JOE BIDEN/POLICE: “I have called for immediate legislative action to begin the urgent process of policing reform. No mother should worry that her child or loved one isn’t safe walking the streets of America. We must take action, starting with immediately outlawing the use of chokeholds and creating a model use of force standard to make de-escalation priority one. In addition, if I have the honor of becoming President, I will create a national police oversight commission in my first hundred days in office to ensure that our police protect and serve all members of their communities.”
