Demo­c­ra­t­ic pres­i­den­tial nom­i­nee Joe Biden is call­ing for the police offi­cers involved in the shoot­ings of Jacob Blake and Bre­on­na Tay­lor to face charges.“I do think there’s a min­i­mum need [for them] to be charged,” Biden said of the police offi­cers while speak­ing to reporters on Wednes­day, also say­ing that “we should let the judi­cial sys­tem work its way,” per Axios.Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was shot by a police offi­cer try­ing to arrest him in Kenosha, Wis­con­sin, last month, while Tay­lor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was shot and killed by police exe­cut­ing a no-knock war­rant at her apart­ment in March. Both shoot­ings sparked out­rage amid protests against police bru­tal­i­ty and racial injustice.Sen. Kamala Har­ris (D‑Calif.), Biden’s run­ning mate, pre­vi­ous­ly called for charges against the offi­cer who shot Blake.“I believe there should be a thor­ough inves­ti­ga­tion, and based on what I’ve seen, it seems that the offi­cer should be charged,” Har­ris said, per USA Today. “The man was going to his car. He did­n’t appear to be armed. And if he was not armed, the use of force that was sev­en bul­lets com­ing out of a gun at close range in the back of the man, I don’t see how any­body could rea­son that that was jus­ti­fi­able.” More sto­ries from theweek.com 7 scathing car­toons about Trump’s divi­sive Kenosha response Rochester sus­pends 7 police offi­cers over asphyx­i­a­tion death of Daniel Prude Attor­ney Gen­er­al Barr won’t agree it’s ille­gal to vote twice, as Trump urged, claims igno­rance of state laws
