I spoke with Sheriff Robert Luna ahead of Tuesday’s primary election. We discussed the department’s work with federal agencies, enforcing a mask ban on ICE, and why he thinks a nuanced approached to deputy gangs is necessary.

Mike Bornman retired after 36 years at the LA Sheriff’s Department & now he is running for Sheriff. He says he has a tattoo, but that does not make him a gangster. He points to his record of investigating other department members as evidence that he does not tolerate misconduct.

To be clear: I have ZERO affiliation w/ Knock LA & its political endorsements, particularly of LA County Sheriff.
Knock LA is a political blog of Ground Game LA. They are illegally displaying my reporting on their website. This falsely boosts their credibility & relevance.

Ground Game LA is violating the copyright I hold & in spite of several takedown notices. I am currently suing them in federal court for this.
Journalists do NOT endorse candidates. I will say this though: stay away from dishonest voter guides.
