So let's get this straight: deputies approached and confronted a security guard at work -- a man w/ a spotless record and no reason to be suspected of anything -- and shot him dead in cold blood.
These men need to be arrested and the LA Sheriff's Department needs to be defunded https://twitter.com/EricWasserman1/status/1273871899202748417

The LASD are murdering 18-year old kids working two jobs trying to survive. They did this the day after they killed Robert Fuller's brother under murky circumstances. The week after they declared Robert Fuller was a suicide. This is an evil corrupt department and always has been.
Reminder that the LA Sheriff's not only hired killer cop, Francis Hardiman, after the dead man's widow said they murdered him because he was a Latino.
That same killer cop currently makes $200K a year + benefits to target and attempt to destroy Drakeo. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-04-13-cb-54167-story.html

Speaks volumes about the LA Sheriff's Department that even at a time when they're under intense scrutiny for their bloody and brutal ways, they still can't avoid killing.
It's impossible to know where to begin with the criminal malevolence in the Sheriff's Department.
This is just from last month, where Sheriff Villanueva defied a subpoena from an oversight commission to testify about a Coronavirus epidemic in the jails. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-05-20/l-a-county-sheriff-will-defy-subpoena-from-oversight-commission-to-testify-about-jail-conditions

The Sheriff's have only had a civilian oversight committee since 2016! And it was only after corruption and brutality in the jails led to multiple indictments of sheriff’s deputies. They are an unaccountable murderous para-military gang that patrol the whole county. It's insanity
If Eric Garcetti had an ounce of soul or sense, he would insist the Sheriff's & D.A. stop using gang enhancements to fuel mass incarceration of black and brown people -- not least because the Sheriff's are literally under investigation by the FBI for all the gangs in their ranks!
I watched a judge try to give Drakeo six years for a non-violent gun possession charge, doubling the sentence because of a juvenile strike he got at 16 for stealing a bottle of liquor from a Ralph's. The Sheriff's deputies were all there laughing. To watch it firsthand is madness
I appreciate the people in my mentions talking about how they can't wait for the Body Cam footage. Well, it doesn't exist. The Sheriff's have fought tooth and nail to avoid having to wear body cam's and won't start until at least the fall. The most corrupt https://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-sheriff-body-cameras-20180731-story.html
Now the LA Sheriff is blocking the public from learning the autopsy findings in the Andres Guardado case. They still won't tell anyone how or why it happened, & they've shot protesters w/ tear gas & non-lethal weapons.
This should be a national outrage. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-22/sheriff-asks-state-to-monitor-gardena-shooting-but-puts-hold-on-autopsy-findings
