One time, Kamala Harris prosecuted a mentally ill woman for assault after she was shot multiple times by police and then didn’t press charges against the cops.
In 2015, Kamala Harris opposed a bill requiring her office to investigate shootings involving police officers. She also refused to support standards regulating the use of body-cams for police.
Kamala Harris was also the biggest backer of state legislation permitting the prosecution and jailing of parents of truant/late-to-school children. Who do you think was disproportionately affected?
Kamala Harris’ prosecutorial record includes 1,500 convictions of people for marijuana offenses. (Which she apparently thinks is funny.) Which race do you think made up a majority of those convictions?
In 2014, when a federal CA judge ruled the death penalty unconstitutional, Kamala Harris appealed.
In 2014, Kamala Harris declined to take a position on Prop 47, a ballot initiative approved by voters, that reduced certain low-level felonies to misdemeanors. She laughed that year when a reporter asked if she would support the legalization of marijuana for recreational use.
How about George Gage? He was convicted of sex assault but the judge later learned the prosecutor held back exculpatory evidence. When Gage appealed, Kamala Harris wouldn’t budge and used a procedural technicality to keep him in prison. He’s still serving a 70-year sentence.
