Biden condemns ‘despicable’ Baton Rouge killingsMELBOURNE: US Vice President Joe Biden on Monday described the shooting deaths of three police officers in the Louisiana capital Baton Rouge as a “despicable act” that was an attack on the American way of life. Of the latest violence, Biden said: “My heart goes out … to those families.”“We will get to the bottom of this… but our enduring thanks to every law enforcement officer back home.” AFPAFP/CC Biden, on visit to Australia, said there was little detail on the latest violence against US law enforcement, which has also been condemned by President Barack Obama. We don’t know exactly how this occurred, what motive might have been behind it,” Biden said in Melbourne where he was visiting a Boeing plant. “At home, we cannot let others divide us now by making more or this less of this than it is really is,” he said.
