Kamala Harris has been running from her past during this Presidential campaign.
But she has a lot to answer for.
And Kamala Harris was fuming when the police shut down this awful scheme.
Kamala Harris tried to let drug dealers get off scot-free
Vice President Kamala Harris has undergone a dramatic political makeover after she became the Democrat Presidential nominee.
She was rebranded as a tough prosecutor who took on big corporations and threw the bad guys in jail.
But this image doesn’t match the reality of Kamala’s time as San Francisco District Attorney.
She came up with a program in 2005 known as Operation Safe Streets that would prevent drug dealers from being prosecuted until they were caught for the third time selling narcotics.
The Daily Wire obtained a copy of a letter that then-San Francisco Police Chief Heather Fong sent to Kamala about the program.
“This proposal asks us not to arrest, but instead detain and release observed narcotics sales suspects pursuant to Penal Code Section 849(b) P.C. When the same suspect is arrested the third time for narcotics sales, your office would then charge all three counts,” Fong wrote.
Fong warned Kamala that this policy would be a disaster and encourage drug dealers to relocate to San Francisco.
“Additionally, narcotics dealers who sell drugs near a school would be released after only a brief detention,” Fong stated. “Undoubtedly, this would send the wrong message to observant children who unfortunately witness drug dealing activity on a regular basis.”
Kamala’s pro-crime record
Representative Kevin Kiley (R-CA) told the Daily Mail that Kamala’s campaign was peddling fiction about her record as a prosecutor.
“The campaign is trying to completely reinvent reality,” Kiley said. “Those of us who have actually lived in California . . . know all too well what the reality was. She was a champion of San Francisco’s sanctuary city policy, […] and she herself said in her own book that she was a progressive prosecutor.”
Kiley pointed to the Operation Safe Streets program.
“The more the American people learn about what her actual record was, they’re going to see this campaign rhetoric for the facade that it is,” Kiley added.
Former San Francisco Police Department Deputy Chief Kevin Cashman said his department pushed back on Operation Safe Streets in 2005.
“We immediately saw that it wouldn’t be effective for our mission of keeping San Francisco safe,” Cashman said. “The district attorney called the strategy she recommended Operation Safe Streets. We in the police department called it Catch and Release because we would have to catch them, identify them, and then release them back in the community without any action taken.”
This pro-crime attitude carried over to Kamala’s time in the Senate and during her failed 2020 Presidential campaign.
Kamala supported ending cashing bail, eliminating mandatory minimums for federal crimes, and imposing new federal laws that handcuffed local police from doing their jobs during her failed Presidential bid.
She expressed support for the “Defund the Police” movement in the summer of 2020 after George Floyd’s death.
But Kamala’s campaign is hoping to pull a fast one on voters with a shortened campaign and cover up her real pro-crime record.
