President Joe Biden appealed to the families of fallen police officers during the annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service at the U.S. Capitol.
“I admire your courage in being here, and I hope you take comfort in the knowledge that their sacrifice will never be forgotten,” Biden told the crowd on Wednesday.
President Joe Biden speaks during a memorial service to honor law enforcement officers who’ve lost their lives in the past year during National Police Week ceremonies at the Capitol in Washington on Wednesday, May 15, 2024. Despite Biden’s support of police officers, he has had an uneasy relationship with law enforcement, exacerbated by calls during the 2020 election to defund departments across the country. For instance, he was criticized in March for not attending the funeral of New York City Police Department Officer Jonathan Diller, who was shot dead during a traffic stop in Queens.
