Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

When you say cop… i see she worked as District Attorney, and the Wikipedia doesn’t really list anything that seems wildly objectionable? Of course, some will hate everything even remotely cop-adjacent…
She has a long history as a DA of siding with the cops and doing a lot of things to expand their power and influence as well as locking up a ton of people, predominantly minorities, for minor offenses, etc.
Basically she fucked over poor people to boost her career when she had ample opportunity to be a champion of the people instead. She's proven that her loyalty lies with the oligarchy and not the people.
Hmm, the Wiki does say say her office prosecuted a higher amount of weed crimes, but also that they weren’t for mere posession. She was tough on gun crime and also created a hate crimes unit focusing on LGBT-related hatecrimes. And also that she’s opposed to the death penalty, and that she actively went after truancy.
Any of those can probably be argued to be good or bad, depending on how they were applied. I can certainly see the combo of anti-truancy and anti-gun crime as policies that might disproportionately hit minorities. Not to mention that weed simply shouldn’t be illegal anyways.
Still, all of it’s hypothetical for now. We’ll see what happens the next few days…
