Look like @RickCarusoLA is pivoting. Let’s be clear though, he has a years long anti-abortion history. Please read our story on his record, or an op-Ed from students at USC who lived thru him covering up 30 years of sexual assault, both from @KnockDotLA.
EXCLUSIVE: On a 2015 camping trip to Kern County, a group of @LASDHQ deputies held down another who made an "unauthorized change" to a deputy gang tattoo. After attempting to burn it off w/ the barrel of a recently fired gun, they shot him in the ankle. knock-la.com/deputy-gang-ta…
My sources identified the shooter as Sgt. Wyatt Waldron of the Lancaster station. The Office of the Inspector General found Waldron lied multiple times during the investigation. @LASDHQ never looked into it. @LACoSheriff promoted Waldron in 2021. knock-la.com/deputy-gang-ta…
This isn't the first time that a deputy got away with shooting a colleague and got promoted...@Rhambo4Sheriff shot his boss during an operation in 1987 and went on to be assistant sheriff. He's currently running for LA Co. Sheriff. knock-la.com/cecil-rhambo-s…

Good morning! @LACoSheriff is live streaming on Facebook and Instagram and I will be live tweeting here.
.@LACoSheriff starting out w/ crime statistics. He says they are up, but only 40% of homicides are being solved by @LASDHQ.
.@LACoSheriff says today's topic will be "The tentacles of corruption" and @MRTempower. He claims that the @LACountyBOS and MRT are responsible for the slow roll out of body worn cameras. Claims MRT appointed former @LACountyCOC members to sabotage him.
Lt. Deedrick also claims to have found 4 missing persons on the Venice boardwalk, one of which is allegedly an autistic man from the UK. He says he is going to connect with INTERPOL after the press conference.
Lt. Deedrick of @LASDHQ says that the HOST team exemplifies Maslow's hierarchy of needs by providing food water and shelter and also security through trauma informed care. This seemingly contradicts @LACoSheriff previous statement about it being wrong to help the unhoused.
Lt. Deedrick says a significant portion of the boardwalk population is "nomadic travelers" or people allowed to keep a "dual residence". Many shelters do not allow residents to keep most of their belongings, which is why they store things outside.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva, Lt. Geoffrey Deedrick and business owners from the Venice Beach Boardwalk are about to gold a press conference about @LASDHQ strategy in Venice. I'll be livetweeting the conference here, and you can tune in here: facebook.com/LosAngelesCoun…
.@LACoSheriff kicks off the press conference by calling out people on social media making fun of his "cowboy hat", saying he wears it because of his fight with skin cancer.
Sheriff Villanueva now showing a photo taken the Southern California newsgroup depicting an encampment w/ the caption "A National Disgrace...A Local Tragedy." He falsely states that most of LA's homeless population comes from outside of California and are ruining tourist spots.
