Me thinks the headline should read: LA Sheriff grandstanding with possible political ambitions in mind. Sitting around one's home while cherry-picking through the latest right wing news articles and then bringing said articles to the forum--like a dog fetching his masters slippers, gets old. In the meantime all the Sheriff's supporters should ante up--with all they got..
And there's this:
— Members of the Los Angeles County police watchdog group on Thursday called for Sheriff Alex Villanueva’s resignation over his department’s lack of transparency on fatal police shootings and other issues, marking the latest escalation in a power struggle between county officials and the increasingly combative law enforcement leader.
Villanueva has repeatedly clashed with the LA County Civilian Oversight Commission and the county Board of Supervisors over budgetary issues, the availability of officer-worn cameras and over the sheriff’s decision to rehire officers who were previously fired for misconduct.
When you have public power and you stand up and stomp your feet about how bad police are and a black person can't go out without risking their life, then you should at least acknowledge it when two officers are sitting in their car and someone comes up and attempts to assassinate them - IN YOUR CITY.
Contributing to a reward should not be hard to justify, since your comments might very well have lead to the assassination attempt.
Weird how people on the right always demand someone famous on the left do les their bidding “or else...” lmao.
On the right? Sheriff Villanueva swept into office defeating a one term reform minded Sheriff
McDonald on the dual issues of having a Hispanic name and vowing to never turn over released detainees from the county jails to ICE
Hypocrites like LBJ are the first to call the cops if something goes wrong. As mentioned before, who was it that uncovered a gang that was targeting the homes of the rich and famous and arrested them? The LAPD, the same group that LBJ makes inflammatory statements about. And who then hired personal security detail to protect his mansion, including several off duty police officers? Yup, none other than LBJ himself. What was that saying, police for me, but not for thee?
LBJ is the worst kind of person, the kind that picks and chooses whatever cause he thinks will make him look good in the eyes of the mob, yet ultimately doesn't truly care about anyone or anything but himself. It's no surprise he's one of the worst tippers among professional athletes, you can truly tell the character of a person in how he treats those 'beneath' them. And it doesn't matter what race LBJ is, he could be White, he could be Asian, whatever, he's just not a nice person, period.
Compare someone like LBJ with someone like Tyler Perry. Perry himself had an issue with police eight years ago when he believed he was racially profiled by them. Yet, Perry was troubled by the thought of defunding police, and he donated gift cards to police to distribute to local citizens to help bridge the gap between them.
