Biden emphatically renounced the "Defund the Police" movement in his speech and most Democrats applauded his statement.
"Proven strategies like community violence interruption, trusted messengers, breaking the cycle of violence and trauma, and giving young people some hope," said Biden.
"We should all agree the answer is not to defund the police, it's to fund the police!" he added.
"Fund them! Fund them!" Biden continued during the applause. "Fund them with resources and training! Resources and training they need to protect our communities!"
Not all were pleased at the policy announcement.
The official BLM account posted a frowning photograph of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) in response to Biden's statement.
