Grand opening, grand closing on Keisha for VP.
Kamala Harris somewhere smiling.
Kamala Harris was worse than Amy Klobashar when it came to prosecuting killer police officers.
"...At the same time, Harris, the state’s first black attorney general, steered clear of the legislative brawls over bills on policing, including what became a groundbreaking law to curb racial profiling.
Harris also rejected pleas by civil rights activists to investigate deadly police shootings of young black men in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
...For months, Harris has been fending off accusations, most recently in a debate Wednesday, that she did too little to fight racial bias in the criminal justice system...
For Harris, the timing was difficult. Police unions had overwhelmingly opposed her when she first ran for the job in 2010, in part because she declined to pursue the death penalty against the killer of a San Francisco police officer, Isaac Espinoza, when she was the San Francisco district attorney. She labored hard to secure their overwhelming support in her run for reelection.
“She had to walk a fine tightrope,” said Brian Marvel, a San Diego police officer and president of the Peace Officers Research Assn. of California, the state’s top police advocacy group.
But civil rights advocates also set high expectations.
“We always hope that because you look like us, you talk like us, you walk like us, you come from where we come from — that you’re not just reading about this in the news. You know there is a war being waged against black bodies,” said Cat Brooks, an Oakland activist who thought Harris fell short...
...Community activists urged Harris to investigate two high-profile police shootings in California —
Ezell Ford’s death in Los Angeles in 2014 and the 2015
killing of Mario Woods in San Francisco — but she demurred, saying she lacked legal grounds to overrule local prosecutors.
“I wouldn’t even say disappointed is a strong enough word for how we felt about how she did as attorney general,” said Kim McGill, an organizer with the Youth Justice Coalition... ."
Black men killed by police — what did Kamala Harris do about it?
Then the little bytch turned around and flipped flopped on the need for independent probes in police shootings. The heifer was against it when she was the Attorney General in California and she could have actually made a difference, but now she is for them; no doubt because she sees an opportunity for higher office by supporting the probes. Black people do not need to fall for Kamala Harris bullshyt.
