⁍ Protesting Monday’s deadly police shooting of Walter Wallace, 27, ‘was totally legitimate, totally reasonable,’ Biden said.
⁍ Biden cited Wallace’s father’s plea to end the violence.
– Protests following the police shooting of a black man in Philadelphia this week were “totally legitimate, totally reasonable,” said Joe Biden, who urged calm after voting in Delaware yesterday. “There’s no excuse whatsoever for the looting or the violence,” the former vice president told reporters, according to Reuters. He added that the shooting of 27-year-old Walter Wallace “was totally legitimate, totally reasonable.” Wallace’s father had called for protests following his son’s death, Biden said, but “there’s no excuse whatsoever for the looting or the violence.”
