CA gun laws are honestly pretty sloppy & somewhat nonsensical (a 3rd generation Glock is not permitted for sale even though it’s no less safe than a 2nd gen Glock). Even worse, by exempting cops we essentially incentivize them going into the gun trade.

But wait, there's more: that California Handgun Roster? Guess who's exempt from that! Cops. Cops can buy almost anything they want, and sometimes even skip over the mandatory waiting period. High capacity magazines? No problem. Civilians cap out at ten rounds. Cops? No limit.

And, of course, they're abusing it. CA recently had to add laws about who active LEOs could sell or transfer guns to, because some cops were making a tidy profit buying off-roster guns and selling them to their buddies.

🚨🚨🚨 KDL just walked out onto the council floor and they immediately went into a recess. His staff clearly had a plan as KDL's supporters in chambers immediately erupted w/ chants of his name.

This mtg & Tuesday's are KDL's best opportunity to attempt a return since there are other interests pulling against breaking quorum. We've got 40 items & farewells for CM O'Farrell & Koretz today. On Tuesday we have the 1st mtg of a new council & a vote on council president...

Don’t buy this, if any of their cops said what Nury did they would defend them to the bitter end. 💯

It’s not a true meeting of the LA City Council until the cowbell comes out.

Mike is THE reason we finally have a public financing system that actually empowers grassroots candidates instead of incumbents. He's waged an at times very lonely fight as the only true progressive on council & paved the way for a better LA. Not much more you can ask of someone.

Today I announced I've decided not to seek reelection to the LA City Council. This is a difficult, deeply personal decision, and I’ve wrestled with it for several days, but I’m confident it is the right choice for the right reasons. (thread)

. @kdeleon giddily talked about throwing Nithya’s district into a “blender” to punish her for not being loyal to their clique of councilmembers scheming to rig our district maps. That wasn’t a small change.

Sheriff Robert Luna just spoke about Undersheriff April Tardy’s tattoo at this mornings Civilian Oversight Commission meeting: “We do have employees who have station tattoos…I think we’re gonna find the difference between a station tattoo and a gang tattoo.”

Krekorian was not ready for the mirrors. Worth noting those are all within the size limits for signs under council rules.

Paul Krekorian and the rest of city council didn’t want to take a look at themselves in the mirror today. If they looked at their reflection, they’d see the same racism and anti-Blackness they lie about being against. What else did these mirrors reflect in council chambers? 🧵

Just an absolutely brutal lineup for Public Safety. The LAPPL must be popping bottles of champagne.

This footage doesn’t capture everything but it captures more than enough. How the hell can anyone justify this resulting in an arrest and $20k bail?

Funny enough, the spicy comment came as a result of CM Koretz threatening to punch another commenter. See thread below for more on that.

Yes, that's a little weird. But what's weirder is how LAT reporters are obsessed with finding a way to blame Kenneth's handling of an appointment (in which council doesn't look great either), while refusing to provide meaningful coverage of actual reform efforts at council...

A little weird that @kennethmejiaLA ’s office is apparently going to accuse the entire L.A. City Council of corruption for blocking his ethics nominee, but he can’t be bothered to give an on-the-record interview about whether he was putting in the legwork.

There are all kinds of agencies, w/o the clear conflict of interest, who could carry out this type of investigation: LA DA, CA DOJ, & the FBI. The sheriff's claims have been sitting around for a year. If he had *anything,* why didn't any of those other agencies bite at this?

Breaking: Sheriff’s deputies are taking boxes from Civilian Oversight Commissioner Patty Giggin’s Los Angeles home, part of a sprawling investigation that includes Metro and Supervisor Sheila Kuehl. The COC has held a series of investigative hearings into alleged gangs in LASD.
