Why doesn't Biden come down hard saying that law enforcement is not the judge, jury, and executioner in a civil society, that every death at the hands of the police is a failure of our country's justice system, that looking at those deaths it's clear that is the system is unjust for the mentally ill and poor of any color, but particularly for poor people of color. And that ending any deaths at the hands of law enforcement needs be a priority from the federal government down to the local government. Law enforcement brings them in alive, and the judge and jury administers the law. Are there really that many voters that would oppose that message? Like, how many voters are really pro "death at the hands of the police"?

Bret Stephens, George Will, and Andrew Sullivan are giving Biden campaign advice?

Geez, it almost seems like when the DNC fills the stage with conservatives, conservatives think they get to steer the ship.
