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 “three strikes and you're out” 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.

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.
