Biden quit demonizing BLM. That's a huge step in calming things instead of being the strong man who dismisses their beliefs and calls them sons of bitches. Trump having done more is laughable when he intentionally inflamed the situation.

Like I dont mind Biden's position on the left wing riots. BLM or antifa for that matter. I feel like rational people are going to be upset with clear police brutality that is happening. Though the tremendous violence that is involved is wrong. Biden is right to say this. However, as a leader who acknowledges police brutality. He should do something about it.

If you look at it objectively. Trump has to date done more for the blm cause than the democrats since replacing trump.

As of right now, they have achieved nothing for blm. Like I think we can all agree there's a police brutality problem. But also clearly a racism related issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKGZnB41_e4 The only difference is skin colour and police react much differently.

As a leader this needs to be fixed. So lets step back. Why would Trump not acknowledge the issue or attack blm? Why is biden and friends doing nothing for them?

Also, why does blm only exist during elections? https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&ge...

BLM isn't about police brutality. It's not even about racism. Trump attacks them because of what they are and biden ignores them because of what they are.

Alas, sideline BLM. The USA still has a police problem. Biden seems to acknowledge the problem exists and they seem to be clearly not interested in fixing the problem.
