Alt text: a screenshot of a microblog post with the text “you walking down an alleyway with a gram of weed in your pocket, who would you rather catch you?” Below are two pictures side by side. One of Kamala Harris and the other of Batman.
She’s not a cop anymore. She was the DA of San Francisco in 2004-2011, and she was the Attorney General of California from 2011-2017. She was responsible for prosecuting people, and lead an effort to police black and poor families harder. She also was directly responsible for transgender inmates having their gender-confirming surgeries withheld. Also remember that time she mocked people chanting “schools not jails”?
Which part of that was her being a cop?
The part where she prosecuted poor black parents because their children missed school when they were sick in the hospital?
Cops don’t prosecute people. Lawyers do.
No, prosecutors prosecute. Prosecutors are not literally cops (duh), but they are a very important part of the criminal ”justice” system. Cops couldn’t put people away without their help
Do you have anything of value to contribute to the discussion, or is your sole issue that Kamala Harris has not ever actually served on a police force?
If somehow not serving on a police force makes you a cop then I guess we’re all bastards.
And yes, that’s really my sole issue. I didn’t think it was going to be controversial to point out that she wasn’t a cop.
You do understand that we say “ACAB” because it’s catchier than “I dislike the so-called justice system that does nothing but destroy lives for the state, and that includes cops, lawyers, prosecutors, etc.”, (IDTSCJSTDNBDLFTSATICLPE) right?
I bet you also say things like “You can’t call everyone you don’t like a nazi, the nazi party ended decades ago!”
I say this with all the kindness in my heart, please log off and go outside.
IDTSCJSTDNBDLFTSATICLPE is definitely going in the side bar.
Finally, The Left recognizes me for the thought leader I am!

What about cops could you possibly dislike that doesn’t also apply to a DA and AG who pushed for false convictions and refused medical care to trans prisoners?
Harris isn’t a cop in the same way Trump isn’t a member of the Fascist party. Do you have a problem with people calling Trump a fascist?
Which part of that was ok?
Different argument.
Appreciate the links but that was 7+ years ago. What are her stances now?
She keeps telling us that we should vote for her because of her record as a prosecutor and Attorney General so apparently what she did in those roles is what she thinks is important.
You replied to the wrong person.
OK Poindexter does someone need to explain linguistics to you?
A gram of weed would get you a citation at most in SF back then, but most likely some “get that high school shit out of here” comment.
Source: I lived in SF back then and had friends who had nearly that exact experience.
What was their skin color?

Oh OK I’m suppose to just ignore the statistically relevant disproportionate treatment of black people in the injustice system.

Put what back in the deck? What does that mean?

That is sadly a very valid question for SF cops at that time.

This didn’t come out until several years later, but I doubt racism in the force just suddenly popped up.
