constituents.
Whereas Biden castigated the police for the "Distrust" they allegedly created, former President Donald Trump commended law enforcement and promoted the "Important work" of police nationwide.
"Trump wrote in his 2020 statement,"We must continue working toward a time when all people respect and understand the important work that law enforcement officers do.
