LA Sheriff Rips Push to Fire 4,000 Unvaccinated Deputies Amid Crime Wave: 'Immoral Position'
Fox News ^ | February 18, 2022 | Danielle Wallace

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said county board 'couldn't care less' about residents' public safety concerns, predicts 'referendum on woke-ism'

As Los Angeles County residents endure rising crime and increasing homelessness, Sheriff Alex Villanueva is slamming what he describes as a political push fueled by defund police activists to fire 4,000 sheriff department employees who have not been vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Villanueva, who oversees the largest sheriff's department in the nation, said he’s the "only one left standing" when providing counterbalance against the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, which has progressive Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon "in their back pocket."

"This is nothing but a power grab by the board. And it's shameful, and it's going to be harmful to public safety," Villanueva told Fox News Digital. He noted that the board endorsed Gascon, who is now facing a second recall effort backed by wealthy Democratic donors and Hollywood honchos.

Do it. 4,000 fewer deputies means 4,000 fewer of these fools on the streets:

Well, he’s not going to arrest anyone anyway, so what does he need the police for?

In general I might agree with you,

but in this case the 4000 they are trying to fire are probably the smart ones.

He'd have about as much luck as Curtis Sliwa did in the NYC mayoral election. And for much the same reasons.

I cannot help but think that the surge in crime is another Cloward-Piven method of bringing down the US by overwhelming the Criminal Justice System. Too many crimes, not enough courts or prisons.

"Well, he’s not going to arrest anyone anyway, so what does he need the police for?"

If he could, DA Gascon lets them go for future court appearances or just doesn't prosecute. Remember, this is the State that passed and was signed that anything under $950 was not to be prosecuted. It's the "smash and grab" capitol of the US. The organized thugs are just walking past the store security with actually more than the $950 each. Talk about a death wish.

Run it! I sit here in Colorado watching my Cat Lady Council discuss spending millions on ‘affordable housing’ and watching the homeless screw on the sidewalks of Main Street. Burn it down!

—”He’d have about as much luck as Curtis Sliwa did in the NYC mayoral election.”

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn’t hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger, watch it grin

Sheriff Alex Villanueva is hated by the fat, Soros whores on the LA county board.

He’s stood up to these racist, white BLM pigs for the past two years. This is about the control of LA County. Make no mistake, this is an effort by the deep state weenies to weaken the sheriff’s manpower.

BLM is about to lose control in LA County to the Mexicans. I’m guessing that the Mexicans will control LA County in about two years. The BLM racists will be chased back to their ghetto ratholes.

The race war between the Mexicans and the deep state racist black thugs in California is the most under-reported story of the past 12 years.

A walkout might be an effective response?

The best thing this sheriff and the 4,000 can do is simply walk away, leave CA and find jobs in other states. Then let the chaos reign and show how really smart the council is.
