Under the motion, such a move would be allowed "for cause" -- with such cause defined as "a violation of any law related to the performance of their duties as sheriff; flagrant or repeated neglect of duties; a misappropriation of public funds or property; willful falsification of a relevant official statement or document; or obstruction of any investigation into the conduct of the sheriff by the Inspector General, Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission, or any government agency...
"If passed, this illegal motion would allow corrupt supervisors to intimidate sheriffs from carrying out their official duties to investigate crime," the representative told The Times. "Creating a pathway for politicians to remove a duly elected sheriff is a recipe for corruption, particularly when `cause' is whatever suits their political agenda."
Villanueva has repeatedly clashed with the board, accusing members of defunding his agency at the expense of public safety, while also rebuffing subpoenas to appear before the county's Civilian Oversight Commission. The motion also refers to previous sheriffs Lee Baca, who was sent to federal prison on corruption charges, and Peter Pitchess, who "resisted any involvement in the first internal investigation of deputy gangs from outside the department."
L.A. County Board Moves To Give Itself Power To Oust Sheriff From Office Dems attempting to remove a duly elected official because they don’t agree w/him tells you that they are THE REAL THREAT to Democracy. DemsRequireAssimilation DemocratsAreTheBorg
We support the Sheriff and believe the board is corrupt and as a resident of LA County the board is over stepping their boundaries. Our constitution talks about a corrupt government
That’s giving them to much power!
Recall HildaSolis Recall _HollyJMitchell
Recall the LA BOS!
a very bandito reaction
Because We the People do not want that nasty Gascon.
So these 3 think it's okay to remove an elected (by the residents) Sheriff without having to do a 'recall' election from the very same voters who appointed him the position but just a vote of 5 people? Who are they to over-ride the vote of the residents? -
And yet these people pretend that its JUST the right that is trying to invalidate democracy. To be clear, I'm against it when anyone does it. But I'm sick of shit like this flying under the radar.
Chief Villanueva - I am inviting you to be a guest speaker on my podcast, Claremont Speaks. You are disrupting a seriously corrupt and self-serving organization/machine. I'm offering you a way to tell your story without any restrictions. You decide. russclaremontspeaks.com
MORE REPRESENTATION & less power for the LA CO. Supervisors. Expand the districts to Nine (9) from the present 5. Bring ave of ppl/district from 780 thousand to 43 thousand/ district.
