Lacey, the city’s first African American woman to serve as district attorney, has been criticized by left-wing activists for not prosecuting enough police officers and also not advocating sufficiently for policies and change on behalf of black people.
“We wanted to be open to thinking about how can we allow her to be a more progressive district attorney and act in the interests of Black people as a whole,” Melina Abdullah, a professor and local Black Lives Matter leader, told CNN of the organization’s approach to the district attorney. “When you have somebody who is Black, it doesn’t always mean they carry the interests of all Black people.”
Back in early March, Abdullah and a group of Black Lives Matter activists showed up to Lacey’s house, the morning before her primary election, and held a protest. When Abdullah stepped onto their front porch, allegedly to speak with the district attorney, Lacey’s husband pulled a gun and demanded she leave. He has since been charged for the incident.
Despite the new endorsement, Garcetti hinted that he was having second thoughts about his endorsement of Lacey earlier this year, telling The Appeal in an interview in June that it “may be” time for change at the district attorney’s office.
[This June,] Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) dropped his endorsement of Lacey in a tweet in which he called for “an end to systemic racism” and criminal justice reform. In the tweet, he said his previous endorsement of Lacey no longer carried “the same meaning” as when he made it.
According to a conservative news report, social justice advocacy groups, including Black Lives Matter, recruited Gascon to come to L.A. and he met with the co-founder and key strategist of the Black Lives Matter global network, Patrisse Cullors, about the move south. The same media outlet reported the recent $1.5 million Soros donation to Gascon this week.
Besides promising to imprison fewer criminals than L.A. County’s current prosecutor, here is why leftists want him in charge; Gascon helped craft two state measures, Proposition 47 and Proposition 57, that benefit hardcore criminals under the auspice of “criminal justice reform.” Proposition 47 decriminalizes drug and theft offenses by reducing them from felonies to misdemeanors. Proposition 57 grants serious criminals such as rapists, human traffickers, child molesters and drive-by-shooters early release from prison. Gascon’s campaign is a perfect example of outside special interests controlling traditionally non-partisan races, according to the Association of Deputy District Attorneys (ADDA), the professional group of deputy prosecutors in L.A. County. “Special interest groups, funded by George Soros, pumped millions of dollars into district attorney races across the county,” the group’s president writes on its website. “Their mission was to use Soros’s wealth to radically reshape the criminal justice system.”
