Los Angeles CEO Sachi Hamai has put forward a proposed budget with recommendations to cut some $145.4 million allocated to local police.
Mayor Eric Garcetti pledged - amid the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests - to redistribute some funds from the police and specifically into black communities.Kelly Hyman, a partner at The Hyman Law Firm and specialist in class-action lawsuits, explained that in Los Angeles County's proposed budget, public safety will bear the impact of an overall 8 percent cut in spending, with the Sheriff's Department marked for more than 400 layoffs and $162 million trimmed from its $3.
"The drastic move by local elected officials to appease this movement so quickly is premature and will backfire. We all agreed police reform was needed, but the step to defund police at this level is a con on every level," cautioned law enforcement expert and Mankarious, CEO of Crime Stoppers of Houston. "Reforming police in actuality means better training, investing in recruits, changes in police practices, and maintaining good officers.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva speaks during a ceremony in Monterey Park, Calif. On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors removed the sheriff as head of the county's emergency operations, the latest move in a longstanding feud that has escalated amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Some analysts are also especially perplexed by the prospective axing of the Special Victims Unit which has long been considered a national leader – made up of a multifaceted team of experts – in rescuing and protecting children from harrowing situations of physical and sexual abuse, human trafficking and rape, particularly those trapped in abusive home environments.
Nonetheless, the specialized unit itself has not been without its own scarring and internal problems.
