Democratic Maricopa County Attorney candidate supported by Soros-funded group, pushes back on cops

 In a close race for the Maricopa County Attorney’s office, the Democratic candidate is supported by a group funded by progressive megadonor George Soros and promotes clamping down on police.

Tamika Wooten, the Democratic candidate who is running against Republican incumbent Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell, has said she would push back on police officers by withholding pay from them if they do not have their body cameras on.

The Maricopa County attorney’s office is one of the largest prosecutor’s offices in the U.S. with more than 1,000 employees and over 30,000 criminal cases prosecuted annually.

Let's protect all of our victims, let’s protect our citizens.

Wooten also said during the Maricopa County Young Democrats meeting that if she is elected county attorney, then police officers’ testimony might be thrown out if they didn’t have their body camera on and they could be docked pay from their shift if their body camera is not on.

[As] county attorney, I'm not going to allow racial profiling for stops,” she continued.

“DOJ consent decrees do not yield better outcomes or safer communities.
