The Los Angeles Police Department has pulled its cops from a security detail at Kamala Harris’ Brentwood, California home after outrage that crime-fighting units were being diverted to guard the former vice president.
A dozen Metro Division officers had been stationed outside Harris’ mansion after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection last week, ending an extension through which had been quietly granted by President Biden.
By Saturday, the backup was gone, sources told the Los Angeles Times.
The short-lived detail drew fury inside the department after LAPD officers were pulled from crime suppression in the San Fernando Valley to guard Harris.
“Pulling police officers from protecting everyday Angelenos to protect a failed presidential candidate who also happens to be a multi-millionaire … and who can easily afford to pay for her own security, is nuts,” the Los Angeles Police Protective League’s board said.
Mayor Karen Bass had directed LAPD to assist the California Highway Patrol in the wake of Trump’s move, which she called an act of “political retaliation.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who had to approve CHP protection, hasn’t confirmed the arrangement, but his office said “the safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulse.”
A FOX 11 helicopter spotted LAPD officers standing guard at Harris’ home earlier this week, but the city-funded detail was always expected to be temporary, with Harris likely to hire private security.

It takes a dozen to guard her??? From what????????
Make Kamala yank her own cops off!
They’re not there to guard Kamala. They’re there to guard the nannies from Doug.
Pay for your own security if you really need it. Ridiculous.
Every bureaucrat gets a chauffeur. “Security Details” are really to insulate and protect the assigned person from their own awful decsion making and resulting consequences. Drunk driving, drugs, prostitutes, weapons charges, you know......like a Paul Pelosi party, or a Biden crack bath.
Ouch! that is a clever statement, appropriate, knowing of her history.
“Good on. yer!”
To be honest, nobody wants to harm Kamala Harris
She’s too stupid, too insignificant, has no independent thought or ideology, and is so greatly out of her depth in high-level politics, that she has almost zero chance of being elected to anything ever again.
A little political ploy by Bass/Newsome backfires.
Or did it? Maybe the plan was to make Harris even more unpopular.
Doubt if anything could accomplish THAT!!
My thoughts exactly.
