WHO'S LOCKED UP MORE BLACK MEN?

Black men have a problem with Sen. Kamala Harris.
Before Harris became a senator, she was California’s attorney general, and before that, she served as district attorney of San Francisco. In both positions, her tenure and actions directly affected Black men. I’ve even heard people say that a Biden-Harris ticket would be worse for leading criminal justice reform than the current Trump-Pence administration.

Only around criminal justice reform. Only during the horrendous murders of Black men witnessed on social media. Only around criminality and murder, not about family or education or jobs. What does that signal to us unconsciously? How does that make the Black man seen and heard in the political process?

During her time as San Francisco’s district attorney, the conviction rate jumped from 52% to 67%. From 2002–2005, during her tenure, Black people made up less than 8% of the city’s population but accounted for over 40% of its police arrests.

Then-Attorney General Harris openly defied U.S. Supreme Court orders to reduce overcrowding in California prisons and argued against expanding an early parole program in court, saying that it would deplete their stock of prison labor, especially inmates who fight wildfires.

As chairman of the Judiciary Committee, then-Sen. Joe Biden drafted the bill, known formally as the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which was billed by Democrats as a major crackdown on crime.

created 60 new death penalty offenses under 41 federal capital statutes, such as crimes related to terrorism, murder of a federal law enforcement officer and civil rights murders;
offered grants for building and expanding correctional facilities to qualifying states that enforced mandatory sentencing of 85% of an offender's sentence conviction;
called for a crackdown on gang memberships;
included a ban on federal assault weapons, a provision on community oriented policing services, and the Violence Against Women Act.
