President Joe Biden boasted that he had increased funding for law enforcement while tightening gun control in a video statement for Peace Officer’s Memorial Day on May 15. Biden said he had one objective in pushing for wider gun restrictions.

“I want to make sure officers are not outgunned on the streets. Let’s be very clear; the answer is not to defund the police,” Biden said during the almost three-minute video released on the president’s Twitter thread that morning.
