LAPD ends protection of former Vice President Kamala Harris amid criticism over diverting cops, sources say

"Police union criticized pulling officers from protecting “everyday Angelenos” to guard a “multi-millionaire” who can afford private security."

Let me get this straight – Ivanka and Jared are getting SS protection (per the law that Biden changed), but not Harris, a former VP?

by Anonymousreply 1September 7, 2025 2:35 PM

R1 False. Ivanka and Jared do not have SS protection.

by Anonymousreply 2September 7, 2025 2:37 PM

The children of serving and past presidents are provided with SS protection until the age of 16. The grandchildren are not.

r2 False. I was right, Biden graciously extended it, but only for six months.

They didn't object to "pulling officers from protecting “everyday Angelenos". Cops don't give a shit about "everyday Angelenos"

They objected to protecting the black lady.

You want to know why I cut off my Maga and "fiscally conservative" people? Because they're all right with this kind of shit.

by Anonymousreply 6September 7, 2025 2:47 PM

The "fiscally conservative" people are also generally racist, homophobic, misogynistic as any of the open MAGA types but they just pretend they aren't and say that they are "fiscally conservative" as a cover R6. You did the right thing.

No. You were wrong.

Ivanka and Jared are NOT getting SS protection. Whatever protection they had expired a long time ago.

Are SS part of the LAPD? Why do police unions care? STFU

This thread gets dumb and dumber with each post.

It's unbelievable isn't it R10.

I'm not even American and I know more about most things American than a lot of the American posters on this site - and it has to be said - more than most Americans.

I’ll agree with you when you are R3. As R7 you’re part of the problem.

Touché R12.

You're hurting R1's narrative.

This is different from federally funded SS protection - this is local, Los Angeles police protection. I can't blame the residents for objecting to footing the bill on this (for any former elected official). I wouldn't want my city doing this. (If she reimbursed the city out of her own pocket, then that's a different story).

by Anonymousreply 15September 7, 2025 3:59 PM

Isn't her husband an extremely well-paid lawyer? Can't he afford to hire protection for her? Trump is a dick but the important thing is that she be protected &, if he won't authorize that, why should the City of L.A. take it over instead of her own family?

Political theater by the mayor.

Former VPs. their spouse, and children under 16 are provided with courtesy secret service protection for 6 months after leaving office. It's been eight months. The duration can be extended if the Director of Homeland Security feels there is a clear and present danger to that person's life, which there apparently is not.

Non story designed to rile up those afflicted with TDS

“ , which there apparently is not...for blatant policial purposes only.”

FIFY

It's highly unlikely that Harris asked for LAPD protection. I think it was Newson who originally offered to take over her protection. And Harris probably has no problem providing for her own security. She doesn't seem like the kind of person who goes around trying to get stuff for free. (Unlike a certain other individual, who need not be named).
