The President of the United States was scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the National Brotherhood of Police (FOP) memorial service on Monday, as America’s Law Enforcement Honor Week begins. The White House chief pulled out of the event, however, apparently at the last minute. His name had already been printed on the program for the event, and in place of Biden, US Attorney General Merrick Garland was sent to him.
Instead, Biden attended his granddaughter Maisie Biden’s graduation from the University of Pennsylvania, where the Biden Center is located, on Monday. This is where secret White House documents were discovered last year.
On Monday, Biden released a video message in honor of National Police Week and Peacekeepers’ Day of Remembrance, confirming that “the answer is not to defund law enforcement.” He then touted what he sees as his administration’s gun control successes. “I signed the most sweeping gun safety law in nearly 30 years to ensure that officers are unarmed on the streets,” Biden said. “called firearms — a ghost officers told me is increasingly being found at crime scenes,” Biden said, adding that he’s ‘raising another $37 billion to hire another 100,000 riot-trained cops’.
