LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to remove Sheriff Alex Villanueva as head of the county's emergency operations.
On Monday, Villanueva came out and blasted the vote.
"If you're asking the public to stay home, cooperate with authorities, the same applies to the Board of Supervisors," the sheriff said. "They need to remain focused on this united front against the spread of the coronavirus so that together we can save lives."
The move is based on a report on the communications efforts after the 2018 Woolsey Fire and comes as more cases of the novel coronavirus in the county are reported each day.

The vote comes one day after the sheriff once again reversed his order to close gun stores . The decision follows the federal government listing them as essential.
DEVELOPING
Yeah, but they probably dumped him because he gave in and let the gun stores stay open.
He’s guilty of apostasy.
Is it like that Fox show where some random cop is named to take over in a will?
Bye!
Careful...they may change their minds a couple times...
Yes, I'm absolutely positive the next guy will be an NRA member & border patrol loving bad ass.
Blasphemy! Dowse the evil wizard non-believer! FIE FIE!
It’d be nice to see them tell this prick, “Gun stores are essential, YOU AREN’T!”
But is he being removed from just that position, or from being sheriff?
He bit the hand that was feeding him.
Ha ha ha. Exactly - wait and see what they replace him with.
He’s only being removed as head of emergency ops, don’t think they can remove him as sheriff.
I hope the appoint Dr. Dre or Ice Cube.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Yep. That’s what I thought. Thank you.
also he is incompetent and a racial choice
Bump!
I am detecting a hint of sarcasm, no?
Did the L.A. County Board of Supervisors get permission from the Mexican Mafia to make this move?
"If you're asking the public to stay home, cooperate with authorities, the same applies to the Board of Supervisors," the sheriff said.
Here in one of the hotbeds of COVID-19 (Santa clara county) the hospitals that the media have said are over run and the staff is overworked, how come the hospitals are actually empty. At Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, over 100 nurses are not working and nurses that are scheduled for 8 hour shifts are set home because there is not enough work to keep them there.
