LA sheriff says he has no relationship with District Attorney, his policies ‘are not working’
Fox News
Los Angeles sheriff Alex Villanueva said he has spoken to District Attorney Eric Gascon once since he assumed office in December, and said it was a “big problem” that rioters might believe they will face no “prosecutorial consequence."
"That is definitely a legitimate concern because if there is a lack of a prosecutorial fist that might actually embolden some of our Antifa and anarchist crowd, some of the radical elements that try to hijack peaceful protest for their own personal gain," Villanueva said. "If they feel they aren't going to receive any prosecutorial consequence, that is a big problem that is something that the DA himself is going to have to answer to," he continued. Gascón served as assistant chief of police in Los Angeles in the early 2000s. He served as chief of police in Mesa, Arizona after that before serving as San Francisco district attorney.More Related News
