In reply to the discussion: NYT Opinion: Kamala Harris Was Not a 'Progressive Prosecutor' [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)We have one in Florida. She refuses to ask for the death penalty in even the most severe cases. She was publicly and visciously attacked by then governor Rick Scott, who took a high profile police killing case from her and gave it to a guy that called for the death penalty (the killer is a real asshole, not a likeable person at all, but killing him while he is in chains, like Scott wants, solves nothing).
Look at what is happening in Chicago. A prosecutor is trying not to run people through the criminal justice system for minor crimes and she is being investigated and attacked for her position.
From what I have read about her, Harris was a prosecutor that sought justice and protection of victims, in some cases that meant making choices that some frown on now.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
