There are many examples of truly progressive prosecutors: @SAKimFoxx @Rollins4DA @DALarryKrasner @Bell4STL @ScottColom @kimoggforda Eric Gonzalez in Brooklyn, John Creuzot in Dallas. And more. @KamalaHarris is not in that group.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/17/opinion/kamala-harris-criminal-justice.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage …
I agree in fact. But who would your examples be from the era when she was actually a D.A.? You’ve compared the new era of prosecutors to a previous era when we weren’t even using the phrase “progressive prosecutor”

Brooklyn DA Ken Thompson, who died tragically at age 50, exonerated 23 people starting in 2013 after running on a platform of racial justice and reform. Dallas DA Craig Watkins started a conviction review unit in 2007--more than 25 ppl exonerated. Just two examples.

@shaunking she was also the Attorney General - an office where she had the opportunity to make real systemic changes. She didn’t. She defended corrupt prosecutors and fought to keep innocent people in prison on technicalities.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Oh cool, so she engaged in systematic racial discrimination and due process violations in the "old" era, so totally cool.
