Los Angeles County’s new district attorney is coming under attack for the policy changes he announced his first day in office.

He also said that his office would not longer seek the death penalty and would take a less aggressive approach on lower-level offenders.

Attorney Brian Claypool — who represents several child victims of suspects who have been charged or sentenced under special crime enhancements — announced Wednesday that he was heading a campaign to recall Gascón, claiming that the changes being made are illegal and pose a danger to society.

“This is an abuse of power at the most catastrophic level,” Claypool said. “This newly elected district attorney has created a public safety risk in this community.”

He was termed out of San Francisco.

He is a carpet-bagger. He moved to LA to run there.

He is repeating his San Fran actions.

Gascon is an absolute disaster. L.A. residents are in big trouble as crime will shortly explode.

I throw up my hands at this point at the gross stupidity of voters here.
Jackie Lacey wasn’t perfect, but she was a million times better than this...well, I can’t say the proper words to describe him or I might be given a time-out.
