This is the best take

Biden isn't racist for writing the 90s crime bill

The 90s crime bill saved lives

He is a hypocrite to now claim that police are the problem

Biden is also not a socialist. He's literally a pawn of credit card companies.

Biden is bought and paid for, a career in the Senate that allows him to live in one of the biggest homes in Delaware.
He is a prodigious liar that puts even Hillary to shame.
If elected he might be the dumbest, least capable man to ever hold the position. Most likely the cabal behind him will make him a puppet until the time is right to get rid of him. That will come through a negotiation between them and the Biden Family who will want some kind of assurance of his legacy.

But don't you remember when he had to pin that purple heart on that brave soldier while taking sniper fire in Afghanistan? Even Corn Pop said that he was chain-worthy for that one, but Biden went on to do it anyway, because damn it, he loves his country.

Definitely the least capable, the man hardly can hardly talk.

My dad died from dementia. I know the signs.

Violent crime plummeted in America after tough on crime policies were initiated in the mid 90s

Police misconduct is not a new phenomenon

Rodney King happened before the crime bill so theres no way its the cause of the police brutality problem.

Rodney King was high on PCP, or something similar, and he refused to stay down. Police didn’t have tasers back then either.

I don’t think police performance is nearly as sinister as that. What we are seeing is the result of years of social decline and mistaken training.

Society as a whole is getting less respectful of everybody. This affects policing in that departments recruit from society, and officers face assholes every day. This is further antagonized by prosecutors who immediately drop charges of assaulting a police officer and weapons charges. Frequent fliers with law enforcement have criminal histories which are even close to detailing their true propensity for violence.

On the training front the use of scenario based training inadvertently has officers trying to fit real life into those scenarios. The vast majority of real life encounters for police don’t include the use of force. The vast majority of training scenarios do include the use of force. It took me years in federal law enforcement to experience a scenario that was a consensual conversation that didn’t escalate. I think local law enforcement would be better served with more two person cars and revolving FTO time. I always learned more about the job from watching a talented cop do the real job than from canned training scenarios.

I think it’s important to remember that “Joe Biden” isn’t doing anything, doesn’t want anything and doesn’t have a mind of his own. Every one if policies and stances are really just what his handlers want, Biden is just an old dog on a tight leash

And he whines a lot.

Someone doesn't remember the gangs on every street corner killing people. Not necessarily arguing that the bill was good, but it was addressing an actual serious problem that disappeared.

Oh man, the concept of for-profit prisons is insane. Definitely fuck that shit. I don't actually care about the militarization of the police force on the surface though. Americans have lots of guns and use them, so we have a different problem to solve than other countries who think our police force is nuts. Sort of a continuous escalation problem though. At least we're not Mexico.

But the police are a problem, and he's responsible for it.

Biden is a racist for the same reason the left, in general, are racist. Remember: “If you don’t vote for me, ‘then you ain’t black.’”

Biden is a socialist for the same reason Bernie is a socialist. He isn’t a moderate: he’ll surrender to the far leftists.
