President Joe Biden appears to have come down firm on the side of working with law enforcement, rather than against it.
between supporting a newly invigorated abolitionist movement within the Democratic Party and working with the police unions he had worked with for decades.
“Six NYPD officers have been victims of gun violence just so far this year,” Biden said, flanked by Mayor Eric Adams, a former NYPD police officer and the city’s second Black mayor in history. “It’s enough—enough is enough, because we know we can do things about this.” “Mister President, Eric Adams is reporting for duty and ready to serve,” Adams said at Thursday’s event, during which he called the issue of rising gun violence “pervasive” in America’s cities.
But Stanley Fritz, political and campaigns director for Citizens Action New York, told The Daily Beast he was disappointed to see Biden join Adams on Thursday. Fritz said fears the return of stop-and-frisk in New York and worries the resurrected plain-clothes unit will “harass black and brown people,” among other concerns.
“We reject the notion that we’re moving into any political direction. The president has a decades-long record of… being an advocate for fighting crime and supporting local cops programs with necessary and appropriate resources and funding,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One ahead of the president’s remarks.
