Luckily we don’t have to put up with this misinformation again.
I will repeat myself one last time.
She had a record number of convictions for cannabis. She had the lowest number of convictions resulting in jail time.
She went after banks that affected her district. They did not like that one bit.
There’s a bunch more stuff. But this is plainly a shitty attempt at painting Harris supporters as relying on some form of cognitive dissonance.
another 100% truthful post from return2ozma
ITT: people who don’t know what “cop” means
Edit: prosecutors are cops, judges are cops, spooks are cops, etc
But usually only cops practice street justice with no due process or consequences. Never saw a prosecutor suffocate someone to death for being accused of a petty crime or shoot a kid for holding a toy.
Cops are to prosecutors as worker bees are to their queen. Cops take their marching orders from prosecutors. If ACAB, it is because prosecutors want them to be.
To be fair, Harris had a contentious relationship with cops, when–IIRC–she didn’t pursue the death penalty for a cop killer.
Prosecutors have to work with police, but aren’t police. Prosecutors want to win, because that’s how they get elected. When cops do dumb, illegal shit, prosecutors get pissed because then they can’t win a case. Cops usually blame prosecutors for not locking everyone up. Prosecutors get pissed at cops, because cops botch investigations and make stupid, illegal arrests.
Of the two, I have much more respect for prosecutors. Prosecutors are often very good attorneys (in their field).
To reiterate a point: district attorney are elected. The public expects them to win cases. When they don’t, even if it’s because cops are handing them steaming piles of garbage, they tend to lose their jobs. Shitty, but true. We may say ACAB, but when it comes down to it, a prosecutor that refuses to, for instance, prosecute certain low-level crimes will tend to get voted out of office because it pisses off the constituents.

unless it’s US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, then Republicans can just say no to whatever we vote for.
Fair enough.
I don’t really think that D.C. should be a state, but I think that it should have more autonomy for the administration of the city than it has.
Puerto Rico needs it more than we do but Republicans annually propose a removal of our voting rights.
They genuinely want to see DC burn.
That’s because back the blue is just a more polite way to say the 14 words
Wait I don’t get this one. What’s the 14 words? I’m an elder millennial and sometimes I miss the new slang.
Edit thanks for the quick answers.
I remember seeing some wild story in 2020 about someone getting banned from some game because their name was something like corona1488 but corona was their last name and Jan 4th 1988 was their birthday. I think they were able to get it fixed and maybe they changed their in game name too.
I don’t remember the exact words off the top of my head and too lazy to look it up, but it’s a neonazi dog whistle. Something about ‘protecting the future of the white children’
It’s not even a dog whistle. It’s deafening.
You are not too old, you are just not hanging around the right people.
These 14 words don’t really have the “punchy” characteristic I’d expect from a slogan.
Haha that failed swatiska!
Yeah, and they only remembered 11 words (poorly). I don’t expect more from Nazi vandals, which is why I drew it that way.
Emphasis on right
It’s a Nazi thing I am pretty sure
The 14 words part Is adequately explained below, but in case you are unfamiliar as well, often 14 will be used in conjunction with the number 88 as well for HH or Heil Hitler.
I’m also an elder millennial and I learned about it from the incredible podcast “Weird Little Guys”. I cannot recommend it enough. Such a good show.
Oh look, Cool Zone Media
I listen to a lot of their shows, and I think “Weird Little Guys” is the best of them. And I just love “Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff”. But Molly Conger is just so good. The music is perfect, the narration is good, the stories… umm suck but they are important to know about, it is funny, I’ve cried multiple times, etc. “Weird Little Guys” just is so fucking good.
“Fuck it, I do not care how big the room is, I cast fireball?”
Can I wake up now? I just want to wake up.
I’ve always liked this meme format, and this is one of the best uses of it I’ve seen.
what crazy times we live in!
Hilarious
Well, I had a sensible chuckle at least.
As long as you kept it civil.
Doing my part to tone down the rhetoric!
Does anyone actually consider a prosecutor a cop?
They are law enforcement officers yes.
They arent an officer though. They are basically an attorney that represents the government in a criminal case. They are the ones that decide rather or not to persue criminal charges to present to the court.
She literally calls herself the “Top Cop”…

I call myself Robocop. Does that make me a police officer, too?
Kamala Harris Has Finally Embraced Being a Cop
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/kamala-harris-has-finally-embraced-being-a-cop.html
“You need to know the difference between cop and prosecutor, stupid progressives.”
She literally calls herself a cop personally and branding
I’m progressive, so your weird quote is even weirder.
I never think lawyer when I hear ACAB. I do think “fuck lawyers” all the time, but rarely towards public servants (I mostly dislike corporate and greedy defense attorneys)
Are ya’ll just lumping them together out of convenience of disliking both, or do ya’ll really not understand the difference between a lawyer and a cop?
If she calls herself a cop, despite not being a cop, I can call her a cop.
Is she one? No. But it’s weird that when she uses it in her branding, and people use that branding at critcism, we’re the naive idealists for saying “Cops aren’t going to solve fascism.”
A label.
Who has she arrested/beaten/killed?
I don’t get the down votes. The article say it’s a label. She didn’t hold a position of a cop. I feel it’s a valid question. Is a DA (District Attorney) a cop?
Edit words
Absolutely not. They are a legal officer, which is very different from law enforcement. They work at separate parts of the legal process with very different goals.
DA’s get stuck trying to clean up the trampling of rights by actual cops.
https://lemmy.world/comment/13282455
I guess a da according to Wikipedia is the chief prosecutor or chief law enforcement representative. But that is only for court, the da doesn’t arrest people or do traffic stops.
ROBO WANT AN OREO.
No, police requires minimal education and training. Prosecutor is a lawyer, doesn’t carry a gun or shoot innocent people.
They only lie, hide evidence, and cover for the cops to put people in jail. But yeah you’re right, the education makes all the difference! (Let’s forget that cops in other countries get a metric fuckton more education and they aren’t all that different). Both serve mostly to protect the state and ruling class’s interests.
Shhh, people don’t like it when you point out that DAs and prosecutors enforce the state’s monopoly on violence. That’s far too much thinking.
But they’re educated though 💅
Do you not??
No, legal professionals are very different than law enforcement
“Where’d you learn that, drug school?”
chief law enforcement officer representing … an area
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_attorney
Well there you go…
I definitely wouldn’t. A cop is a cop and attorney is an attorney.
I might consider them worse actually
Easily more influential. Broader scope, that’s for sure, and in a strong position to either amplify or counteract the typical “cop bullshit”, depending on their choices.
ETA: don’t think many of them work very hard at the “counteracting” side. To put it mildly.
I guess you consider court clerks cops, too. And the reception workers. And the maintenance workers, right?
Lawyers are not cops. Lawyers have their own issues, but different from cops and not at all the same thing lmao
That prosecutor wants to legalize marijuana…
Wait, I thought she needed Congress to do that? Is she making a promise that the Senate needs to be filled to do?
Not really… the congress passed a law that created classifications for controlled substances and the initial listings (which cannabis wasnt apart of). But congress granted power to both to the DEA and FDA to schedule additional drugs. The DEA is currently considered moving cannabis from a schedule 1 to a schedule 3 already. But Harris could order the DEA to consider descheduling it.
So can Biden legalize it?
