Biden: 'Police Would Have Reacted Far Differently with Black Lives Matter Protestors' | BlackPressUSA

NNPA NEWSWIRE — The nation’s 46th president spoke of his granddaughter sending him a photo of armed security guards and law enforcement standing at the Lincoln Memorial during a Black Lives Matter protest last year. "She said, 'Pop, this isn't fair. No one can tell me if it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesting yesterday, they would not have been treated very, very different than the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol,'" Biden relayed. "We all know that it is true. And it is unacceptable. Totally unacceptable," Biden remarked.
