Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, who released 25% of the jail population to protect the prisoners from coronavirus at the same time as ordering all gun shops to close, has now admitted he is living in fear of a “crime wave” engulfing LA.

Sheriff Villanueva said he’s “doubling up on deputy patrols” due to the expected surge in crime in the wake of the pandemic after he released 4,276 inmates, admitting those people were jailed in the first place for a reason.

LA County Sheriff tells me he has released 4,276 nonviolent inmates from county jail, which equates to 25% of the inmate population. He says it's been effective in preventing spread of #COVID19, with only 11 inmates infected, but now fears a possible surge in crime. 10pm @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/kI7ID8gaG6— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) April 14, 2020

The Sheriff, who boasted the LASD was the first department in the country to order a mass release of prisoners, starting in late February, says it is now unlikely there will be any further inmate releases.

The LA Times reports that the L.A. County Board of Supervisors is taking steps to remove Sheriff Villanueva as the head of the county’s emergency operations center during the coronavirus outbreak, a move he called a “pure power grab at the worst time possible.”

Three supervisors reached late Wednesday said the proposed change is months in the making and stems from the need to centralize disaster operations after a fragmented response during the deadly Woolsey fire, which killed three people and burned nearly 97,000 acres in Los Angeles and Ventura counties in 2018.

But Villanueva said the timing suggests retaliation for his decision to close gun shops during the pandemic, viewing them as nonessential businesses.

“This is pretty much a silent coup, what they’re trying to orchestrate,” Villanueva said. “We should be worried about masks, about test kits, and I have [Supervisor] Kathryn Barger worried about guns and ammunition.” (1 image)

Kings County (Seattle) and NYC have also done so; Others in other states as well (Dem-controlled.)

How and why hasn't the Fed stepped on to stop this insanity?? Kinda disturbing that Trump has let that go.

And who can explain this? And why Republicans are mum on the matter?? We know why CNN, MSNBC and WaPo are silent.

House Democrats, led by Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY), are urging Attorney General Bill Barr to “release as many prisoners as possible” as states work to handle the coronavirus outbreaks in their states.

What does CV19 have to do with unleashing convicts and murderers back into the world to create further havoc?

Do you see an obvious pattern in Dem Commie-Fascist controlled hell-holes run amok? They have declared war on the American people.

What are we witnessing? Yup, 'The Resistance" (aka Sedition and Treason) as promised by Hitlery and her flying monkey minions once Trump beat her for the Presidency.

Open, public lies from newspapers and TV news broadcasters, boasts of releasing criminal & prisoners, giddy public celebrations at Governor Cuomo desk over the lawful, legal barbaric execution of 9 month-old "fetuses," aka BABIES.
