For all the posturing Biden did after the verdict of George Floyd was announced, he has no idea what he is about to face.
The Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization used the George Floyd verdict to condemn President Biden for “sending more military equipment” to local police than former President Donald Trump did.
“Our communities are being terrorized at a greater rate than they had been under Trump Biden is currently sending more military equipment to our neighborhoods than Trump did. You read that right,” the organization tweeted.

“Biden’s first 100 days are up in 10 days. By then we need him to which transfers military equipment into the hands of police across the country– including school & campus police,” they tweeted.
BLM is referring to the 1033 Program, a Law Enforcement Support Office that grants “surplus military-grade equipment to local law enforcement agencies. BLM claims that since the Clinton administration “over $7 billion has been given to law enforcement agencies.”
Biden believes he’s posturing with social justice advocates however, they don’t believe him.
