COMING SOON TO A CITY NEAR YOU? As SF DA, Harris Raised the Bar for Murder Charges ‘Unbelievably High.’ So Cops Started Going around Her.

As San Francisco district attorney, Kamala Harris developed such a reputation for her unwillingness to prosecute murder cases that police regularly went around her to secure arrest warrants and would even seek out more aggressive federal prosecutors when they had a case they felt should be pursued.

Five months after Harris took office, police began taking the unprecedented step of going to judges to obtain Ramey warrants, which are issued before charges have officially been brought by a prosecutor, in order to arrest murder suspects, according to local media reports. Police also brought local murder cases to federal prosecutors to handle instead of Harris’s office. They also routinely pushed a reluctant Harris to work with grand juries to build cases and protect witnesses who may be afraid of coming forward.

Kamala was too busy focusing on infinitely more serious issues: busting pot smokers and parents of truant children.
