When Kamala Harris Consider running for the governor of California, One of the considerations she considers is the safety details of participating in the state’s CEO.
Maintaining life, enhancing self-intimidation of the service of protectors – pictures of dark glasses, headphones, stern faces – cited by more than one Harris Associate (past and present) for her deliberation. These are not players or Harris haters who hope to undermine the former vice president or embarrass the former vice president.
According to one of the colleagues, Harris has been accompanied by an official driver and gun since 2003. Electioned as San Francisco District Attorney. It is easy for a person to grow to a level of comfort and status, not to mention the fun of never having to navigate in person Highway 405 during peak hours.
Of course, if this is part of Harris’s idea, it is a totally terrible and selfish reason to run for governor. What is worthy of praise is the reason She chose no running It’s a very good person: Harris simply “don’t feel” doing this job, in the words of a political consultant.
But now, Harris’s personal protection issues have become a topic of heated discussion and debate, which is not surprising in an era when everything becomes politicized, including “and” and “.”
There are a lot of malicious intentions to solve.
Last month, President Trump Harris’ Secret Service protection was suddenly revoked. Vice President’s security arrangements usually last six months after leaving the office, causing them to quietly fade into the More obscure. But before the evacuation of the White House, President Biden signed an executive order that provided Harris with another year of protection. (The former president was protected by details from the Lifetime Secret Service.)
As The first woman, the first black man and the first Asian American vice president, As they say in the protective services business, Harris faces an increase in the level of threats he takes up in the position. More than 230 days since Harris left the office, there is no reason to believe in racism and misogyny, let alone Ambitional party hatred, Suddenly it was lightened on our great land.
And there are no few Crazy enough to act fiercely On those impulses.
The president could have been the protection of the benevolent and enlarged Harris. But expecting Trump’s grace is like counting on hungry Duberman showing restraint when the bloody T-bone steak appears.
“This is a series of revenge in the form of dismissal, revoking security permits, etc., which is another act of revenge,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass angrily declared.
real.
Although the bass omits about six months of standard operating procedures, at least some background can be provided. It seems that Harris is not treated differently from his past vice president.
Gov. Gavin Newsom quickly fell into a violation, providing Harris protection By the California Highway Patrol. soon, Richard Winton, The Times Breaking the news, saying LAPD officials intend to fight crime in tough areas of New York City, but instead provide security for Harris as a supplement to the Center for Health Protection.
Not good-looking. Or better use police resources.
So there is news later Officials are removed from Harris’ security details After internal criticism; LAPD’s participation is said to have always been used as a freeze measure.
Everything was fine until the conservative LA Police Protection Alliance, which represented the senior officials, was well suited to make a pro bono tricky statement condemning the hasty arrangements. Its board described Harris as “a failed presidential candidate who happens to be a multimillionaire with multiple homes…they can easily afford their own safety.”
as if Harris’ 2024 failure – she Lost to Trump It may be noted that 1.5% is less than 1.5% – somehow related.
To be sure, Harris and her husband Attorney Doug Emhoffwon’t miss any hot rice 3,500 square feet of Brentwood home. (A house they own.) But they are not stupid either.
A person in the private security business told Winton that a household name paid $1,000 a day for 12-hour shifts. Assume your name is not Elon or Taylor or Zuckerberg or Bezos.
Putting aside partisanship (if still possible), frankly, to make sure Harris doesn’t die violently at the hands of some crazy attackers, there’s something to say.
The Center for Health Protection’s Noble Reserve is responsible for protecting all eight constitutional officials in California – we are talking about the insurance commissioner and state controllers, as well as the First Lady and other elected officials, if guaranteed. The statutory authorities also extend to former constitutional officials, including Harris He served as state attorney general for six years.
There must be a room California’s $32.1 billion budget To ensure that one of the most outstanding and proven citizens of the state doesn’t have anything terrible. This is not necessarily an open, lifelong commitment to Harris’ protection, but rather an arrangement that can be reviewed regularly, as time passes and potential dangers fade.
Working in an elected office can be tough, especially in these incitement times. Price should not include looking at the shoulder nervously all your life.
Or consume your life savings, so you don’t have to.
