Kamala Harris on defunding police in 2020, moving resources from police to other things

Jul 22, 2024 | Kamala Harris, Police

People remember how Kamala Harris urged people to donate to the MN Freedom Fund on June 1, 2020, to help bail out the George Floyd rioters. Harris strongly supported removing funds from police and moving the funds to welfare, housing, health care, and other benefits.

Kamala Harris on ABC (June 8, 2020) claimed: “we have confused the idea that to achieve safety you put more cops on the street instead of understanding to achieve safe and healthy communities you put more resources into the public education system of those communities into affordable housing and to home ownership into access to capital for small businesses access to health care regardless of how much money people have that’s how you achieve safe and healthy communities and so we really do need to understand and reimagine what and how we can actually make and help make communities safe.”

Kamala Harris in Michigan (September 22, 2020) said: “Let’s talk about America’s failure when it comes to understanding how you create safe communities. And by that I mean this. It is outdated, it is wrongheaded thinking to think that the only way you’re going to get communities to be safe is to put more police officers on the street. What we have to do and what we will do is reimagine public safety. In the way that you understand you want a safe community, you have to invest in the health and wellbeing of that community..”
