There were no immediate reports that the officers shot Saturday night are associated with the cops or the police station in Gonzalez’s claims.Įarlier on Saturday, protesters converged on the South Los Angeles location where LASD deputies shot and killed Dijon Kizzee, a Black man who officers stopped while riding a bike for what was immediately described as a “bicycle code violation.” Witnesses to that shooting reportedly blamed the LASD for overreacting. One whistleblower LASD deputy recently brought attention to what the Los Angeles Times reported as “a band of deputies with matching tattoos that wields vast power at the Compton station” and “celebrates deputy shootings.” Austreberto Gonzalez, the LASD deputy who filed the claim against Los Angeles County, said the cops in the alleged gang - called The Executioners - each have “tattoos of a skull with Nazi imagery and an AK-47.” The claim also alleges that the Executioners’ “members were involved in setting illegal arrest quotas and threatening work slowdowns - which involve ignoring or responding slowly to calls - when they did not get preferred assignments.” That was especially true for the LASD’s police station in Compton, which is blocks away from the Metro Blue Line station at Willowbrook Avenue and Compton Boulevard where the deputies were ambushed Saturday around 7 p.m., according to ABC News. In fact, the LASD has been the subject of numerous recent reports of corruption in addition to alleged abuse of deadly force when it’s not warranted. However, the Los Angeles Times reported “that sheriff’s detectives on Thursday shot and killed a man in Compton who they said opened fire on them as they served a search warrant.” The circumstances surrounding the shooting were not immediately clear. LASD Sheriff Alex Villanueva said both deputies shot in the ambush - described as “a 31-year-old mother of a 6-year-old boy” and “a 24-year-old man” had been sworn in a little more than a year ago.
