Almost every news agency is choosing to leave this pig's name out of their reporting. Roy Alatorre joined the Pasadena Police Department in May 2021. If anyone else had shot a pig, their name and face would be plastered on every mention of the incident

Newly released dashcam video shows a Pasadena police officer getting shot by a fellow officer in what the police chief described as a "horseplay" incident.
The shooting happened last September, but the department released the video Wednesday.
The police chief said the officer who was shot has since recovered and that disciplinary action has been taken. abc7.la/JXROrI

Karmelo Anthony and #CyrusCarmackBelton remind us that the whole system is guilty…and not just in South Carolina and Texas. It’s also right here in Los Angeles. We must #FireMcDonnell (LAPD Chief) and say #ByeNathan (LA County DA). Here’s how and why…

Very important to point out that he did not achieve this by increasing policing. Right wingers have no answer to this

It just came out in the LA Times that LAPD is rife when police gangs. Without a doubt Chief McDonnell knows and may even be a part of them. Yet another reason to fire him. SIGN THE PETITION TO FIRE LAPD CHIEF MCDONNELL!

Performance Audits are NEEDED on ALL City programs, no matter where they're under (elected officials or departments). If not, hundreds of millions of dollars go unchecked.
These audits help programs perform more efficiently & effectively, and most importantly, save tax dollars.

What would I do if we were free…
I wouldn’t have to roll on lying politicians like @CityAttorneyLA Hydee Feldstein Soto or deal with the not-so-thinly-veiled threats of the punk-ass popo.
If I could, I’d be a birder.

Demanding that LA Police Commission #FireChiefMcDonnell for his:
- Collusion with ICE
- Condoning the brutalization of protestors by cops.
- Refusal to arrest ICE agent Bryan Palacios for the murder of #KeithPorter.
- Being an asshole.
