'You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-cop,' Biden told members of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives. - thereidout Blog
Biden’s reference to Jan. 6 and his distinction between good and bad cops was essential in clarifying what we ought to expect from police officers: safety, not sedition. And on top of that, his comments were valuable in dispelling the myth that conservatives — and former President Donald Trump in particular — truly care about officers’ well-being. Officers were speared, sprayed, stomped on and brutalized that day, Biden said, adding that “lives were lost.
“And for three hours, the defeated former president of the United States watched it all happen as he sat in the comfort of the private dining room next to the Oval Office,” Biden said. He appears to have watched the latest Jan. 6 hearing, which focused heavily on Trump’s refusal to quell the riot as his supporters effectively waged war on police guarding the Capitol.
“While he was doing that, brave law enforcement officers were subject to medieval hell for three hours. Dripping in blood. Surrounded by carnage,” Biden said, noting they faced off against a mob motivated by Trump’s lies. “Donald Trump lacked the courage to act,” he said. “The brave women and men in blue all across this nation should never forget that.”
