The psychopathy of LAPD is costing us millions but nobody in power wants to do anything about it

For years, people held in Men’s Central Jail have endured mold, vermin, violence and preventable deaths. Now the DOJ is investigating whether conditions violate their constitutional rights.
Accountability is long overdue.

The LA Co. Board of Supervisors delayed voting on a motion that would force the Sheriff's Dept to name deputy gangs within its ranks on Tuesday.
The move came in front of about 30 uniformed personnel who filled the meeting's gallery.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved about $3 million in settlements related to the Sheriff's Department in August of 2026.
I broke down how the funds paid out: a lieutenant DUI, a deputy accused of s*xual abuse, and more.

I’m here outside of the LA Co Board of Supervisors mtg where a motion on deputy gangs is being heard.
If passed, the motion directs LA Sheriff Robert Luna to work w/ the Civilian Oversight Commission, Inspector General & County Counsel to identify & name deputy gangs inside LASD

Five people have the opportunity to stop shoveling billions in taxpayer dollars to a department that regularly costs us millions in settlements every month.

The LA County Supervisors approved just under $3m in settlements stemming from LASD personnel in August. Incidents include a lieutenant driving drunk and a deputy sexually exploiting a disabled woman.

Unhoused people are most commonly booked for a top charge of trespassing — a charge frequently used to criminalize people for having nowhere else to go.
Guess what would solve that? Housing, not jail.

MYTH: Some people need to go to jail to get treatment
REALITY: Most people in local jails have substance use disorders, yet only a tiny fraction of jails provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder.
Jails are designed for punishment, not care.

After nationwide criticism, @NathanHochmanDA downgraded all 16 charges against a LAPD whistleblower.
If diversion is good enough to bail out the DA’s office, it’s good enough for mentally ill Angelenos who should be getting treatment.

1. Public defenders see the conditions our clients are forced to endure in LA jails.
At Century Regional Detention Facility, incarcerated women have reported brown foul smelling water, bugs coming from drains, mold, broken plumbing and even worm-like bugs in drinking water.

Diversion saved @NathanHochmanDA 's office from a scandal. Why won't he let it save mentally ill Angelenos too? #LAPD

LASD Gangs have run rampant for decades with zero accountability from the Sheriff’s Department or the DA.
Thank you @HollyJMitchell for starting a process that should have completed years ago. #GoogleLASDGangs
#BREAKING: LA Supervisor @HollyJMitchell has written a motion directing the LA County Sheriff's Dept to identify deputy gangs within its ranks.
If passed, the names of the gangs could be made public as soon as next year.

LA County women’s jail under scrutiny over brown water, bugs and broken plumbing
A recent report details worms in drinking water, brown water from faucets, pests crawling from drains, mold and plumbing failures at LA County’s only jail for women.

This week the Sheriff’s department was handed even *more* county tax dollars on top of the BILLIONS they get every year. When will @LACountyBOS stop using community money to fund @LASDHQ’s deadly neglect and abuse?

New from me: Deputies who are part of the Industry Indians deputy gang beat up Joseph Perez in 2020. Months later, as he sat in jail, those same deputies assaulted a group of teens at a bowling alley.
Joseph’s mother is asking Sheriff Luna to fire them.
