Biden, White House shift tone on law and order amid crime spike in America
Fox News
President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have attempted to distance themselves from the push to defund the police as big cities have become hotspots for violent crime.
Prior to taking office, Biden suggested on the campaign trail that he would be "absolutely" OK with efforts to redirect some police funding, a suggestion he later walked back as he targeted Republicans and claimed they were "lying" about efforts promoted by members of the Democratic Party to "defund the police."
At that time, Biden claimed he had "never said defund the police" and insisted "we need more policemen, not fewer policemen" despite his previous support for reallocating funds.
