THREAD: It's been *checks calendar* a month following housing efforts on the Venice Beach Boardwalk as @mikebonin's "Encampment to Home" program progresses to the most complicated structures (and people) living along Ocean Front Walk.

Robert moved into the Bridge Home shelter in Venice five weeks ago and is now receiving medical treatment for conditions he developed on the street. The swelling that makes walking painful is from sleeping in his wheelchair.

Three weeks ago, Jerome Thrower sounded confident he would get a Project Roomkey placement right on the Venice Beach Boardwalk.

Last week, he said it fell through.

Yesterday, I found his tent still in the sand but no Jerome.

"I wish I could be back on the beach."

While Robert would prefer living in his tent on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, Dr. Coley King said his health is much better after just a month in the Bridge Home shelter. He says chronic homelessness is deadly.

"No, I don't want any permanent housing. I'm trying to save some money and buy an RV."

After years of life in a tent, Robert is eager to be back out on his own. He can't go back to the Venice Beach Boardwalk, so he's sticking it out for now.

Breaking: Special counsel report calls deputy gangs a 'cancer' inside the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department following a historic series of investigative hearings in 2022.

The report found alleged active deputy gangs in at least four stations.
spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/pub…
The report says former Sheriff Villanueva promoted known members of the Banditos and Reapers who then engaged in internal cover-ups.

"I have not seen the report yet, but the entire process was created for the exclusive purpose of influencing the 2022 elections," Villanueva said.

Breaking: Sheriff’s deputies are taking boxes from Civilian Oversight Commissioner Patty Giggin’s Los Angeles home, part of a sprawling investigation that includes Metro and Supervisor Sheila Kuehl. The COC has held a series of investigative hearings into alleged gangs in LASD.
Giggin’s lawyer Austin Dove confirms detectives took a computer, flash drives and an “Official Police Tow” just showed up to take her car.

“This is harassment!” Giggins says. Dove says that is not in the warrant. Tensions escalate.
Giggin’s lawyer provided this photo of four of the twelve deputies who searched her home. More showed up at her office where staff says they seized servers from Peace Over Violence meaning the non-profit cannot function. The Metro contract under investigation ended in December.

In a stunning moment, Los Angeles Co Sheriff Alex Villanueva revealed LASD is investigating his political opponent @Vera4Sheriff, the Inspector General and LA Times reporter @AleneTchek, after leaked video exposed a deputy kneeling on a handcuffed inmate's head. @SpecNews1SoCal
The incident has been handed over to District Attorney @GeorgeGascon, who will ultimately decide whether Douglas Johnson's use of force was illegal. You can read. @AleneTchek's important work here:

That’s the voice of @StoltzeFrankly pressing the Sheriff on this and then the follow up from @FoxPhil that he should take questions from Alene at the press conference.

NEW: An East LA deputy alleges a hostile work environment and "unrelenting" harassment by the #Banditos deputy gang in 2019. Deputy Robert Coyle says he was given "freeway therapy" when he requested to be transferred away and then moved to the jails when he sued.
@SpecNews1SoCal
In the court docs, Coyle says the #Banditos gave him excessive calls for service and then withheld back up. He also alleges that other deputies assumed because he "was white, he must be an undercover FBI agent and harassed him."
I reached out to LASD but haven't heard back...I'll update the thread when they get back to me.

“I want to clean up Los Angeles while being respectful to the unhouse,” says @JoeBuscaino as he launches his campaign for mayor of Los Angeles. He’s announcing a three point plan for “a safer Los Angeles.”
His 3 point plan:
1. Cut red tape to build housing faster
2. Get rid of LAHSA and build new system
3. Enforcement that bans encampments at parks, beaches and sidewalks
“Homelessness is an emergency in the city of Los Angeles.”

A man is now attempting to interrupt the presser.
