In 2016, LAPD SWAT officer Gabriel Gaxiola was arrested for DUI while driving a department-issued SWAT vehicle. Even had an open beer. In 2022, he was arrested again after crashing his car while drunk. He is still an LAPD officer. Read the story on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/filmthep...

LAPD Deputy Chief details officers coming to scene where ICE injured an innocent man. The Deputy Chief is then abruptly stopped and discontinued his presentation. Is the LAPD protecting ICE?

For the first time, the LAPD admits their officer was in the law-enforcement gang.

Karen Bass’ LAPD provides Fox News reporters with privileged access denied to other journalists

Dozen LAPD cops pulled guns and ordered an innocent Uber driver out of his car. Why? Because a cop entered the WRONG license plate into their computer. The LAPD admitted they messed up but refused to hold the cops accountable for this unlawful stop. open.substack.com/pub/filmthep...

Bumped into the corrupt LA City Councilman Curren Price.

Confronted Congressman Ted Lieu and Congresswoman Judy Chu for voting to honor Charlie Kirk.

Karen Bass has nominated someone that dresses his family in IDF uniforms to be on the LAPD Commission. The IDF has no oversight or accountability. Why would we want someone who idolizes them to oversee the LAPD?

LAPD Commission Meeting: My complaint against the Chief was scheduled for closed session discussion. I let the commission know if they don’t sustain it I’m coming to their community to shame them. If you don’t like it, then complain to DA Hochman. He can get some, too.

Confronting Karen Bass over her HYPOCRISY. Her officers commit the same abuses she condemns in Trump’s police.

Confronted Karen Bass about her Hypocrisy. She criticizes Trump’s cops for doing the same thing her cops do.

LAPD sergeant Vazquez falsely claimed press are NOT exempt from dispersal orders — a direct violation of both California law (PC 409.7) as well as a federal restraining order. He said the federal restraining order “didnt matter right now.” He then refused to ID himself.

Asked LA Deputy Mayor Zach Seidl if the mayor has anything to say about the LAPD violating the federal restraint order. His response: “I don’t believe so”

Help my guy out if you can.

Greetings all! I absolutely hate doing this, but I’ve been unable to successfully work or process invoices for the majority of the last several weeks due to a fractured rib sustained during a protest on August 8th. I could use some help. www.gofundme.com/f/help-sean-...

LAPD Commission Meeting: Confronted the Police commissioners about staying silent for two months as the LAPD violated a federal restraining order.

If the L.A. mayor won't control them, then she is no better, or worse, than Trump

Video evidence shows LAPD officers attacking media which violated state law, a court issued restraining order, and disregarded the department’s own policies. open.substack.com/pub/filmthep...

Hi everyone! I’ve unfortunately been diagnosed with a likely rib fracture from the hospital. Likely it occurred on Friday, August 8 during a protest where I was in the middle of asking for a PIO/supervisor. As is clear in the video, I waited for a moment for a break in the line moving forward.

The City of LA got sued because LAPD officer Esther Eunhae Lee hit a pedestrian. We just settled for $885,000. More LAPD liability payments that are crushing our City’s finances.

LAPD Media Policy: “An LAPD News Media Identification Card is not required to be considered a member of the media. If the individual is acting in a manner consistent with gathering, receiving, or processing information for communication to the public, they should be considered media.”

Another LAPD domestic abuser. How was this cop allowed to keep their job? - Pushed and slapped complainant, causing visible injury. - Physically assaulted complainant. - Pushed complainant. - Sent complainant inappropriate text messages.

The LAPD doesn’t answer to judges. They never have and never will. The LAPD answers to the mayor and LAPD Commission. That’s it. If you’re unwilling to get them to act, then nothing will change.

Blatant corruption by Councilmember Curren Price: “[T]he city’s housing authority and LA Metro paid Price’s wife more than $800,000 total at the same time Price voted to award the agencies multimillion-dollar contracts.” LA City is the most corrupt big city. Worse than Chicago.

Los Angeles, CA - I still don’t understand what being brought this on. LAPD Captain Hurtado went up to the driver of the vehicle, in the process an officer shoved me. A bizarre line with some shoving. Again, I’m not sure what brought this on: the union folks agreee to keep moving.

Some video from earlier, multiple journalists bloodied in the scrum. This is just 90 seconds of over 10 minutes of extremely aggressive LAPD response tonight

The press freedom crisis in America isn't only billionaires bowing down at big outlets like CBS, the Post. In L.A., elsewhere, indie journalists at protests are getting beat up or arrested by cops, a chilling sign of an authoritarian U.S. police state My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/los-...

On the bright (?) side, my wonderful colleague @jwhendricks.bsky.social snapped this great still of us from last night’s absurdity. What else do you do but throw a shiteating grin to your friends when you’re being arrested? Lol

10 journalists were put in cuffs and/or violently assaulted by LAPD on Friday night. @willbunch.bsky.social wrote his Sunday @inquirer.com column about what this means for press freedom nationally. My description: “Utter lawlessness by the LAPD... they seemed thirsty to crack skulls.” Gift link:

Here’s the moment LAPD ordered media along with protestors against the wall, despite requests for a supervisor as well as reminders that PC409.7(b) specifically exempts media from dispersal orders. Never made contact with a PIO. didn’t speak with a supervisor for a very long time after being cuffed.

LAPD Detective charged with 75 counts for filming men’s genitalia at Anaheim stadium bathroom takes plea to avoid jail time. After completing mental health counseling, his record was wiped clean. open.substack.com/pub/filmthep...

Rick Linton - Out of Control LAPD Cop: open.substack.com/pub/filmthep...

Meet ex-LASD deputy Richard Lee Sullivan! As a gang detective, he sexually assaulted women facing lengthy sentences & lied about it. LASD was going to fire him in 2012, but then let him resign. Sullivan became a parking cop & has been with LADOT since 2013, currently as a supervisor.

Why is an indicted member of LA City Council on the ‘public safety’ committee?

8:51am: Confronted LA Mayor Bass about her corruption:

Confronting Karen Bass over her illegally deleting her wildfire texts to avoid public records requests.

Catching up with @filmthepolicela.bsky.social at LA City Hall. Karen Bass appears, and Gude yelled “why’d you delete your texts Karen?”

LAPD Commission with comments about the LAPD refusing to sustain a complaint when a cop was caught on tape calling me a “Black Fool” after I caught him making an unlawful search. www.latimes.com/california/s...

"It is understandable that Officers release some stress by using improper language in private places such as their vehicle." Translation: "It's totally OK if LAPD officers are racist, as long as it's kept inside their patrol cars."

Emailed the LAPD Chief to find out if it’s acceptable for a cop to call me a “Black fool” after I caught the cop making an unlawful search. Cop was suspended for the search, but LAPD says calling me a “Black fool” is non-disciplinary. I want to know if this is still policy.

Made a video about LAPD Jamar Butler. He harassed two guys having a conversation in the parking lot outside of a gym. He claimed they were loitering, but that requires being someplace where they don’t have business w/intent to commit a crime. Having a convo is not a crime. youtu.be/SAP0jFYyM78?...

Made a video about LAPD cop Jose Rivera Jr. He used to drive around while *off duty* harassing me in his own (illegal) truck. I got him suspended. youtu.be/_2gOkc_bzvg

LAPD Asst Chief Al Labrada may have been keeping nude photos on his LAPD issued work phone.

LAPD officer Philip Ruiz has a history of harassment, stalking, domestic violence and sexual assault. He even told his ex he was going to kill her and her boyfriend. Yet the LAPD refuses to fire him: youtu.be/vuhcsRmrPjk?...

This stalker is a current LAPD cop: “He pulled her to the side and began yelling, "I just want to talk to you, you tramp! Why are you here with another guy?" … Ruiz reached down and grabbed her crotch area and stated, “Fucking ho."” Isn’t this a crime?

LAPD officer battered a man that was handcuffed and had his legs bound. Then the LAPD conducted a multi-level coverup to protect the officer: youtu.be/LFJTluawdSU?...

Meet the “Candyman” Daniel Lujan. Cops gave him that name while working in the LAPD Rampart CRASH unit in the late 90s/early 2000s because he was known planting drugs on arrestees. He was also well known for brutal beatings. As of 2023 he was still employed by the LAPD. youtu.be/LPv45r-Cqms?...

The LAPD Commission interviewed Al Labrada for the Police Chief job while he was *suspended* and about to be *fired* for stalking and sexual harassment. They said they did it as a courtesy to Labrada. What about the courtesy to his VICTIM to not interview this predator.

Video about shady LAPD cop Ralph Campos. Ralph is also an LAPD union director, as well as the treasurer of the union. He uses that position to self-deal business to his company. He LOVES shady financial dealings. youtu.be/7P_Dm-_8e3o
