The union representing Los Angeles police officers is criticizing Mayor Eric Garcetti's plan to shut off water and power at 'party houses,' saying officers should be focused on the rising number of shootings instead.
The political battle between Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and the police union escalated this week with union leaders bucking the mayor’s plans to crack down on illicit “party houses” amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the mayor’s announcement drew the quick ire of officials in the Police Protective League, who have clashed with Garcetti in recent months as he has pushed for reforms and cuts to the LAPD as part of a national reckoning over police abuses. Officers are also angered over Garcetti’s support for cutting the LAPD’s budget — a trim of about 1.5% after taking into account the mayor’s previously planned increase to the budget.
