But what about the topic of policing and police brutality?
Police brutality, which distinctly affects people of color in the US, is a public health crisis. As a district and attorney general, Kamala adopted several “tough on crime” strategies that have attracted criticism.
In 2015, she declined to back legislation that would have enforced specific requirements for local police departments that use body cameras, claiming that law enforcement leaders should use their discretion to figure out what technology they will use based on needs and resources.
Nevertheless, it was during her time serving as attorney general that the Department of Justice in California adopted the nation’s first statewide body cam initiative.
More than ten years ago, she also favored severe truancy laws that fined parents up to $2,000 if their kids missed too many school days without a valid reason. This policy was criticized for impacting communities of color at an excessive rate.
But recently, Harris expressed regret over enforcing the policy on a podcast and said it had “unintended consequences” of criminalizing parents.
And as anti-police-brutality and anti-racism protests swept the nation, Kamala Harris and other senators reacted by introducing a bill that would require federal officers to have dashboard and body cameras, prohibit choke holds, and prohibit no-knock warrants.
She said in a statement introducing the Justice in Policing Act of 2020:
“America’s sidewalks are stained with Black blood. In the wake of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor’s murders, we must ask ourselves: How many more times must our families and our communities be put through the trauma of an unarmed Black man or woman’s killing at the hands of the very police who are sworn to protect and serve them?”
She continued to say that she understood that real public safety required police accountability and community trust and that she was proud to introduce this historic legislation to get our country on a path forward.

So I was raised in a middle class family…
Hell NO. She is not Presidential material what so ever. She is a babbling drunk that has NO answers for anything. Her so called speeches sucked. Salad words and more Salad. She would continue to destroy this once great nation that Trump has to restore from all the damage from Biden and his cronies. It is pathetic what has gone on the last four years. I am 70+ and have never seen such damage done to our country in the last 4 years. The fact that this administration tries to control every dam aspect of our life. What we can say, what we use to cook, use to heat our hot water or heat our home, wanting to have control of our bank accounts, spying on every aspect of our life. It is communism pure and simple. Biden hasn’t done this all on his own either. Jill I am sure was the one pushing student loan forgiveness. Obama and others working with cognitive Biden to destroy us. Don’t always agree with the way Trump calls names etc. but he did do a lot for our country and look forward to him fixing what is broken, which is a lot. Illegals OUT, Inflation going down, fuel independence back. He will do it all I’m sure in time. TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
Vice President Harris please run again.
She was not qualified for the vice president position and this country would have been over if she had won the presidential election. She is not smart, her policies would have devastated our country. To have her follow the WORSE president in the history of the country would have brought this country and people in it to knees. Thank God she lost!!!
Isn’t this post kind of Late in the game.
Trumps inauguration is next week?
She hasn’t got the brains to be president. She saw how poorly Biden was doing and yet she said she wouldn’t change anything.
She is an idiot and has no business being the President of the United States. I would never vote for such an incompetent woman. Her word salads make me want to vomit!!
Cackling Kamala is an example of the Peter principle!!!!
Forget about Harris, Govenor Newsom is the logical choice to run. The democratic party needs to “man up” not compromise. Sorry Kamala, it’s nothing personal – it’s the dirty repugnicans we need to fight nard against. No I’m not being racist or misogynistic – just realistic about needing a fighter, not a compromise.
The decision by the DNC not to question the results of the election added to their inability to have the validity of the whole computerized monitoring system analyzed resulted in a loss to a convicted felon. What a terrible decision.
Please, don’t make the mistake of promoting the wrong candidate from the “get go”. Wake up yourselves!
What a bunch of crap…
