JOE BIDEN/POLICE: Joe Biden “does not believe that police should be defunded… Biden supports the urgent need for reform — including funding for public schools, summer programs, and mental health and substance abuse treatment separate from funding for policing — so that officers can focus on the job of policing.”

-Andrew Bates, Biden campaign spokesperson, as quoted by Bill Barrow, “Biden promises police changes without stripping funding,” apnews.com, June 8, 2020
