As Democrats should be well aware, the presumption of innocence is considered by most to be a basic human right. Just ask the United Nations.

The pervasive and historic presumption of guilt by law enforcement of African-Americans, in particular black youths, has endangered, incarcerated and disadvantaged generations of American families for centuries.
