Joe Biden has:

Whatever the Republicans say, this was a decisive victory.
The president of the United States just used tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful protestors just so he could take a photo opp at church.
This man knows nothing of God. Nothing of peace.
He knows nothing and our country will continue to burn because of it.
We need real police department reform. Every police officer involved in a killing must be held accountable, and those found guilty must be punished with the full force of the law. Every killing of a person held in police custody must be investigated by the Department of Justice.
More peaceful protestors and journalists have been jailed in the past week than all the bankers who were jailed for fraud during the financial collapse.
Donald Trump is calling for violence against Black Americans. His advocacy of illegal, state-sponsored killing is horrific. Politicians who refuse to condemn it share responsibility for the consequences.
Today America launched a rocket ship straight out of its own broken heart. Though I love science, and especially the quest for space, I wish I were witnessing the launch of a reparations program, rather than a giant burning tube full of white men.
George Floyd’s murder is not only an outrage. It is the latest manifestation of a system that callously devalues the lives of Black people. Our struggle is and always has been about justice—not justice on paper, but real justice in the real lives of real people.
all this could have been avoided by stronger leadership at the top. failure to deal with an outrageous racist murder inevitably needs to protests & protests to violence.
It’s impossible to understate the importance of this, or what the repercussions will look like. The U.S. is a failed state led by a fascist dictatorship, and is now declaring open season on all those determined to resist their genocidal agenda. Now is the time to choose sides.
