They may have started with benign intentions, but history has proved that Deputy Cliques have often evolved into Deputy Gangs. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The deputy members use gang-like symbols and engage in gang-type and criminal behavior directed against the public and other Department members.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">As part of the investigation,\u00a0 the report states that the Special Counsel interviewed approximately eighty witnesses. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The witnesses were current and former Deputies, Sergeants, Lieutenants, Captains, Commanders, Assistant Sheriffs, and Undersheriffs; a former Sheriff; and former law enforcement officials from other law enforcement agencies. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Many witnesses were interviewed multiple times.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Deputy Cliques run the stations or units where they exist, as opposed to the sergeants, lieutenants, and the captain who are charged with the duty to run the station; exercise influence over, and often decide assignments and shifts, training, and overtime<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The gangs exclude deputies from the Deputy Cliques, often based on race, 11 ethnicities, or gender; intimidate deputies that are not part of the Deputy Cliques.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The deputy gangs give orders not to provide backup to disfavored deputies or not members of the Deputy Cliques.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">They order work slowdowns if the management of a station attempts to rein them in.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The deputy gangs encourage a \u201cwe-they\u201d attitude, not just between them and the public but with other deputies within the station.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">They operate in secrecy, lie in reports to protect each other; and threaten the public with the use of excessive force without justification.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">They belittle deputies unwilling to engage in such acts. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Most troubling, they create rituals that valorize violence, such as recording all deputy-involved shootings in an official book, celebrating with \u201cshooting parties,\u201d and authorizing deputies who have shot a community member to add embellishments to their common gang tattoos.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In two separate shootings of community members Sheldon Lockett and Donta Taylor, the report stated that Deputy Aldama, and his partner, Mizrain Orrego, were named as defendants.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In each instance, the deputies claimed that the victims had guns.\u00a0 In neither case was a gun located, and much evidence suggested that in fact, neither had guns. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The County settled both cases with the families of the deceased for a total amount just short of ten million dollars.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Since outside counsel was engaged in each case substantial legal fees were incurred on top of the settlement amount, the report stated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/abc7.com\/video\/embed\/?pid=7292268\" width=\"476\" height=\"267\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>(July 2021 Report)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gXBvT0hlzpk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new civilian oversight commission\u2019s report released on Friday says at least a half-dozen deputy gangs are still operating inside the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department.
