About that "being a cop"

good article about her prosecutorial career

“It is obviously true that Kamala Harris was a prosecutor. Sending people to prison is quite literally in the job description. But she was not “tough on crime” — she was smart on crime, before it was the politically savvy stance to be that way.
She created the Back on Track program as a D.A., which reduced recidivism and wiped the record clean for successful members, and expanded it as Attorney General. Other counties emulated the program and it was eventually expanded into a state-wide law. Kamala also established the California Division of Recidivism Reduction and Re-Entry.”
