Kamala Harris’ Career Of Releasing Murderers And Drug Dealers Proves She Won’t Be ‘Tough On Crime’
Harris’ disastrous policies as the San Francisco district attorney increased crime, freed murderers, and cost lives.
Kamala Devi Harris often points to her time as a prosecutor to prove she is a tough-on-crime champion of public safety. And since she is so proud of her record, if elected president, she will try to implement the same policies she tried before. But the truth is that her disastrous policies as the San Francisco district attorney (DA) increased crime, freed murderers, and cost lives.
Harris oversaw crime in San Francisco as DA from 2004 to 2010. In her first year, San Francisco saw the violent crime rate increase
19 percent, an upward trend that continued for much of her reign. Her policies, implemented and proposed, drew criticism from longtime law enforcement experts.
Hammer mentioned Dwayne Reed, who, with six previous felony convictions, took a
plea bargain to serve just five years for his part in the murder of a man, in exchange for his testimony against the other murderer. Under Harris’ direction, Reed was released just two days after testifying. Just eight months later, Hammer wrote, Reed
murdered another man in another county and was convicted and finally sentenced to life in prison.
Scott McAlpin, a longtime domestic violence
offender, got a plea deal that got him out of prison in less than a year. A few months after his release, he murdered Anastasia Melnitchenko, “the woman he had repeatedly terrorized, ultimately dumping her body in a car trunk,” Hammer related.
