BLM founder: Biden's "deep cowardice" is thwarting Defund the Police

“Every year, families, community members, organizers have said this must stop and there’s a different way to do this,” Cullors stated. “And yet there has been deep cowardice from officials. The burden is on the officials who create the budgets for the police and other resources, who turn away from the violence and continue it in their departments.”

The activist pointed direct blame at Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

“It’s truly a failure of leadership at the highest level, all the way up to our president,” Cullors continued. “This movement was able to help get Joe Biden into office, and yet in his first State of the Union address, he yelled: ‘Fund the police.'”

[Want to bet that Biden says the same thing in tomorrow’s SOTU? He’ll have to do so, since he’s likely to demand a raft of new gun-control laws and regulations. If you defund the police, who will be around to enforce those laws? — Ed]
