First, Kamala Harris lost her secret service protection. Now she’s losing her LAPD security.
The LAPD had been told by Mayor Karen Bass to step in and help the CHiPs protect Kamala because there’s too little crime in LA.
Now that’s getting pulled.
The Los Angeles Police Department on Saturday discontinued its protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris after heavy criticism within its own ranks that officers were being diverted from crime suppression, sources told The Times.
A dozen or more LAPD officers began working a detail to protect Harris after Trump revoked her Secret Service protection as of Monday. Sources not authorized to discuss the details of the plan said the city would fund the security but that the arrangement was expected to be brief, with Harris hiring her own security in the near future.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union that represents rank-and-file LAPD officers, criticized the move.
“Pulling police officers from protecting everyday Angelenos to protect a failed presidential candidate who also happens to be a multi-millionaire… and who can easily afford to pay for her own security, is nuts,” its board of directors said.
The statement continued, “Mayor Karen Bass should tell Governor Newsom that if he wants to curry favor with Ms. Harris and her donor base, then he should open up his own wallet because LA taxpayers should not be footing the bill for this ridiculousness.”
Does Kamala really face threats that required a dozen cops in the first place? Let’s be honest here, does anyone actually care about her? Yes, she’s a former VP and obvious future presidential candidate, but I suspect any death threats she’s getting are strictly B and C level types using Discord to send pizza to members of Congress.
I could well believe there are people out there who genuinely want to kill Obama or Hillary Clinton. But Kamala?
In 2024, the last time Kamala was relevant, the death threats listed against her were two.
One from a prisoner who also mailed death threats to just about everyone two were ‘tweets or ‘getts’ (or whatever) a guy on GETTR who also threatened Biden, Wray, Trudeau and again, just about everyone.
It’s sad because it doesn’t seem like Kamala even rated any exclusive death threats. When she’s playing second fiddle to Trudeau in death threats from America, it’s not a sign that she’s a priority for threateners.
So why is she a priority for security?
