Biden on MLK Day: Cops Must ‘Respect the Dignity of Every Person’ They Encounter

‘All minorities, no matter what the neighborhood, have a right to be treated with respect and with dignity’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "We have to recognize that cop on a beat is also a mom who plays basketball. It is a responsibility of every community to recognize humanity of men and women who volunteer to put on that uniform and go into harm's way to answer the urgent call in the middle of a night in a two-story walk-up to do the best they can. But it's also the responsibility of every officer who takes on the oath to protect and serve to respect the dignity of every person that officer encounters: young, old, male, female, black, white, Hispanic or Asian."
