LAPD Stops Security for Kamala Harris Following Union Backlash
A recent report indicates that the Los Angeles Police Department’s specialized units have ceased providing security for former Vice President Kamala Harris. Initially, the LAPD Metropolitan Division had stepped in to secure Harris due to a shift in security details after former President Donald Trump withdrew those protections. However, this arrangement faced significant pushback from the LAPD union, the Los Angeles Police Protection League, which deemed it unreasonable and argued that taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for such an expense.
