Biden warns ‘no justification’ for violent protest after ‘tragic’ police shooting
WASHINGTON, April 13, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – US President Joe Biden on Monday called the shooting of a Black motorist by police “tragic” but warned that violent protests were unjustifiable.
The incident in a Minneapolis suburb was a “really tragic thing that happened but I think we have to wait and see what the investigation shows,” Biden told reporters.
“In the meantime, I want to make it clear again: there is absolutely no justification, none, for looting. Peaceful protests — understandable,” he added.
