NEW: I spent time with families of those killed by Los Angeles sheriff deputies. They want the department defunded + dismantled. They want DA Jackie Lacey out. They want officers fired + prosecuted.

Julie Martinez, grandmother of Paul Rea, 18, killed by LASD during a traffic stop after allegedly driving thru a stop sign: “The sheriffs for decades have been operating like illegal thugs and gang members under the color of authority. They are never held accountable.”
More from Julie Martinez, Paul’s grandmother: “They utilize their badges as a form of protection. They are allowed unfettered access to criminal activity. There’s zero trust. It’s at the point where people fear the sheriffs more than they actually fear crime.”
I would like to know how #RobertFuller would have hung himself when the police chief of Palmdale stated there was no chair or stepladder near the tree where his body was found. I find it highly implausible that he climbed a tree to commit suicide.
The LA coroner is walking back thay it was a suicide. google.com/amp/s/thehill.…
This is domestic terrorism and it is reminiscent of the Jim Crow era of lynching young black men. We need to root this evil out.

Sheriff’s department helicopter has circled the park where #RobertFuller was found at least 10x’s now, telling protesters to disperse because of unlawful assembly.
Audio is hard to make out but I hear “chemical agents” and “arrests”

Hundreds have moved several hundred feet from Palmdale City Hall to the tree where Robert Fuller’s body was found.

Robert Fuller’s friend Tommie Anderson. Her sign reads “It was not suicide!!!”
This demands further investigation. I'm calling the Palmdale police right now.
This is what I've discovered so far. I just got off the phone with Lt. Brendan Dean, who is in charge of the investigators leading the investigation into #RobertFuller's death. He told me all indicators are that it's a suicide but there is still a coroner's investigation pending
I asked what indicators those were. He said it's still an active investigation so they could not get into all the evidence but noted that there was no indication of "a struggle or fight." Cautioned it's still an active investigation -- they r interviewing family members + (cont.)
