    Default Cross Amy Klobuchar off the VP List

    I don't know how high she got on the list but pretty much zero chance she'll get the nod now. I'm seeing multiple black people on my Facebook feed posting this article and saying bye-bye to her.




    Amy Klobuchar didn't prosecute officer at center of George Floyd's death after previous conduct complaints


    George Floyd's death in police custody is renewing criticism of Sen. Amy Klobuchar's (D-Minn.) prosecutorial record.

    Before she became a senator and a top contender for former Vice President Joe Biden's vice presidential spot, Klobuchar spent eight years as the Hennepin County attorney, in charge of prosecution for Minneapolis. And while in that position, Klobuchar declined to prosecute multiple police officers cited for excessive force, and did not prosecute the officer who kneeled on Floyd's neck as he protested, The Guardian reports.

    Ex-Minneapolis police officer Derick Chauvin saw at least 10 conduct complaints during his 19-year tenure before he was fired Tuesday, according to a database that documents complaints against police. In particular, he was involved in the shooting death of a man who had stabbed other people before attacking police, as well as some other undisclosed complaints. Klobuchar did not prosecute Chauvin and other officers involved for the first death, which occurred in October 2006 while she was running for Senate. The case was under investigation when Klobuchar took office in the Senate in Jan. 2007, and later went to a grand jury, which declined to charge the officers. Chauvin was later placed on leave when he and other officers shot and wounded a Native American man in 2011.

    As The Washington Post noted in March, Klobuchar "declined to bring charges in more than two dozen cases in which people were killed in encounters with police" as Hennepin County attorney. Instead, she "aggressively prosecuted smaller offenses" that "have been criticized for their disproportionate effect on poor and minority communities," the Post continues. And as Klobuchar undergoes vetting to become a possible vice presidential candidate, that track record is being scrutinized and criticized once again.

    Biden can't rationalize off two dozen..

    What is Harris' record like?? Is she any better??
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    good. she could have swung some mid-west states and was a woman as well.
    Let Biden pick a black woman to shore up his base instead.

    Klobuchar could have beaten Trump

    She was and is my favorite candidate. A real pragmatist, and centrist.

    I knew she never had a real shot because of those 2 traits. It's not who we are now.

    She was written off a couple of weeks ago citing bad sentiments among African Americans. It didn't go into these guys. Unless there are some serious sensible underlying issues as to why she DID not, then, she's out.
