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.

She is the worst Presidential candidate I have ever seen. Is the Democratic party having a nervous breakdown?
I don’t care for her trashing her opponents. I haven’t heard her tell about her accomplishments other than the usual puffery which has no foundation.
Hope she loses by a huge margin. She isn’t even fit to lead a small city VS THE United States of America
I believe Kamala will be able to step up to the plate and advance the cause for democracy
Biden didn’t do much as president. But Kamala as president is a scary thought, she doesn’t have what it takes to be president. Kamala couldn’t handle the task of the border she was given when she was vice president. She keeps harping on Trump over abortion, and he’s agrees on leaving to the states to decide. As a woman and a voter I won’t vote for her I don’t believe she’s capable of doing the job of president. Biden has made the US a joke to other countries, and we’re weak, not respected, Kamala will make it so much worse.
Bringing in the Newsome wouldn’t be any better he’s a joke! Look what he’s done to California
It’s a disaster.
she is not a good person to run the USA. her policy are bull crap. and I can’t see a woman of color running this country . you me tell me in the USA you have no one else to vote for , if she wins the she USA will be in a civil war against man kind. .she is not for the people and something must be wrong with those people that vote for her. I hope they are not voting for her because she is India decent . I don’t consider her black at all . this my opinion , please vote someone that will help the people.
Should the voters of America chance themselves withHarris, pray do not make me laugh.
Ignore them like she did her appointment as border czar ? I don’t care at all for’ The Giggler’ !
In the 1st year after Biden was elected, Harris was appointed to be the Border Czar. Harris should be personally held accountable to every family that was effected at the hands of an IMMAGRANT! I say this factually because she never acted on this appointment with any degree of concerned attention!
MULTITUDES by the thousands into the millions of immiagrants have crossed our borders illegally and have found their way into communities or large metropolitan areas. In BOTH locations, we have seen Murders, Rapist, Drug dealers of large quantities, illegal Marijuana farms, robbery, assaults and God only knows what else!
What has Harris done to make a difference? NOT ONE DAMNED THING!
I will take my chances with Kamala all day long. What’s the alternative ? A criminal that tried to burn down the capital a guy that’s telling you he’s taking away Your right to vote. He belongs in a mental institution. Vote red if you’re a terrorist vote blue if you believe in family values, kindness, and love for one another.
