to defund and dismantle the city's police department in the wake of Floyd's death, in one of the most prominent reform efforts underway.
But beyond the defunding conversation lies the more difficult task of satiating a groundswell of support for tangible changes to the nation's policing system, and an American public that increasingly believes Floyd's death was not an isolated incident, but part of a systemic failure that African-Americans and other minority communities have borne the brunt of.
Throughout the Democratic primary, Biden faced intense scrutiny for his work on the 1994 Crime Bill, which has been criticized as contributing to mass incarceration in the United States, and had disproportionate impacts on minority communities. Biden's call for policing reform rather than defunding was echoed by fellow Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris , who argued investments in the community could be a better use of resources that are often heavily allocated for policing.
