If Cali doesn't step up, federal agencies will keep targeting them

Unfortunately local cops are in favor of killing citizens.

Cops work for cities, counties, and the state...

Politicians can give them orders, and if the bosses don't follow, they can be replaced.

Just because neoliberals act like they can't do anything about cops, doesn't mean they can't.

The sheriff is his own elected official, and you can't run for the position unless you're a cop.

So cut funding...

But the issue is the LAPD, not the LASD.

Stop acting like norma have to be followed by one side, you don't fight fascism with one arm tied behind your back

Doesn’t LAPD have jurisdiction inside the city?

Yeah, but a bunch of today's events were in the county, not the city, and the county sheriff are the ones that are most willing to hurt people.

Edit: Gov Newsom is deploying the CHP. Hopefully they have orders to keep the other cops from going on a murder rampage

They can also not go home at night, too.

They’re only doing aerial surveillance. Newsom and McDonnell, the Chief of Police, have clearly stated that they will not be assisting ICE.
