Yeah but Bill Clinton began the huge increase in police. Where that and combination of 9/11 has created this vast paramilitarized police force we are still dealing with today. The current iteration of which is the ICE power grab happening.

I guess not doubling down where there is significant tensions is a slight positive difference.

Don't forget Biden was for the increase in police spending and for making student loan payments harder to discharge through bankruptcy as well as allowing them to be predatory.
