And downs, this man is a criminal best friend. It is not fair, please just it is not fair. Please just get this man out of here not only joined the criminal but engaging in crime in the criminal enterprise. There is no problem. His name is George Gascon Ainsley. That last speaker has joined victims, pushing to remove LAS Da George Gascon over criminal justice reforms. The sheriff joins us now. The sheriff joins us now. Thank you for joining us. What is your biggest issue of having district attorney?
It is not reconcilable with the need the victims of crime totally in opposition. It is all to the benefit of criminal offenders. Eliminating use of a firearm in commission of a crime eliminating multiple victims. Take the death penalty off the take the death penalty off the table and state after state, not just because of the crime itself, will not hold a predator accountable for the actions Ainsley. Your officers are trained in a certain way and you have to retrain them all and tell them what the new laws say.
We will keep doing what we are doing and we will prevent and investigate crime and go to the district attorney and the district attorney will issue these rejections. They are not going to file the charter and also people on this side fighting with police. He raised the stakes and made or threatening all the time. How long has he been in that position? December of two thousand and twenty two and a December of two thousand and twenty two and a half three months out Ainsley. Let me review the stats in LOS Angeles homicide, comparing twenty million two hundred and twenty two thousand and twenty one up.
Eighteen aggravated assault, two hundred and sixty five shootings up two hundred and sixty seven. If you are raising a family in that area, that is pretty scary. What do you expect in the future? With this guy in office Gascon the year twenty twenty was a pandemic. We saw thirty six percent increase in homicide, the first two months of twenty twenty one we have seen one hundred and seventy percent increase homicide and the trends are going in the wrong direction and mister wrong direction, and Mister Gascon is trying to pushes further and a bizarre idea that locking people up and holding them accountable for violent crime somehow increases recidivism and he keeps citing science and data. When I say there is no data that shows bad
things, Sean to the West Coast, it was Sean to the West Coast, it was very powerful and they felt he was more pro criminal than the victims themselves. This is a statement. Releleased T us the minority victims, what the maximum punishment imposed. In their case, these views are not shared by majority of survivors. They dont find healing by putting another person in a cage. Additionally, studies show accepted sentencing processes leading to more victims of crime, which our system of justice cant continue to rely on policies that create more victims tomorrow, because the minority of victims, the maximum punishment imposed in their case today.
In your experience in law enforcement do most victims. Families say let them out soon. We dont want them to be behind bars. That is utter nonsense. The person who bankrolled George Gascons race for district attorney at the same time, unseating african, american, female and George Soros. The research about injustice, very slick very well done very slick. Very well done. It is not peer reviewed. The victims are quite the the victims are quite the opposite: Ainsley four dollars million in outside money to run his campaign. Good luck with the recall! I know you have to get five hundred and eighty thousand
signatures, one hundred and sixty days to do that. That is up to the victims.
