ICYMI: ‘Kamala Harris’ dream of stopping cops responding to 911 calls resurfaces’

August 22, 2024

Daily Mail: "Vice President Kamala Harris once promoted the idea where police officers were no longer needed as first responders in American communities, in a surprisingly naive assessment of law enforcement considering her background.

 

In June 2019, then-Senator Kamala Harris appeared at the Poor People’s Campaign Forum as a presidential candidate in the Democratic primary where she was asked about demilitarizing police departments across the country.

 

But Harris appeared interested in taking police departments out of the business of responding to public calls for help such as 911 first response.

 

‘[W]e really need to get to a point where communities frankly don’t need, don’t need a law enforcement response to what’s happening in their communities because they are safe communities,’ Harris said."
