JAKARTA - The Republican candidate for President of the United States (US presidential candidate), Donald Trump described the Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, as weak in dealing with crime. This he made during the first round of presidential debates which took place on Tuesday, September 29 evening or Wednesday 30 September morning WIB.

"You can't even say the word 'law enforcement,' because if you say those words you will lose all your radical leftists," Trump said, during a debate held in Cleveland by Case Western Reserve University.

"And why don't you say the words, Joe?" said Trump.

Trump has tried to link Biden to unrest in US cities that began in the spring after the death of black man George Floyd, according to Fox News. Trump also linked Biden to the "take out police funds" movement, a push to reallocate funds from the police department to other government programs to reduce crime and improve social welfare.

"He's talking about canceling police funds," Trump said. "He doesn't have legal backing. He doesn't have enforcement support."

However, more than 175 current and former law enforcement officials supported Biden's decision in early September. They said it was Trump who broke the law.

"We believe in law and order. But you are not. The top ten cities are led by Democrats, and in most cases, radical lefts. And they get you hooked up, Joe," Trump said.

In one debate about unrest in US cities, Biden was asked by debate moderator, Chris Wallace, whether he had called the Democratic governor of Oregon or the mayor of Portland to press for an end to violence by bringing in the National Guard. But Biden made it clear that he did not have the authority to do so.

"I don't hold a public office right now," said Biden. "I am a former vice president. I made it clear in my statement that acts of violence must be prosecuted. "

Biden has also repeatedly said he never supported cutting police funds. But he said he would condition federal funding for law enforcement and see if it met "basic minimum standards." Biden wants reforms and intends to invest $ 300 million in community policy.

"There is systemic injustice in this country, in education, in employment and in law enforcement," said Biden. "But look, most of the policemen are nice, polite, respectable men and women, they risk their lives every day to protect us. But there are some bad apples and they must be held accountable," concluded Biden.
