A councilor for Los Angeles who voted to slash $150 million from the annual budget of the LAPD has called the police to his house eight times since April, it has been claimed.

Mike Bonin, 53, was among 11 councilors who agreed in June to reduce the annual budget, in the wake of calls to defund police forces across the country following the May 25 death of George Floyd.

His phone number should be on the police phone log of incoming calls, time, date, etc.

Then sue him for lying.

Very few people vote in l.a. all you gotta do is suck up to the real estate developers...spout progressive jargon...suck uo to city worker unions and you win with about 15 percent of the voters. L.A. stands for Losing Always...or Lawless 4**es. See Jose Huizar.

“’The only time LAPD has come at my request was to pick up as evidence the syringes that one of the right-wing protesters left on our doorsteps.’”
