Vice President Kamala Harris will never be confused with a politician who supports police officers. In many ways, it legitimately can be argued that she views them as a problem. She developed this anti-police reputation during her time as a district attorney, attorney general, and senator. Throughout her time as a politician, she seemingly has favored doing more to prioritize the welfare of the criminal underclass than those willing to risk their lives to serve and protect communities from those very same people.

While police officers tried to take the bad guys off the streets, Harris diligently worked to keep them there. Her record shows that she was more effective in protecting criminals than protecting innocent people, as the Heritage Foundation previously highlighted. She viewed police officers as the problem in society, not the people plaguing communities with crime and murdering innocent people. She openly embraced the criminal justice philosophies and ideologies that led to the historical crime wave that plagued the country’s largest cities, many of which set records for violent crimes such as homicides and carjackings.
