Joe Biden & Kamala Harris:  Issues, Values

Will a Democratic Administration really  abolish the police and undermine law and order? 

​

Nothing in either their recent statements nor in their political backgrounds indicates they would. (See their statements below.)  

​

When thinking about the recent protests, it's important to be distinguish the different actors:

Racism and Protests, Riots and Vandalism

It's important to distinguish between the actions of different actors in this horrible drama:​

• Protestors (nonviolent)

• Rioters (violent)

• Looters

​

At the same time, it is hard for us to understand how any American today can ignore the impact of centuries of slavery and discrimination against Black people in the U.S. -- and the need for police and criminal justice reform so that Black people are not unfairly treated.
