Senator Amy Klobuchar swept into office in 2007 as a former tough prosecutor, boasting of how she had reduced crime in the biggest county in Minnesota. But as protests over George Floyd’s death in police custody bring chaos and violence to Minneapolis, her seven-year record as prosecutor there is facing renewed scrutiny as she prepares to be vetted as a leading vice-presidential contender.

With a police force in Minneapolis that has long faced accusations of racism and complaints of abuse, Ms. Klobuchar declined to bring charges against multiple police officers who were involved in shootings during her seven-year tenure. Instead she often opted to send cases to a grand jury, a common practice at the time but one that some law enforcement experts say favors police officers.

In October 2006, Derrick Chauvin, the same officer who knelt on Mr. Floyd’s neck for more than seven minutes as he complained he could not breathe, was one of six officers involved in the shooting of a man who had stabbed multiple people before turning on the police. Ms. Klobuchar, weeks away from being elected to the Senate, was still the prosecutor, but the case wasn’t heard until after she took the oath of office in Washington.

6. I Don't Understand The Val Deming Preference Folks Have Over Harris Who Has More Experience

Harris has also demonstrated excellent communication and debate skills and her questioning of congressional witnesses is something to behold. And I really don't understand the calls for Abrams who has never held a state wide elected office and has no Washington experience at all.

5. She was my first choice for VP

But I can move on if this disqualifies her. We don't need any distractions leading up to the election.
Kamala now moves into my #1 spot.
