These are all people shot and killed by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies since George Floyd was killed.

According LASD, deputies stopped Kizzee for a bicycle violation, he ran, hit an officer while trying to escape, dropped a gun (so, unarmed)—and they shot him. abc7.com/doorbell-video…

Deputy who killed Andres Guardado was reportedly trying to prove himself to a Sheriff’s Deputy gang out of Compton Station—The Executioners. spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/pub…

Yes, Deputy Gangs in the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. There is a long history, from the Vikings to the 3000 Boys to the Executioners. witnessla.com/wp-content/upl…

Lawless leadership, deputy gangs, multiple killings by deputies—there is a better way to public safety. Support Measure J to fund investment in community and public safety, not more violent policing.
