DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva abruptly ended a campaign appearance at Olvera Street in downtown L.A. on Friday afternoon after being shouted down by protesters, some of whom later confronted City Councilman Kevin de León nearby.
"Olvera Street was left to become a homeless encampment but under Sheriff Villanueva's leadership, it was restored in just three weeks using the HOST model and secured housing placements for the unhoused," the news release said. Protesters immediately began shouting, prompting the sheriff to pause before saying,"Well, let's ignore that and lets keep talking."
Other supporters then broke into a chant:"Villanueva! Villanueva!" However, the sheriff's opponents were not deterred. Some of them tried to approach Villanueva but were blocked by several men. Whether those men were private security officials or plainclothes LAUSD deputies was unclear.
based. defund the police
good
Good expose the bandito!!!
mmhmmm!!!
Because he sucks. Don't vote for him.
Villanueva is a thug that promotes gang culture within ranks. He’s no better than the criminals he is arresting. LA deserves/NEEDS better.
He’s got my vote ✅
Good
So many mistakes in this article... One of Villanueva's supporters then took to the microphone and said, apparently in jest, 'We asked for five protesters but they could only bring us three.' - that was his campaign manager Javier Gonzalez
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾good. Evil Villanueva shouldn’t be allowed to spew lies. He’s 100% responsible for the utter failure of LASD. Deputy gang members killing Black & brown men in the community & in the jails. He should be shamed into obscurity, never showing his face in public again.
You misspelled heroes
I voted for anyone but him.
Numerous well respected main stream media sources have run articles on LASD criminal gang activity even including murders of innocent civilians. These are based on official whistle blower sources in all levels of law enforcement❗ Activists were right
I guess, I'm not the only one who doesn't like him.
The same paid disrupters that show up all the time.
don't forget the part where his campaign manager tried to have a journalist arrested for doing his job or how AV supporters assaulted people for exercising their 1A rights, that's pretty important
Good. He is a gang leader masquerading as a cop.
He has my vote
just voted for him. Hope he gets reelected.
These same people will be begging the responsible people like me to help them when they remove him and crime goes through the roof to which I’ll just tell them, nah fuck off.
I hope he wins
Awwww LASDHQ
ShorealoneFilms Wow!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 GOOGLELASDGANGS
LA is so fucking dirty. MORE POLICE. MORE EDUCATION.
He's got MY VOTE!!✅️
Look at him signal for his goons to push them around. And I’m sure that guy was only drinking water from that solo cup..
DefundThePolice
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA LOSER
They can do whatever they want. But LACoSheriff will be te elected. I am sure of it. We don’t want another sheriff who is submissive to the corruption of the LA BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
Fabulous!! He is awful!!
The sheriff's support in the surrounding neighborhood isn't short of banners and other yard posters.
Let me guess. They're white.
The communities with the least amount of crime don't have the most cops.
