Joe Biden was condemned for issuing a Police Week statement highlighting the ‘deep sense of distrust’ black Americans feel towards cops in the wake of high-profile police custody deaths.
The President of the United States’ statement, issued Saturday, said distrust of the police had been ‘exacerbated’ by high profile police custody deaths.
Biden said: ‘This year, we also recognize that in many of our communities, especially Black and brown communities, there is a deep sense of distrust towards law enforcement; a distrust that has been exacerbated by the recent deaths of several Black and brown people at the hands of law enforcement.
