In this clip, @LASDHQ @LACoSheriff says athletes, elected officials and civic leaders need to emphasize trust in the criminal justice system, rather than “fanning the flames of hatred.”
In this clip, @LASDHQ @LACoSheriff says the criminal justice system is not biased, despite nationwide claims of activists + advocates.
Here, @LASDHQ @LACoSheriff accuses @josie_huang of transitioning from journalism to activism when she got close to the deputies.
