Vice-Presidential candidate Kamala Harris praised Black Lives Matter, says ongoing protests are “essential” for change in US, and “an investigation is warranted into the police shooting of 26-year-old EMT Breonna Taylor!”
Harris praised the ‘brilliance’ and ‘impact’ of Black Lives Matter, but it is clearly apparent that she is Exploiting, Commodifying, Merchandising, and Commercializing the current Black Lives Matter Dissent Movement, for personal and political gain, pandering to her Corruptocrats and Kleptocrats bagmen engaged in transactional justice! Article on CNBC: “Harris income increased from $145,000 to $1.9 million last year.”
BUT, “There is no there there!”: A descriptive phrase ( originally coined by Gertrude Stein in a quote about her birthplace, Oakland CA.) now used to convey an utter lack of substance or veracity as it pertains to the subject under discussion.
Kamala Harris, also known as “Hillary Clinton in blackface” from the comparison between Harris and Clinton, “#BlackHillary” trended with “light-skinned Hillary”; Black Lives Matter movement and other critics have trolled her on Twitter with the hashtag #Kamalaisacop; advocates for criminal justice reform say her office was part of the problem, not the solution; Harris violated defendants’ constitutional rights by failing to disclose they knew about the tainted drug evidence in her crime lab scandal that resulted in the dismissal of over 1,000 drug cases; laughed when she said she smoked marijuana, yet opposed recreational pot while she convicted over 2,000 people for having marijuana; oppossed independent investigations of police shootings; opposed racism in the legal system and the mandatory use of body cameras by police: California reduce its prison population by 33,000 inmates Harris argued in court that releasing them would drastically reduce their prison labor pool (seriously!); there were 600,000 truant students in elementary schools, she passed a law making it a criminal misdemeanor for parents or guardians of truant children that could face a $2,000 fine or up to one year in jail; She’s shut down websites of sex workers and prosecuted those involved, then moved to decriminalize sex work in a “massive shift; authored numerous policies that disproportionately harmed Black and Latino defendants; fake feminist! who is Jamaican/Indian who identifies and passed as a black woman.
Jim Stearns, who ran Harris’ first campaign, said “Kamala has always wanted to have a seat at the table,” Jim Stearns, said. “So it would be a mistake to see Kamala or to expect from Kamala that she is ever going to stand outside of the system and demand the kind of wholesale changes that people who stand out of the system want.”
Leaders, activist, protestors, and angered citizens from ALL walks of life have risen up and flooded the airwaves with degrading criticism of Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R.) as a “sell-out negro” for not charging officers in the death of Breonna Taylor.
Yet NONE of the same has confronted Vice Presidential candidate Kamala “Kriminala Harrass” Harris who says an investigation is warranted into the police shooting of 26-year-old EMT Taylor.
Then Sacramento Assemblyman Kevin McCarty authored a bill to require the Attorney General to take away investigations of police shootings from local district attorneys, Harris opposed the bill, and it died. She also declined to support another bill requiring police officers to wear body cameras.
Her opposition to statewide legislation didn’t sit well with the California Legislative Black Caucus. They saw her as on the wrong side of the fight.
Recently Women’s March cofounder Tamika Mallory said Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R.) was a “sell-out negro” for not charging officers in the death of Breonna Taylor.
“Daniel Cameron is no different than the sell-out negroes that sold our people into slavery and helped white men to capture our people, to abuse them, and to traffic them while our women were raped, while our men were raped by savages,” Mallory said during a news conference held by Benjamin Crump, an attorney representing Taylor’s family. “That is who you are, Daniel Cameron. You are coward. You are a sellout. And you were used by the system to harm your own mama.”
Retired Los Angeles police sergeant Cheryl Dorsey on suggested Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron is a foe of African Americans because prosecutors aren’t bringing murder charges for the death of Breonna Taylor.
“Let me say this as a black woman, [Cameron] does not speak for black folks,” Dorsey said during an appearance on MSNBC. “He’s skin folk but he is not kinfolk. And so just like he thinks they can’t speak for Kentucky because he’s up there with a black face, he does not speak for all of us.”
Reverend Doctor William J. Barber, II, Pastor of Greenleaf Christian Church, and head of the Repairers of the Breach, architect of the Moral Monday Movement, Co-Chair of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call For Moral Revival, stated that Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron should “Just because the attorney general is black does not mean he gets a pass on criticism. And he, too, is an enabler of racism if he allows these officers not to be tried in the courts, tried, the trial.”

I reached out to Rev. Dr. Barber and asked if he felt that this same criterion should be applied to others in the same or similar position that did the same or similar thing and I got no response.
If these comments are made about Cameron for a Grand Jury decision, not his, not to charge the
officers, then how do you reconcile Harris’ OPPOSING LEGISLATION TO CHARGE POLICE FOR THE DEADLY USE OF FORCE, TO INVESTIGATE POLICE SHOOTINGS AND DEADLY USE OF FORCE, POLICE OFFICERS TO WEAR BODY CAMERAS, NOT CHARGING ANY POLICE AND ADAMANTLY DEFENDING DOING SO??!!!
In one case, 29-year-old police officer, Isaac Espinoza, was shot and killed by a gang member, and Harris announced before Espinoza’s funeral that her office would NOT seek the Deant Penalty, but seek life without the possibility of parole.
Gary Delagnes says “By having a press conference before the kid was even in the ground to announce that she was not seeking the death penalty, I mean, it was such a cold political move that, I mean, it just showed a complete lack of compassion.”
Suzy Loftus, who worked under Harris as both a deputy district attorney and assistant attorney general, said “She made the decision quickly, announced it quickly and recognized later that there were so many people who were so deeply impacted in that moment and in grief and in pain. And that loss was exacerbated by an announcement in the middle of it. But, Loftus said, “it didn’t make Harris a different or more cautious politician.”
Jim Stearns, who ran Harris’ first campaign, said there has been a tension throughout Harris’ career: between what’s expected of her as a member of law enforcement and what’s asked of her by progressive activists who see themselves in her.
“Kamala has always wanted to have a seat at the table,” Jim Stearns, said. “So it would be a mistake to see Kamala or to expect from Kamala that she is ever going to stand outside of the system and demand the kind of wholesale changes that people who stand out of the system want.”
That tension would play out most dramatically when Harris took on her next job, as Attorney General of the State of California as “Someone … who’s been so vilified”
With the national focus on Harris,she has struggled to reconcile her calls for reform with her record on these same issues of social justice, police misconduct, police shootings, deadly use of force, and racial injustice during a long career in law enforcement that is central to the campaign.
Since becoming California’s attorney general in 2011, she had largely avoided intervening in cases involving killings by police.
In 2010, Harris won the narrowest of victories to become California’s first female and first Black attorney general as opponents painted Harris as anti-police.
But she soon found herself at odds with another key constituency: progressive Democrats.Harris faced
flak from liberals, particularly from within the black community, who criticized her for not taking a tougher stance on racism in the legal system and police brutality: furthering policies that disproportionately harm Black and Latino defendants.
With deadly police shootings in the news, following a summer of protests demanding urgent reforms, Democrats in the California State Legislature were pushing a bill to require independent investigations of deadly use of force.
Kevin McCarty authored a 2015 bill to require the Attorney General to take away investigations of police shootings from local district attorneys, who, he said, have an inherent conflict of interest.
“You know, if you’re at a high school baseball game looking out there and seeing the umpire is the uncle of one of the star players, are you going to trust that umpire to call balls and strikes fairly? The answer is no,” said McCarty.
Harris opposed the bill, and another bill requiring police officers to wear body cameras.
Her opposition to statewide legislation didn’t sit well with the California Legislative Black Caucus and Sen. Holly Mitchell, a Los Angeles Democrat and member of the Legislative Black Caucus, told the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that Harris’ “absence is noticeable,” adding that “people are looking to her for guidance and direction.”
LaDoris Cordell, who was an independent police auditor in San Jose. said “There’s this fine line. You’re the top cop, but you’re also a prosecutor which is representing the people. And oftentimes those two things are not compatible,” she said.
Investigations of police shootings are in some ways a no-win situation, Cordell contends. “The feeling is that people are passing around this hot potato. When these shootings happen, they’re very controversial. The public is very aware. There are protests, and it’s sort of like, you know, people just don’t really want to handle them,” she said.
Harris said her opposition to the bill wasn’t based on fear of catching a hot potato, but rather concern about interfering with local prosecutors.
Now that she’s in the Senate and on the Vice Presidential campaign trail, Harris has been outspoken on policing issues, introducing legislation to ban chokeholds, racial profiling and no-knock warrants, as well as to make lynching a federal crime. In her speech accepting the Democratic nomination, she called out systemic racism in America, naming two recent victims of police violence, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
Debbie Mesloh, Harris’ longtime adviser, said she’s not taking those positions now because she has changed her mind: The difference is that she’s now a lawmaker, not a law enforcer.
Peaceful protests against racial injustice are critical for the nation’s progress and help to keep law enforcement in check, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., said. “Nothing that we have achieved that has been about progress, in particular around civil rights, has come without a fight, and so I always am going to interpret these protests as an essential component of evolution in our country — as an essential component or mark of a real democracy,” the vice presidential nominee said during the NAACP’s national convention.
She added that protests were “necessary” as “the people’s voices must be heard, and it is often the people who must speak to get their government to do what it is supposed to do, but may not do naturally unless the people speak loudly — and obviously peacefully.”
Harris also praised the “brilliance” and “impact” of “Black Lives Matter,” which has received media praise but also come under fire for promoting left-wing stances like opposing the nuclear family. “I actually believe that ‘Black Lives Matter’ has been the most significant agent for change within the criminal justice system,” she said.
In May, Joe Biden released a statement in which he distinguished between violent and peaceful protests. “Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not,” the statement read.
Harris similarly said: “We must always defend peaceful protest and peaceful protesters. We should not confuse them with those looting and committing acts of violence, including the shooter who was arrested for murder. Make no mistake, we will not let these vigilantes and extremists derail the path to justice.”
The TRUTH is still the TRUTH! It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t fit your/her narrative!
My family and I speak from experience in re: Kriminala Harrass. The graphic article states uncontroverted:
“What, I’m Kamala, identify as a Camel, why not KCamela! What, TOO MUCH??!!”
KCamela Harris is “everything to everyone, yet nothing to anyone!, a political puppet poised with stage presence!” She’s Black- but not African-American, Asian- but not Oriental, Jamaican, Indian- but not Native-American, Hispanic, East-Indian, East-Asian, what Kanye calls a “mutt”, racially androgynous/ambiguous; will be every one of the LGBTTQQIAAP (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, ally, pansexual) letters when necessary; “phoney”, has NO morals at all; laughed when she said she smoked marijuana, yet opposed recreational pot while she convicted over 2000 people for having marijuana, but don’t ask her how she got it!; did not want independent investigations of police shootings; fake feminist, progressive, Neo-Lib, liberal for her own bought/sold ideals, yet easily denies those of others!
A pure politician in the worst moral and ethical way, she feels strongly in all ways, from for to against the gravamen of all issues, yet not a flip-floper!; will say whatever is most advantageous for that moment, will be whatever is most advantageous for that moment, will do whatever is most advantageous for that moment, and then the complete opposite the very next moment! Her run for president revealed that she could not raise funds, had no substance, no attractive political agenda, no marketable qualities for even lobbyist to sell/invest in; ran on the sympathy of being “black, woman, minority”, the “protection” it offered, wherever it’s politically advantageous; commodifying, merchandising, commercializing the current Black Lives Matter dissent movement, pandering to Kleptocrats engaged in transactional justice: “pay-to-play” for rulings, orders, and decisions, in connivance with judicial, political, law enforcement, governmental and legal entities, and their assorted group of “bag men”, lobbyist, agents, upper class donors, political handlers, strategist, influence peddlers, well-connected law firms, special interest groups, corporate controllers, judicial and legal systems corruption incubators such as the Inn of Courts and noted Law Firms Keker Van Nest, Myers Nave, Ropers Majeski, acting as Judge mills transactionally buying and selling judicial appointments and decisions, as political “King Makers” to maintain and regulate legislative power, control and authority over laws and enforcement thereof!; while she also faced scrutiny among progressives – pledging to avoid big-money donors and special interests in their fundraising; as minorities criticized her for not taking a tougher stance on racism in the legal system and police brutality: furthering policies that disproportionately harm Black and Latino defendants!
None of the marijuana convictions Harris’ office secured are still on the books. Her successor as DA, George Gascón, expunged all 9,300 of the city’s marijuana convictions going back to 1975.
As Attorney General of California, she was a huge advocate of truancy laws that charged parents a fee for their children being truant and locking the parent up if they could not pay the fee. A Medium.com article from June ripped into Harris, “Kamala Harris’ career was built on both the slave labor of black and brown prisoners and also the pettiness of truancy laws that separated poor and mostly black mothers from their children. Harris was so proud of her history with taking mothers from their children that she used it as her signature campaign agenda while running for AG.”

Recently multiple women accused Mr. Biden of inappropriately touching them, including one Nevada politician who said the former vice president came up to her at a 2014 campaign stop and kissed the back of her head. This encouraged Mr Biden to release a video addressing the allegations against him.
Then Tara Reade, a former aide to Mr Biden, came forward about allegations of sexual assault when he was a US senator, all of which he has vehemently denied. “I believe them, and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it,” Harris said.
Harris, was asked about the allegations, saying Ms. Reade “has a right to tell her story”. “And I believe that and I believe Joe Biden believes that, too,” she said on the San Francisco Chronicle podcast.
Critics indicted her for over-aggressive jailing of pot users and lambasted her as a hypocrite for her record as a prosecutor on marijuana arrests years before she joked about HER OWN Marijuana Use during a recent interview on The Breakfast Club as she sought the party’s nomination. She NEVER elaborated on her illegal use of drugs, how long she used it, if she still uses it, how she obtained it, just saying she now supports legalizing the drug.
But Harris’ history of prosecuting marijuana cases as San Francisco district attorney is more nuanced than those debate-stage confrontations indicate, according to new data obtained by the Bay Area News Group and interviews with more than a dozen former prosecutors, defense attorneys, criminal justice experts and activists who’ve been following her career.
Harris oversaw more than 1,900 marijuana convictions in San Francisco, previously unreported records from the DA’s office show. Her prosecutors appear to have convicted people on marijuana charges at a higher rate than under her predecessor, based on data about marijuana arrests in the city.
She actively fought a ballot measure for recreational pot in 2010, co-authoring an opposition argument in the voter guide, and stayed on the sidelines when a second ballot initiative passed in 2016.
When it came to the fight for legalization, “she was nowhere, zilch, nada, no help,” said Tom Ammiano, a former San Francisco supervisor and assemblyman who has endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders for president. “Like a lot of candidates for a lot of offices, she’s come to Jesus on the issue. But it does leave a bad taste in your mouth about how sincere or how authentic she is.”
None of the marijuana convictions Harris’ office secured are still on the books. Her successor as DA, George Gascón, moved earlier this year to expunge all 9,300 of the city’s marijuana convictions going back to 1975.
Harris’s Medicare for All proposal was convoluted to established policy analysts examining it on paper — and sounded utterly incomprehensible with them describing it as mind-boggling, middle-ground policy, versus those like Mr Biden who wanted to expand on the Affordable Care Act.
“Well, my response is that the senator has had several plans so far. And any time someone tells you you’re going to get something good in 10 years, you should wonder why it takes 10 years,” Biden said.
“If you noticed, there is no talk about the fact that the plan in 10 years will cost $3 trillion. You will lose your employer-based insurance. And in fact, you know, this is the single most important issue facing the public.”
Harris blasted Biden for praising two Senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation.
Harris said “but I also believe — and it’s personal, and I was actually very — it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country.”
Biden said that he had been caught off guard by Kamala’s comments. “I was prepared for them to come after me, but I wasn’t prepared for the person coming at me the way she came at me”
Well-connected law firms and interest groups and the donor class supported her rise from San Francisco district attorney to senator. She also faced scrutiny among progressives – pledging to avoid big-money donors and special interests in their fundraising as proven by her income increase from $145,000 to $1.9 million last year!
SO, ARE WE SUPPOSSED TO DISAVOW OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THESE ISSUES MERELY BECAUSE HARRIS IS “MAYBE BLACK- DEPENDING ON THE ADVANTAGES” AND GIVE HER A PASS???!!! I THINK NOT!!
