Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s campaign rejected calls to defund or abolish police forces in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody and Black Lives Matter protests.

A campaign spokesperson for Biden stated on Monday that the presumptive Democratic nominee “does not believe that police should be defunded,” but he instead called for “reform.”
