“Police must be held accountable for the harm they commit,” said Paula Minor from Black Lives Matter L.A.“Our city leaders must review the disciplinary process and procedures that are being used by LAPD,” she said.
The L.A. Police Protective League, the union which represents L.A. officers responded to the report in a statement questioning the commission’s impartiality. “The reality is that LAPD officers are being held accountable through one of the most thorough ad fair review processes in the nation,” the union said in the statement.After reviewing the report, the commission voted to have a similar report conducted monthly and will publish the findings on the LAPD website.
