Liberal California DAs living in ‘woke palace,’ insulated from crime spikes: LA County sheriff

The sheriff for Los Angeles County spoke out Tuesday night on “Fox News @ Night,” claiming the work of law enforcement officers in the state was being undermined by liberal policies by some district attorneys.

"There’s nothing ‘knee-jerk’ about it. It’s just common sense," Villanueva said. "This person just does not get it and I’m sorry to hear that. But you know what? He has a responsibility to have – if you want to do reform, that’s great. No one argues about reforming any system of government.  " I think the old-fashioned ‘having people suffer the consequences for engaging in crime' means something.

"But when you fly in the face of common sense, the fact that we have in our county, L.A. County … I have a 92 percent increase in homicides in two years. I have a 16 percent increase in grand-theft auto. I have a ‘zero bail’ schedule, which means every person I catch with a stolen car gets a ticket, walks out of jail … in fact, they’re out of jail before they’re even done writing the report, the deputies.
