"That is not okay, that is not okay for him to do that," said Veronica Perez who went on to say "Brentwood is not racist, it's beautiful and we don't support that!"
Harvey took to social media Thursday and said, "Last night I was so pissed off I had a dummy from Halloween hanging by a noose so I made a cardboard sign, put it around it's neck that said, 'Sleepy Joe (Cheater)' on my second story roof.
Police said the Contra Costa District Attorney said the display was not criminal on the basis of offensive expression being protected under the first amendment.

"It's not like he's trying to pretend that it's just Joe Biden, why didn't he put a white doll with Joe Biden on it? Why did it have to be a black person?" said Corena Diaz who protested outside Harvey's house Thursday night.
Police say the homeowner agreed to take the mannequin down.
Though the incident is not considered criminal, the investigation has now been forwarded to the U.S. Secret Service, Brentwood police said.
