Fox News
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., backed away from the calls of his liberal colleagues to defund the police in a press conference Wednesday.
"We definitely need reforms in the space of qualified immunity," the Virginia Democrat said, asked about a tweet from Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. "But I, I am not in the camp that says, you know, we should disrespect police, we should reform police where police are necessary." "It wasn’t an accident," Tlaib tweeted after news of the police-involved shooting of Daunte Wright in Minnesota. "Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence. I am done with those who condone government funded murder." "No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can't be reformed," the congresswoman added.More Related News
