Policing and Priorities

A coalition of liberal groups urges Biden to rethink his approach to community policing, emphasizing that over-policed communities seek a fundamental shift in local and state spending priorities rather than just funding for policing. While Biden has made strides in acknowledging the need for reform, the conversation around defunding the police remains contentious. Activists are left wondering how far Biden can realistically go before the election while still staying true to his political identity.
