*A coalition of Los Angeles civil rights leaders are calling for U.S.Attorney General Garland to open a Justice Department probe into the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department.
The coalition of activists want a Justice Department investigation to determine if the Sherriffs department “engages in a pattern or practice of using excessive force along with violations of the Constitution or federal law.
There has been several controversial shootings of Black and brown residents in recent years by LA County Sheriff deputy’s resulting in the deaths of Andre’s Guardado , Djion Kizzee and Fred Williams Jr. There are also reports of LA Deputy Sheriff’s belonging to and forming gangs within the department.
