Why isn’t this investigated federally? This should be Rico charges just like when street gangs do it.

[yourself]

It isn’t alleged when it actually real

[kothejunglist]

Villanueva is part of the problem. He needs to be voted out this upcoming election cycle. Has anyone seen his Ad, resembles a mafia flick. Creepy as all hell.

[lauranewbie]

They've known about this for a long time, but came to light with the charges against Lee Baca, and Tanaka. This is no surprise, and for Villanueva to deny that it's true, is just ridiculous!

[smauglord]

More the 20 yrs and they just doing investigation what a joke 🤣😂

[jackinbox]

This is never going to stop until they get Villanueva out-of-office

[UncleBensRice...]

Fire all these cops, clear and simple.

[LuisCasstle]

So a gang within a gang? 🤔 That's known as compartmentalization. It seems that when they reach a certain level of "loyalty" they can get the tattoo for recognition.

Corruption at its best, justice will prevail in the end…

[stevewill]

Keep your phones on while these thugs stop you and ask for their name and badge number. Penal code 148.g

[markeltooreal]

Notice how the real news gets no views?

[Sofian]

A gang is like freemasonry for peasants.

[mariogarcia]

Sheriff Villanueva, Needs To Go!!! Then Remove All Gangs In Department!! Then Hire Somebody Like Officer Rhambo To Look Over The Department!!! Then We Can Move Forward!!!! DONT TRUST LASD!!!

[justice_]

Hmmm who runs the gang? Maybe the guy not willing to dissolve it

[KxngEst]

Thank you finally this gets some Press now A bunch of hypocrites

[naPPkay]

Think about it the shoe was on the other foot!

[MrSouthsideMuscle]

Police don't police themselves 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[iktt]

All police need to be checked for and rid all gangs from all force's nation wide this is ridiculous

[tedbrown]

CB says Wow when do people grow up. Mingle with other gangs . You should be catching the bad guy's.

[joestorres]
