Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva had a few things to get off his chest when we met in his office at the Hall of Justice on Monday afternoon.knocking me for criticizing his approach to moving homeless encampments off the Venice boardwalk, including threatening to arrest those who refuse to move after being offered room in shelter or hotels.
Most of our chat was devoted to the humanitarian crisis engulfing our county, his disdain for the elected officials on whose watch it has occurred, and his deep frustration with the way he is covered by the Los Angeles Times, which he likes to call the “El Segundo Times,” a reference to where our offices are.
During his dramatic reading of my column on Facebook Live, he called me “sexist” for saying he’d muscled his way into the issue, and “racist” for describing his style as “bravado.”But he did want to talk seriously about how to handle the huge increase in homeless people living on or near the coast, a subject of hot debate into which he has veryVillanueva’s attempts to clear homeless encampments in Venice were intended as both a rebuke to local politicians such as L.A.
AbcarianLAT opinion The headline should be, “Sheriff Villanueva thinks the LA Times has too many Black columnists.” In a city where Whites make up 29% of the population, more than half of the Times’ columnists are White — yet for some reason Villanueva wants to pick on its 3 Black columnists.
AbcarianLAT opinion The people of Iran are coming to the streets across the nation— showing a nation_unified against the Islamic Republic. It is our patriotic duty, as freedom-loving Iranians at home or abroad, to join in solidarity.
AbcarianLAT opinion He unloaded because your publication is nothing but pure propaganda
AbcarianLAT opinion As a sheriff or an “officer of the peace” you shouldn’t unload on anyone your job it’s to stop and prevent crime the best possible way engage with your community and don’t bully civilians you get paid we stay safe ..Win win god bless America!!!
AbcarianLAT opinion The real headline. He's an angry little man.

AbcarianLAT opinion Not angry at any of the illegal shit the Sheriff’s Dept. has done including running criminal gangs. Wipe your own ass.
AbcarianLAT opinion good
AbcarianLAT opinion You deserve it.
opinion Wow look at that. The LA times actually wrote something with nuance and objectivity that isn't just far left propaganda. Of course, they had to go and make this an 'opinion piece' when garbage like this(is masquerading as journalism
opinion 'During his dramatic reading of my column on Facebook Live, he called me 'sexist' for saying he’d muscled his way into the issue, and 'racist' for describing his style as 'bravado.' 'I was being facetious,' he said, when I asked what he meant.' Trumpy enough for you?
opinion Omg, he even complains about the unflattering photos of him you run... Like I said, Sheriff LOVES the camera but the camera doesn't love him. He doesn't realize that most of the time he's in public, he looks ridiculous? He's more out of touch than ever. He's never not sarcastic

opinion Didn’t want the headache of enforcement, doesn’t have the manpower or budget, doesn’t have the conviction of office so just found lame excuse and took easy way out.
opinion Voters are angry - at sheriff Villanueva who ran as a “progressive” but quickly revealed himself to be a true fascist!
opinion He is more in tune with the people than most elected leaders. Everyone is fed up with lawlessness & officials codependent approach to homelessness. Provide a link to his campaign so more can donate bc he’s doing his job.
