California: Los Angeles sheriff says ‘defund police’ advocates have ‘selective amnesia’ about officers saving lives

FOX: Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva blasted advocates of defunding police and law enforcement departments Tuesday, accusing them of ignoring the good officers do during a crisis.

“I think this is selective amnesia from people that believe in a utopian society, if that exists,” Villanueva told “America’s Newsroom“. “If so, great, we can defund all law enforcement, all military. There will be no wars.”

Villanueva also discussed the outbreak of violence in and around Seattle‘s Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone, which has left one person dead and three others wounded.

“We have a conflict that has kind of artificially been made larger than it needed to be,” he said, adding that “the moment the [Seattle government] abandoned the police precinct and the city blocks to the autonomous zone, that was a key point in this thing that has only escalated in getting bigger.” MORE HERE

  1. Villanueva Is a big time 2nd Amendment hater. Try and get a carry permit in LA county. Further more the majority of LA LE would have no issues confiscating your legal guns.

  2. I’ve seen a lot more evidence of police violating rights than I have of police saving lives and I don’t even watch TV. It’s gonna be a tough sell if he’s counting on the MSM to deliver this message.

  3. A basic principle of the current insurrectionists is that one bad act – real or imagined – in the past wipes out all good acts.

    Here’s an example of the logic: Columbus “discovered America”. America is the worst country ever. Therefore nothing Columbus did is worth remembering or memorializing. He is the worst person ever along with Trump, Jefferson, Washington (George, not Denzel), St Junipero, Jefferson, Calhoun…but mainly Trump.

  4. What people are leaving out of the equation is that the whole Seattle fiasco was coordinated out of the Seattle City Hall and King County office of the County Executive. This whole operation was choreographed by and under the advisement of the Snohomish/King/Pierce Democrat machine.

    There were NOT two sides. They both played their part in a coordinated production. The progressive movement got what they wanted out of it and that is all that matters to them.

    Seattle has a critical mass of voters who will not punish the Democrats. They love this shit.

    Seattle is a subhuman shithole by design.

    Tacoma’s Mayor was trying to get on the act and incite the same bullshit there. She spent better than a month trying to incite rioting, but she doesn’t have the intellectual firepower to burn toast and collectively Pierce County, outside Tacoma, is not of the opinion that this shit is funny, smart or cute.

    They tried to take it regional. They tried real hard.
