Washington, June 13 (RHC)-- While calls are growing for cities to defund the police, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, is calling for an increase in police funding. 

In an op-ed in USA Today, Biden called for police departments to receive an additional $300 million to “reinvigorate community policing in our country.” On Wednesday night, Biden discussed police funding on “The Daily Show.”

Joe Biden said: “I don’t believe police should be defunded, but I think the conditions should be placed upon them where departments are having to take significant reforms relating to that.  We should set up a national use-of-force standard.”
