LOS ANGELES The union that represents rank-and-file LAPD officers is targeting several City Council members through a billboard campaign amid talks of budget cuts that could lead to a reduction in services and cops.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) is asking around 9,800 members to vote in favor of forgoing $22 each pay period over two years to fund the union’s political activities, the Los Angeles Daily News reported. Most of the money would be spent on local and statewide races in 2022 in which Los Angeles will elect a new mayor and several council members will seek re-election.
Los Angeles Police Officer Toni McBride was not justified in continuing to fire on Daniel Hernandez after her initial rounds, the Los Angeles Police Commission ruled Tuesday. The body determined that her first four shots were justified, but everything fired after that, including shots fired while Hernandez was already on the ground, violated department policy.
The ruling is similar to recommendations given by the department’s inspector general’s office regarding the April incident, but, the
Los Angeles Times reports, it contradicts statements from LAPD Chief Michel Moore, who had recommended all of McBride’s shooting be deemed legitimate.
McBride’s partner, who did not shoot at Hernandez, was also determined to have broken a department policy requiring officers to “work together as a team” when faced with a risk.

The Los Angeles Police Commission ruled Tuesday that LAPD Officer Toni McBride broke department policy when she continued shooting Daniel Hernandez during a fatal encounter in April deciding McBride’s first four shots were justified, but her fifth and sixth shots were not.
Hernandez had been involved in a vehicle collision on San Pedro Street near East 32nd Street on April 22 when McBride and her partner arrived on the scene. Video showed McBride repeatedly advised Hernandez to drop a box cutter that he was holding as he approached her, then shot him six times in a matter of seconds.
