Kamala Harris, a descendant of notorious 19th-century slave owner Hamilton Brown, is being asked to apologize to the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) for comparing police work to slavery.
“When we say that America has a history of systemic racism, we mean that from slavery, Jim Crow laws, lynchings, and policing, our institutions have done violence to black Americans,” said Harris, whose parents are Indian and Afro-Caribbean—although her Marxist father has European as well as African antecedents.
“Kamala Harris has shown once again that she simply has no actual knowledge of what modern American police officers do, and worse, doesn’t seem to even care for the men and women who put their life on the line to protect American communities,” said NAPO president Michael McHale.
“We call on her to retract and apologize for her comments equating policing to lynching and slavery. She has yet to explain her support for defunding the police and, even worse, her support for the so-called ‘Minnesota Freedom Fund’ that put persons arrested for violent crimes back on the streets as Minneapolis burned during the George Floyd riots,” he added.
Harris made the comments in 2020, around the time of her failed run for the Democratic nomination. She supported the defund the police movement during this period and a “day one” ban on fracking, among other far-left policies she is now downplaying.
The Vice President did not only attack the police during her earlier career. As an ultra-liberal California Senator, she once compared the work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the crimes of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
