It’s time to stand up for our brave police officers. Joe Biden has failed in his responsibility to lead the country and has neglected to condemn violence against our law enforcement.
Old Joe has been caught using poisonous rhetoric again and this time, it’s gone too far. He recently insinuated that police officers always use deadly force, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Joe Gamaldi, the Fraternal Order of Police National Vice President, called out Biden’s inflammatory remarks and said they “erode the trust that we’re trying to build with our communities.”
It’s not just Biden’s words that are concerning. He’s failed to issue a statement condemning violence against police officers, despite a 59% increase in police murders in April 2022. The man who should be leading the way is not, and that’s a disgrace.
What’s wrong with Joe Biden? It seems like he’s more concerned with appeasing the anti-police crowd than standing up for our law enforcement who risk their lives to keep us safe. He’s called for police retraining and an end to the use of deadly force, but hasn’t taken the time to issue a statement condemning violence against police officers? How is that helpful?
We should all be outraged. These brave men and women deserve better than to be subjected to inflammatory rhetoric and lack of support from the President. Biden needs to take a step back and reconsider his words and actions. He should make a statement condemning the violence against police officers and seek to build bridges, not tear them down.

Leaders lead, and Joe Biden is not leading. He needs to start supporting law enforcement and condemning violence. Anything less is a disservice to the people who risk their lives to keep our communities safe. The time for action is now, and we’re counting on Joe Biden to do the right thing.
