This is too funny. This skid row activist really put Garcetti on blast and called him out.

Funny in the video, Garcetti standing there and is nodding his head like he's agreeing with him.

Skid Row has been in the epitome of Los Angeles leadership’s policy failures for decades. It doesn’t matter which administrator sits in the mayor’s office. Skid Row is constantly overlooked as the people live in some of the worst conditions in America.
Current mayor and potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Eric Garcetti tried to give an award to Steve Richardson, better known as General Dogon. The organizer of the Los Angeles Community Action Network accepted the award, then proceeded to rip it up in the Mayor’s face:


This award is just like the mayor and his cronies: it’s worthless,” said General Dogon, an organizer with the Los Angeles Community Action Network (LACAN), as he tore a commendation from Garcetti in half.


“For the last 16 years, you’ve been in leadership of City Council,” he continued to chide Garcetti, who served as a councilmember from 2001 until taking office as Mayor in 2013. “You have directly criminalized Skid Row, and I cannot accept this.”

Major back handed reality check for Garcetti. Well not really, he doesn't care who he's screwing over.

At some point residents need to realize the only ones who can make their neighborhood better is themselves instead of expecting someone to magically do it for them. It’s like the illegal idiots who were screaming at pelosi during her conference.

Lulz of the day. I want to see that on the TV news. Show the mayor for the ineffectual fraud he is.

The local news won't cover it of course since Garcetti has them in his pocket .

And vice versa. He is definitely someone who is a part of the media elite, lived in their neighborhoods, went to their schools, and lives in their protective bubble. They speak each other's language.

Local TV news has ignored City Hall for many years, as per the wishes of the consultants, and with stations sharing newsrooms there is less competition to force anyone to do anything better.
