A newly-elected Los Angeles city councillor who campaigned on a pledge to abolish the police has been left red-faced after a staff member rang the LAPD to request protection for his broken-down car.
Hugo Soto-Martinez, a trade union activist and member of the Democratic Socialist party, was elected in December.
Soto-Martinez campaigned against 'armed militias occupying our neighborhoods,' saying that the existing policing system was 'completely corrupt, immoral, and needs to be changed drastically.'

why call the po po? call triple A and tow the thing home
Morons elect other morons. 🙄
Typical rat. 🐀
[and member of the Democratic Socialist party]
Didn’t there used to be a National Socialist German Worker’s Party?
Seems like they did bad things (IIRC). Or “did something” but I haven’t read the rewritten history yet.
Taking officers off the street to guard this guy?
Reminds me of the picture of a marine standing, combat ready and a whining quivering parasite crouching down being him in fear.
Hmmmm, so leftists are hypocrites? Who knew?
Was the councilman upset by his staffer requesting the LAPD guard his car or did he tell the staffer to do it only to throw him under the bus when it was exposed?
Typical California political hypocrite, all the way up to Newsom in the statehouse.
The law is for THEE, but not for ME.
They scream about gun control and de-policing the state, but when it comes to them and their families, they have 24/7 armed guards and the ability to call up extra police for personal reasons, such as to guard a car overnight.
As much as I despise these political hacks, I hate those who vote for them even more.
Some people did something

No, not defund, ban. Get rid of them entirely. The good ones left, or are in such financial straits they had to stay for pension or such.
Disband the coppers. All they do now is support commie trash rules.
Let citizens defend themselves. Fine by me, I’ll carry in my car wherever I go in CaCaLand. Thugs will soon learn that easy(r) pickins are all Demos (aka slave loving commie trash).
An openly armed civilization is a polite one.
“ Hugo Soto-Martinez, a trade union activist and member of the Democratic Socialist part…”
I’m confused. If he hates the police so much, why didn’t he call La Raza (Unidos US) or Antifa to guard his car?
