The woman is on-record, multiple times, defending the necessity of slavery to the economy of California. She also defended 3-strikes laws that sent (mostly black) people away for life sentences on crimes that in other contexts wouldn't even warrant jail time.
You could maybe say about some prosecutors that they are just doing the job a crooked society gave them without thinking about the social structures or whatever. Kamala has literally said 'Our state needs bodies to work for free to maintain the current economic arrangement. Most of those bodies are black because of a law that permits us to punish them more harshly than whites. Both of these things are good and correct and I will use my position to defend them.'
It is kinda funny to think that she coulda been the sneering villain in that film if DuVernay wanted to go that route, and now she's being endorsed by her, but hey. "Show me a hero and I'll how you a bum."
I'll bet you a 25 dollar donation to the bail fund of your choice that she's on record defending 3 strikes and slave labor and has a massively disproportionate record trying black and brown vs white defendants. Unless you're just being a pedant, but that's not what you're doing.
I asked for a reference for the above quote. Seeing as how you did not provide one, I'm assuming the quote itself is BS and everything you say can be safely ignored.
Two years after it was signed into law, California's controversial тАЬthree strikes and you're outтАЭ law has resulted in an imprisonment rate for African Americans that is more than 13 times that of whites, according to a new study.
Under Prop. 66, eight felonies that now count as "serious or violent" - - and thus a strike -- will no longer be classified as such.
The reclassification of these crimes is one of the reasons California's district attorneys -- including local Democrats Tom Orloff of Alameda County, Jim Fox of San Mateo County and Kamala Harris of San Francisco -- strongly oppose Prop. 66.
Totally wild, to me, to see the director of 13TH give this much of a pass to Kamala Harris.

You need to provide a reference for that quote. I can't find one and it sounds extremely made up.

As California attorney general, Kamala Harris led a team that fought to keep more people imprisoned so they could fight wildfires.
Piss off pedant. Go kiss a cop.
