From Fox News: Vice President Harris’ record of backing a bail fund for Black Lives Matter convicted protesters is at the forefront of law enforcement minds as she attempts to paint herself as a law-and-order candidate.
“Let’s be clear about something: If Kamala Harris becomes the next president of the United States, she will be an unmitigated disaster for public safety in this country,” Joe Gamaldi, the national vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police and an active Houston Police Department lieutenant, told Fox News Digital.
“She has loudly and proudly supported bail reform and has even donated and encouraged other people to donate to a fund that helped get murderers, rapists, people who were shooting people in the streets, out on bail,” he said. “We’re not talking about helping bail out the mom who stole a candy bar from the store to help feed her kids; we’re talking about violent criminals.”
Gamaldi said bail reform has not worked in “any urban community.”
Gamaldi explained, “It is what has led to 16 American cities experiencing the highest murder rate in recorded history back in 2020-2021,” he said. “And we’re still living with the fallout of that.
“Over the last three years in the United States, we’ve averaged over 20,000 homicides a year, and we haven’t seen those numbers since the mid 1990s. And now we’re going to have Vice President Harris, who is the presumptive nominee at this point, is going to run on a platform of supporting bail reform after seeing the horrific consequences we’ve seen in our urban communities,” he warned.
WATCH:
The violent protests and rioting by a mob of thousands of pro-Hamas activists in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday just proved Gamaldi’s words.
His organization shared a video of the chaos, and wrote, “Nothing to see here. Dragging police officers, burning flags, and vandalizing public property is peaceful… 2020 all over again, except this time we have fewer officers… no help from @Interior…”

Brandon Tatum, a former police officer, also shared a video of the violent riot and warned, “Capitol police officer gets dragged by anti-Israel rioter in DC. Remember the left and media don’t care if you act like this as long as you got the right politics.”
