Police groups break with Biden

...

“Clearly, he’s made a lot of changes the way candidates do during the primary process, but he kept moving left and fell off the deep end,” said Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, the umbrella organization for Police Benevolent Association chapters.

 

“For Joe Biden, police are shaking their heads because he used to be a stand-up guy who backed law enforcement,” Johnson said. “But it seems in his old age, for whatever reason, he’s writing a sad final chapter when it comes to supporting law enforcement.”

...

 

“Also, as time has gone by, the law-enforcement community — especially the rank and file — has become far more conservative. Today, the FOP and other labor groups are far-less open to addressing gun-control issues, things that traditionally they supported and that Biden worked very closely and successfully with them on.”

 

For instance, Pasco said, law enforcement is less likely to be engaged in supporting gun control, which was once more popular with police. An assault-weapons ban was included in the ’94 crime bill along with other legislation that gave the federal government more power to investigate a “pattern or practice” of local law enforcement abuses.

 

But the 1994 crime bill also serves as the poster child for the mass-incarceration movement that swept states, and Biden has struggled to win support with progressives and young voters of color as a result. Many want to see more contrition from him over the bill’s role in popularizing mass incarceration, an issue that cropped up again in an interview two weeks ago with a black radio show host, leading Biden to say “you ain’t black” for supporting Trump. Biden later apologized.

The support for Joe Biden is driven by only one thing, and it has nothing to do with voters thinking that Biden would be a good President. It is totally a reflection of the Left's hatred, pure hatred for Donald Trump. They hate Trump not only because he opposes their anti-American agenda, but because he committed the unimaginable crime to defeating their heroine, Hilary Clinton that the entire Left establishment and media industry had absolutely no doubt would win the 2016 election. I have little doubt that there are some moderately intelligent Democrat voters that believe that a Biden win would result in a stock market collapse, likely a severe economic downturn in the economy, more troubles in foreign affairs, more race problems, etc, etc. and yet will still want Biden to win since nothing really matters other than beating Trump.

Joes trying to win them back by appointing former police chief Val Deming as a VP. Her career highlights were being virulently antigun, an MDA sycophant, stepping down and running for office after her department was sued for breaking an 84 year olds neck, and losing a gun in an unlocked car.

Demings was censured after leaving her service-issued firearm unsecured in her car allowing it to be stolen by a criminal. Not exactly, gun control now is it.
