‘Thread that needle’: Kamala Harris’ criminal justice policies in California angered progressives and police

From the article:

Throughout her tenure as district attorney, Harris focused on securing convictions. Felony conviction rates rose from 52% to 71%, and gun crime convictions rose to 92% in the first five years she was in office, according to her book.

She also increased convictions for drug sellers, from 56% in 2003 to 74% in 2008, Harris noted. At the same time, Harris also implemented the Back on Track program, which provided nonviolent offenders — many of whom were low-level drug dealers — with the chance to receive a high school diploma, job training and access to available work, instead of prison sentences.

So putting aside from the click-baity title and a small number of contentious cases, she cracked down on gun crime and implemented a program for imprisoned drug dealers so they had the possibility of turning their lives around when they got out. That's not too bad.

Pushing the Democrats to the left again, are we, OP? Sometimes it’s just about introducing the right types of topics into the discussion.

Anyone else remember the time where she helped kill a bill that would require cops where a body cam?
