Los Angeles City Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez under fire after his staffer calls the LAPD to ask for 'extra patrol' on the official's broken-down car.
"Apparently the councilman and his staff want to abolish the police for everyone by themselves," Sandoz said. "It is the complete height of hypocrisy."," she continued."We have murder, we have homeless encampments, we have robberies, home invasion robberies. And then you have a councilman calling because his car broke down? That's unbelievable. We're down 700 police officers in Los Angeles. They're spread thin.
"It's so irresponsible and dangerous to want to abolish the police and to stand behind that and to say that they're going to investigate their own staffer," she said."It's hard to believe that the staffer didn't get direction from the councilman. I mean, this is his car, right?" "I think that they're backtracking on their campaign promise to abolish the police and to defund the police. So I don't buy that one bit."Sandoz believes the staffer was using their position to get special treatment, arguing a regular citizen would not have been able to receive police help to watch a broken-down vehicle.
"I don't understand how this person got elected to office. But he definitely needs to step down if he's not willing to protect his constituents and also protect the city of Los Angeles," Sandoz concluded.Get all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
