No, but he started the Crime Bill with Clinton that put thousands of blacks in jail unfairly including life sentences for blacks from simple drug offenses. I know, you don't want to hear the facts just bash Trump who has done more for minorities then any recent President. Actually, if you think about it if you are racist you would want to vote for Biden......
Trump supports the Police and every President should do that. The cop in Minnesota was definitely wrong and should fry for what he did. But in Atlanta the blame is on the suspect and he lost his life because of his actions..... end of story.
so again, What has Biden done? There is no answer but this. I hate Trump so I am voting for Biden.
The Justice Department opened a record number of civil rights investigations of police departments. The results have been mixed but Biden has said he’d go even further than his old boss.

Joe Biden’s critics often blame the 1994 crime bill he helped author for furthering mass incarceration of Black Americans. But one of the bill’s less discussed, most progressive provisions gave the Justice Department the authority to investigate local police departments.
The Clinton Administration used the new law to investigate the Los Angeles Police Department, in the wake of the 1991 beating of Rodney King. Its consent agreement with the LAPD, which cost $300 million, took nine years to implement. A
Harvard University study of the L.A. reforms found that uses of serious force dropped for five years straight as the decree was implemented, and that at the end, 83 percent of L.A. residents, including more than two-thirds of Blacks and Hispanics, said the LAPD was doing a good or excellent job.
The Obama administration used the law even more aggressively. It launched 23 investigations, found constitutional violations in nearly all of them, and forged 25 reform agreements. Most remain in effect today; once they’re signed, a federal judge and a court-appointed monitoring team enforce them, with some input from local Justice Department lawyers. They’re typically set up to last until the reforms are implemented — a process that takes at least five years, usually more. Data on the reforms’ effectiveness usually emerges late in a consent decree’s lifespan, after cities rewrite policies, train police on them, and collect new data about their effects.
Many consent decrees have successfully improved police departments, police accountability experts say, though some have stalled due to stubborn resistance from police or local officials.
Trump wanted to end evolutionary change within the system. He got it.

Trump’s first attorney general, Jeff Sessions,
ended the restriction on transferring military equipment to police,
reviewed all consent decrees struck by his predecessor, and then
restricted their use going forward. “It is not the responsibility of the federal government to manage non-federal law enforcement agencies,” he insisted.
When William Barr took over for Sessions — whom Trump fired for refusing to violate Justice Department guidelines — there was nothing left of the Obama reforms to undo. Still, Barr continued to rail against the specter of criminal justice reform. Barr presented the reform movement, now confined to local officials, as a civilizational threat. “There is another development that is demoralizing to law enforcement and dangerous to public safety,” he railed last August, “that is the emergence in some of our large cities of district attorneys that style themselves as ‘social justice’ reformers, who spend their time undercutting the police, letting criminals off the hook, and refusing to enforce the law.” (Letting criminals off the hook is only acceptable if Barr is
doing it himself.)
A vote for Biden is a vote for China America
Better red than yellow, eh?
