We need to fund the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities. That’s why we designed the American Rescue Plan not only to beat the pandemic and rebuild our economy — but to restore public safety.

My heart goes out to Tyre Nichols’ family and to Americans in Memphis and across the country who are grieving this tremendously painful loss. There are no words to describe the heartbreak and grief of losing a beloved child and young father. Here's my full statement.

@POTUS Thank you, President Biden. For your leadership in this time of Police Brutality.

@POTUS I DID notice one person in the video who was practicing a trained method of de-escalation tactics. Unfortunately,that person was being killed at the time.

@POTUS You and your empty promises were carried to the White House on the back of black activists and anti-police violence protests. You hired more cops and gave them more money and military weapons. Your policies resulted in the record highest police murders. You're doing this.

@POTUS Indefensible conduct & incompetent policing, YES, w/o question. But this is grossly irresponsible of you as a leader. Black cops savagely beat a black man. Don't stoke a fire that doesn't need to burn.

@POTUS I understand your statement, and won’t say what I want to say. America’s hearts go out to Tyre, and his family. A clear case of police brutality, just horrible. This is not racial, it’s a people on person crime, nothing else matters.

@POTUS Mr. President, this is a 10-year-old article. The FBI warned us roughly 17 years ago but nothing has been done. pbs.org/newshour/natio…

@POTUS The president spend more time hearing about the people of Ukraine. That he cares about the lives of black Americans who voted for him we are living in a police state, and Joe Biden is the president.

@POTUS The officers who killed him must be racist.
