LAPD Ends Harris Protection Amid Backlash Over Resources
Imagine a former important person who used to have bodyguards.
The old bodyguards aren't protecting her anymore.
For a short time, the police helped protect her.
But some people at the police station thought this wasn't a good idea because it took officers away from other important jobs.
So, the police stopped helping.
Now, the former important person needs to find a new way to stay safe, maybe by hiring private security.
LAPD ended its temporary protection detail for Kamala Harris.
The move followed President Trump revoking Harris' Secret Service protection.
LAPD officers were initially stationed to support the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
The LAPD's union criticized the deployment, citing resource strain.
Harris now needs to secure private security.
