Joe Biden, the Democratic party’s presumptive 2020 presidential nominee, answered progressive calls to defund and disband law enforcement agencies across the country by pledging an influx of cash to police departments for “community policing” in a new op-ed, published Wednesday.
Although President Donald Trump has worked to connect Biden to activists calling for defunding — an extreme measure even by far-left standards, though one that has gained popularity in the wake of national anti-racism protests — Biden has said, both himself and through spokespeople, that he does not support ending funding to law enforcement or disbanding police organizations.
