Beverly Hills votes to remove liberal LA DA

 Washington Examiner:

The city of Beverly Hills, still smarting over the home invasion murder of a beloved celebrity, voted unanimously Tuesday to support the recall of liberal Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon.

Even though Beverly Hills is 71% Democratic, the city was one of the first to give Gascon a vote of no confidence last year. Then, as the robberies, assaults, and home invasions mounted during Gascon’s first year, the shooting death of philanthropist Jacqueline Avant was too much to bear.

“Beverly Hills Vice Mayor Lili Bosse stressed that without consequences for crime, we have Gotham City. Her sentiments were shared by others on the council as well,” said Karen Roseberry, spokeswoman for Recall Gascon Now.

Approximately 80 people pleaded with the city council to support the recall. Gascon’s recall effort is spearheaded by crime victims, former District Attorney Steve Cooley, and Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, a Democrat.

...

Villanueva says Gascon's soft-on-crime policies have hurt the morale of his deputies, who have watched their suspects walk free from jail. He is also trying novel approaches to circumvent Gascon, such as assigning detectives to attend the parole hearings of people convicted of murder after the reversal of a long-standing DA policy to advocate keeping prisoners deemed dangerous behind bars.

...

What Gascon and other progressive prosecutors call reform has been a disaster for crime victims across the country.  They all should e removed.
