Equal justice has not been real for Black Americans and so many others – Joe Biden React to shooting of Jacob by Police

The Democrat candidate, for United State Presidential election has reacted to the shooting of black America by the police in Wisconsin yesterday.

In his reaction, he condemned the action of the police officer, says immediate investigation should be carried out and the officer held accountable.

“Yesterday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back as police attempted to restrain him from getting into his car. His children watched from inside the car and bystanders watched in disbelief. And this morning, the nation wakes up yet again with grief and outrage that yet another Black American is a victim of excessive force. This calls for an immediate, full and transparent investigation and the officers must be held accountable.

These shots pierce the soul of our nation. Jill and I pray for Jacob’s recovery and for his children.

Equal justice has not been real for Black Americans and so many others. We are at an inflection point. We must dismantle systemic racism. It is the urgent task before us. We must fight to honor the ideals laid in the original American promise, which we are yet to attain: That all men and women are created equal, but more importantly that they must be treated equally.”
