Sheriff Villanueva Blasts County Board Of Supervisors, DA George Gascón During 'Year In Review' Press Conference

At a Wednesday press conference, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva reported that homicides are up 94% over the last two years and car thefts are up by more than 50%, as well speaking on a number of other issues he said are affecting the department.Villanueva didn’t hold back when it came to criticizing his favorite targets, District Attorney George Gascón and the LA County Board of Supervisors.

“They need to knock off all the virtue signaling that’s going on over there and start doing hard decisions based on facts that are going to make the community safer,” Villanueva said. “They’ll hire librarians. They’ll hire clerks in all the other county departments, but they don’t want to allow us to hire deputy sheriffs,” he said.As for his thoughts on Gascón, Villanueva said the DA’s office simply takes too long with deputy-involved shooting investigations. He also pointed to the glaring two-year increase in homicides, none of which he held himself accountable for.

Police don’t stop homicides. Never have. He’s working to make a point that no one asked about.

Passing the buck (blame)…got it!!! Obviously WorstSheriffEver Inept

But he's still failed to do anything about it

He is a real leader - and leads by example and from the front. LA is lucky to have him IMHO

Google LASD gangs.

Sounds like he's making excuses for his poor performance. Fire Villanueva and DA Gascon.

This man is a hero.

The terrible place we're at right now is purely the fault of Villanueva. He can point blame all he wants but it's on him. Poor leadership, no respect in the ranks, bad intentions, and his self interest brought him down. Say good by now and stay gone.

Love this guy. The LA COUNTY Board of Stupervisors is a joke. 5 people representing 10 million Angelenos! And 1 “health official” Barbara Fking Ferrer el Karen can crush every Main Street in the county! The largest Congressional district has 750K pop. THEY ARE BAD! Need REFROM

CaliCre8ive 94% increase in homicides in L.A. County... This falls on progressives 100%

This guy for mayor!! He's so spot on

He’s right! Zero bail is the worst thing to happen in the legal system.

You mean his team of domestic abusers and gang members aren’t doing a good job? That is surprising.

Somehow he had the nerve to hold Gascón responsible for the rise in crime before he took office. You know who was in office in 2020 when the homocide rate went up 41%? LACoSheriff Villanueva losangeles RecallVillanueva

LASDHQ LACoSheriff should run for Mayor. This city is HORRIFYING and needs to recall GeorgeGascon IMMEDIATELY

It's The Truth Sheriff....

That's all you hear now'a days is people playing the blame game.

Did a reporter think to ask him how banning cash bail could in any way lead to a rise in homicides?
