Officials with the Los Angeles police union assailed Mayor Eric Garcetti on Friday for comments he made describing police officers as “killers,” saying LAPD officers have lost confidence in the mayor's ability to lead the city after days of demonstrations over the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
At a news briefing, Los Angeles Police Protective League director Jamie McBride accused Garcetti of "political pandering" and called him "unstable."
“He smeared every single police officer in Los Angeles and across the nation by calling us killers," McBride said.
The union's comments came after Garcetti announced this week that he would seek to cut up to $150 million from the Los Angeles Police Department and put the money toward funding new youth jobs, health initiatives and “peace centers” to heal trauma.
Garcetti’s announcement followed days of pressure from activists, labor unions and community groups and nationwide protests against police violence, including a large demonstration outside his home.

Mayor Greasy Eddy
Please. They’ll endorse him come next election cycle. What a con.
They think they look like visionaries
They are just socialist propaganda panderers
Or maybe not. I’ll take any good news I can get at this point, and the fact that unionized police are finally realizing that they’re being sold our by their political masters is certainly a step in the right direction.
Absolutely. Their union will even contribute to his campaign.
Withdraw protection from the mayor; let the mob have him.
They will seek to fund the $150million toreimburse for police from the state or federal government or from the high-speed rail which was federal government
A “blue flu” would wake a lot of people up right now, even this commie clown of a mayor.
Maybe the unions need to stop supporting Democrats. They don’t care about the union members. They only care about the power and the money.
I am for Garrett resigning because of this attack on our wonderful policemen and women.
Trump told CA. he was not funding the rail any longer AND he wanted the money back that was already funded!!
Garcetti
Had the pleasure of personally thanking dozens of National Guard troops today for their help at the historic Farmers Market and the closed Grove luxury shopping center that was burned and looted by “peaceful protesters” ...
Garcetti - the cupcake mayor - is an incredibly weak, limp-wristed loser... he’s married, but she must be a beard when you see him and hear him speak ... very scary that my safety is partly dependent on this wuss ...
The cops should all quit and let them burn L.A. to the ground.
They should be given a small island not very close to the shore so that work on their utopia. NO ships, no planes. Let them stay there for a year then drop by to see how their dream community is doing.
“Do leftists know just how stoopid they look right now?”

Um. No.
Do they care? No.
As long as they get what they want they’re okay looking stupid.
LOL (I know. You weren’t really needing an answer.) :)
They should switch to the Republican party. Democrats would blow their stacks.
It would be a shame if there were a severe case of blue flu this weekend.
Here in SoCal he’s called Mayor Yoga Pants.
