Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna discusses Metro fare enforcement, deputy gang crackdown

7 days ago

Earlier this week, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna announced a policy formally banning deputy gangs or cliques.

The deputy gangs, often identified by common tattoos, have been blamed for incidents of violence against Black and Hispanic residents, as well as against other deputies not affiliated with the group.

Luna sat down with Eyewitness News on Thursday to discuss the crackdown as well as other issues facing the department, such as fare enforcement on the Metro system.

To see his conversation with ABC7's Phillip Palmer, please watch the video above.

LASD does NOT have gangs. This is activist and media misinformation. LASD does have cliques, and some members of those cliques break the law (as do some outside of the cliques) and they should be handled appropriately. Police and Sheriffs need to be held to a higher bar. But calling these cliques is misguided, and any policy directed at "gangs" will be ineffective, simply because the element of "gang" is not there. Sheriff Villanueva also had a policy against gangs, I'm not sure what the difference is but I'm sure it will be equally ineffective.
