Harris Agrees With Salon Editor on Police: They ‘Just Harass & Take Up Space In Poor Communities’
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | September 9, 2019 | Cameron Cawthorne

Posted on 09/09/2019 6:09:38 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) acknowledged Salon's editor-at-large D. Watkins was "right" about police officers after he claimed they "they just harass and take up space in poor communities."

Harris's campaign released a 31-minute campaign video on Monday that included Harris speaking with black leaders about the U.S. criminal justice system. Near the beginning of the video, Watkins criticized police officers and their role in poor communities.

"We shouldn't have to acknowledge their trauma because they're paid to be there. We live in these places. Police officers have historically not been held accountable because they protect and serve the rich and then they just harass and take up space in poor communities," Watkins said. "I don't see any type of big shift happening with the one term because it's like a cultural thing."

"Right," Harris said while nodding her head.

Who is funding these Dem. candidates and the liberal media?
Are people from other countries funding them?

This should go viral. Maybe The Stupid Party (GOP) or RNC can make that happen... nevermind.

This woman is a total fraud. Reminds me of Bill Clinton in ‘92. Say anything to whatever crowd assembled in front of them just to get elected.

A statement like that proves she does not understand the job description. And really disqualifies her from consideration. In a sane society, that is.

Fine, remove the police officers and let nature take it’s course; after which black “leaders” will complain and protest about how “their communities” are being left to rot and are under served.

I’m sure Soros is in some capacity. You may want to check out David Horowitz’s site.

Exactly. Since she wants to be president I guess she would mandate that Federally. No cops in "poor" communities.

Thanks. Also, just read Malkin’s new book has lists of organizations financially supporting open borders.

Build fences around those areas and let them fend for themselves.

Give it a couple of days. She’ll say she didn’t hear the statement she agreed with.

Everybody knows, poor & minority neighborhoods are SUPPOSED to be crime-infested.
The people who live there LIKE it that way.
The po-po need to get on outta there. Nobody don’t want no po-leece protection no way.

In actual fact, having lived in such neighborhoods, Ive observed the law abiding people there are cowering behind barred doors & windows, forced to BEG for regular police patrols which would tamp down the blatant free-for-all criminal activity.

They’re lucky to get any response even when the bodies lay in the street.
This is because the cops are wary of exactly these type of accusations — that they are a racist, occupying army— by the criminal element and their activist allies.
Cops are continually placed in a damned-if-we-do-or-dont situation.

Well Harris, YOU prosecute and lock up the people those worthless cops bring to you. What does that say about you?

Dumbass...

She is already disqualified by the Constitution.

She was born with THREE nationalities.

Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they have only ONE nationality.
