The uptick in crimes being committed in the United States is a huge problem. It’s also a nightmare that Democrats opened the door to once they began defunding the police. As crime continues to surge, President Biden and other Democrats have come under fire.
Many left-wing mayors who defunded law enforcement are looking to walk this back by restoring funding for police. Meanwhile, the Biden White House is also working to distance itself from the movement of defunding police, amid the political fallout.
On Monday, President Biden met with a group of law enforcement leaders and other officials. During this time, Biden expressed support for more policing and stronger action against gun crimes.
