Listen Later

Hayes, Rachel, Mike, and LA Pod producer Sophie Bridges discuss the ongoing political soap opera over the firing of LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley and lament that deeper questions are getting lost amid the drama. Plus, a big victory for LA County tenants, and more evidence of racism in the LAPD.

Mayor Karen Bass fired LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley, then Crowley appealed her dismissal

Crowley’s appeal vote, originally scheduled for last Friday, has been changed to Tuesday, March 4

Libby Denkmann's deep dive into sexism, harassment and retaliation in LAFD in 2021 is important context for the events that led to the appointment of Crowley in 2022

Listen to the LA Podcast episode from 2021 detailing the allegations 

The Keep LA Housed coalition organized to win tenant protections in LA County and is gearing up to change the formula landlords use to hike rents

Community Coalition’s Alberto Retana shared his thoughts about the attacks on Bass, and called on Angelenos to focus on the real villains who are exploiting the crisis: billionaires.

Four LAPD officers are being investigated for "allegedly making racist and sexist remarks while working with new officer recruits,” according to the LA Times

Putting on his professor hat, Mike recommends commentaries and op-eds about racism in the LAPD by civil rights lawyer Connie Rice, and abolitionist essays in the New York Times and The Atlantic
