Eunisses Hernandez has been called a hypocrite for repeatedly calling for police to be abolished — then using taxpayers’ money to pay for own her security in public.
The socialist Los Angeles councilmember has built her political brand crusading against cops, winning election on an abolish-the-police platform and even voting ”no” to the city’s budget three years running because she claims the $2.4 billion needed to keep them takes funding from her priorities.

Documents obtained exclusively by The Post through a public records request show Hernandez’s office arranged for LAPD officers to provide security for a Mexican Independence celebration hosted at City Hall.
The event, titled “El Grito 2025,” was held Sept. 13 and was expected to attract about 500 attendees, according to city event records of the celebration.
The event featured a re-enactment of the “El Grito de Dolores” — the 1810 battle cry that sparked Mexico’s war of independence — and also included a series of politically charged speeches.

Internal LAPD records show 13 armed police officers were assigned to the event, logging more than 100 hours of special-event overtime as part of the security deployment.

We don’t despise these people enough.
It's not "extraordinary" at all: it's completely typical of people like this.
As long as the citizens vote for this, oh well. Too bad for them.
This whale know every taco joint in LA and beyond
It also seems that she has no idea why we have police officers. She eats well, tho. Time to unload this drain on society.
She has no idea about the reasons for a police force, but she eats well. Time to unload this drain on society.
