A startling revelation was made at a special public hearing on deputy gangs inside the L.A. Sheriff’s Department: four witnesses were asked to appear, and all four refused. Warning, an image in this article may be graphic.
The commission voted to issue subpoenas to Sheriff Alex Villanueva, Undersheriff Tim Murakami, division Chief April Tardy and former chief of staff Larry Del Mese to testify at a July 1 hearing.
The panel requested that county lawyers ask a court to find him in contempt, with Commissioner Rob Bonner, a formal federal judge, saying Burson “should be incarcerated” if he refuses to comply.Villanueva has called the panel’s investigation a “political stunt” designed to hurt his chances for reelection.
“The witness says that the behavior of the Banditos mimic the behaviors of criminal street gangs in their language, discrimination against Blacks, women and non-Mexican American Latinos.”
