sad that there is no way to contradict this since any judge will side with the cop and his buddies on the force who backed his story up
and police reform is not even talked about with the candidates anymore plus Biden has completely forgotten his campaign promise of police reform
A) not true.
B) not even remotely relevant
Democrats tried to pass police reform bills in congress multiple times this term and were blocked by Republicans at every turn. Biden did what he was able to do and enacted an executive order that was the most comprehensive police reform action in decades. But there are limits to what he can do. So please fuck off with your attempt to turn this into Biden's fault by telling lies.
the current police problem was in part grown by Biden's efforts during his fifty years as a politician
Partially true but irrelevant. You're shifting the goalposts because your first argument was a total lie. How about you admit it was wrong before you start shifting things to pretend you were "actually" correct because some other only tangentially related information is useful.
Biden is literally begging lawmakers to pass the policing act he put together. He isn't a dictator, it's up to Congress and the Senate to pass these bills
This is not talking about it, huh? Thanks for not even reading the summary in your neverending quest to get Trump elected.
he was talking much harder before when he was on the campaign trail making it out like he was serious about pushing for national reform
