The Prosecutor Who Does Not Prosecute

[Independent thinker]

I was just thinking about this after watching yet another thing on TV playing up Kamala Harris as a tough on crime prosecutor. Yeah, I'll concede the fact that back in the old days she prosecuted, convicted, and put in jail a lot of people (a lot of blacks) for minor crimes. But, that hasn't happened for a very long time. She now favors low incarcerations and letting criminals walk the streets. She also encouraged Americans to donate money to a fund which bailed out violent criminals (which a post of hers for donating to that Minnesota Freedom fund is still active today) and has not, in fact, been in favor of being tough on crime in any way, shape, or form for many years. So, playing her up as a tough on crime prosecutor is nothing but a big fat lie. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

Kamala Harris-backed 'Freedom Fund' that put murderers, rapists back on streets still up and running

A bail fund website that Vice President Kamala Harris actively promoted during the 2020 campaign and raised money for, which puts violent criminals back on the streets, is still active.

Yeah, it's impossible to win in California without being a far left loony tune. But, you could also sleep your way to the top.

That sloppy fuck failed the BAR exam (it didn't have a dick to service), so we're not dealing with the sharpest tool in the shed. She fluffed the party bosses while they directed the prosecutions.

Inspirations from an ookland slut....

Like Diogenes, Kamala goes whichever way the wind blows.

Harris has billed herself as a “progressive prosecutor” — but her record is complicated.​

Before joining the U.S. Senate in 2017, Harris spent years as a prosecutor in California, including as the San Francisco District Attorney and the state attorney general. It’s difficult to fit her time in those roles into a clear box as a “reformer,” a “progressive” or as a “tough-on-crime” campaigner, in large part because those definitions have changed substantially since her prosecutorial career began decades ago.

According to Jamilah King, writing for Mother Jones in 2018, “Harris has long tried to bridge the tricky divide between social progressivism and the work required as a prosecutor — sometimes more successfully than others.” One characteristic example: As San Francisco district attorney, Harris vowed not to seek the death penalty, but as California attorney general, her office argued it should stand.
