Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden said Wednesday that some funding should be redirected from police departments as some activists and Democrats have called to “defund the police” in the wake of protests and riots across the United States in recent weeks.

Biden, 77, was asked by an activist about whether some police funding needs to be redirected.
