The president of the California District Attorney’s Association (CDAA) called Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón’s decision to cut ties with the group a “publicity stunt.”
Gascón announced Tuesday that he would be leaving the association, claiming the lack of diversity and the group’s “tough on crime” approach didn’t fall in line with his goals.
“CDAA continues to be a member organization solely for those willing to toe the ‘tough on crime’ line,” his statement read. “For the rest of us, it is a place that fails to support us, our communities, or the pursuit of justice.”
