I don’t get the down votes. The article say it’s a label. She didn’t hold a position of a cop. I feel it’s a valid question. Is a DA (District Attorney) a cop?
Absolutely not. They are a legal officer, which is very different from law enforcement. They work at separate parts of the legal process with very different goals.
DA’s get stuck trying to clean up the trampling of rights by actual cops.
I guess a da according to Wikipedia is the chief prosecutor or chief law enforcement representative. But that is only for court, the da doesn’t arrest people or do traffic stops.

Exactly. A lot of people just love circlejerking that literally everyone in the justice system is a cop
