Gangs taking over LA Sheriff's Dept.

Intro:

>>At least four “secret cliques or gangs” of sheriff’s deputies — with names like the Banditos and the Executioners — continue to operate and recruit within the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, despite recent reforms intended to ban them. The persistence of illicit factions is described in a new report commissioned by L.A. County that rebukes a department that “either can’t or won’t” manage a problem that is undermining the legitimacy of the law enforcement agency, and has cost local taxpayers tens of millions of dollars to settle claims of recklessness, violence, and harassment.<<

This is not the first time.

Hell even Miami Metro had an active drug cartel within it's ranks in the late 80s. LA is "gangland" and the PD and SO haven't exerted true control since they surrendered the city during the Rodney King riots.

Hey, if the Kommies-in-Charge cannot completely defund the police, the next best thing is to destroy them from the inside. :roll:

LA is just big enough to have separate police gang factions is all.

But their hero governor just got 67% of the vote. You couldn't get 67% of people to vote yes on oxygen. When the time comes to part ways California and those states that chose to follow them should be the ones force to change their names

The names Rand Corporation and Rolling Stone pushing this throws up red flags for me.

Some of the stuff in that article is mindboggling. Assaulting other officers? Fights in the parking lot? Assaulting inmates? WTF, over?
