The Los Angele DEM Prosecutor wants to dissolve the anti-gang and the narcotics. Shall we go to “Escape from Los Angeles” with Snake Plissken?

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón (Democrat) plans to "heavily scale down or dissolve" the office's Hardcore Gang and Major Narcotics units as early as next month, according to Fox11 LA . the two units deal with the dangerous crimes of the big gangs and the big drug dealing, activities often linked to each other and in the hands of the big Mexican cartels.

"What we are hearing is that the Hardcore Gang Unit will be disbanded," said one of its underlings, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

"What I understand is that there will be a dissolution of the unit between 1 or 2 April," said a second prosecutor, who says he feels "hampered by Gascón's decision to ban them from using special means for gangs and weapons," and they believe the dissolution of the unit will be a disaster, given the violent crime spree across Los Angeles. "

"We can already hear calls from prisons and interviews with agents on the street telling us that the gang members are laughing at them, I mean it undermined the credibility of law enforcement in its entirety," one of the prosecutors told Fox11.

According to FoxLA's Bill Melugin, the Hardcore Gangs unit – responsible for prosecuting the county's most heinous and complex crime gangs – is currently juggling 700 active cases. In addition, "the Major Narcotics unit of the LA DA office had a meeting with senior executives at 3pm and was informed that their unit will be cut rather than halved."

Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter activists celebrate, claiming the Attorney General is doing exactly what they voted him for. BLM activist "Akili" said: "We called for the dissolution of that unit because we saw how violent it was, how it was used to criminalize people in neighborhoods, and we saw that it was ineffective"

The prosecutors of the Hardcore Gang unit disagree and say that dissolving it will damage marginalized communities more, also because the victims are not only members of rival gangs, but increasingly innocent as well. However, this does not seem to be of particular interest to the Prosecutor elected by the Democrats. He lives safe anyway. The city risks transforming itself instead into that of “2000 Escape from Los angeles”, complete with Snake Plissken….
