found a solid majority, 57% of Americans, believe the anger that led to the protests is justified. Fifty-seven percent also said police officers"are more likely to use excessive force" if a suspect is black, compared to one-third who said black and white suspects would be treated the same.
"There are some people in the middle who see some of that looting going on, but there's not a whole lot. He's got those people," Belt said. "If he wants to win reelection, he needs to expand beyond his base. This particular issue is not helping him to do that." The Trump campaign seized on the remarks. Biden, who already faced scrutiny from progressive black voters for helping pass the 1994 crime bill, quickly apologized.'I should not have been so cavalier': Joe Biden apologizes for suggesting black Trump voters 'ain't black'
As for energizing black voters to turn out for Biden in high numbers, Gillespie said"speaking at a church and having a photo op with some protesters is not enough." She added:"This has to be the start of a conversation and it shouldn't be the end of the conversation."Some African American protesters gathered at Lafayette Park near the White House this week said they want to see more from Biden, although they made clear they don't support Trump.
