NEW: Los Angeles says phone calls will be FREE for people in jail by Dec. 1!

If this sounds familiar, yes they said they'd do this before -- but this time the motion actually has a deadline + directions to identify funding.

To all Black people who read this: these bastard cops are obviously wrong when they unlawfully arrest us—AND…WE MUST STOP ARGUING WITH THEM. PLEASE. If we remain alive(!) we can always take it up with attorneys later. Yes, I know: whether we comply or not we STILL get killed.

LASD usually goes over budget on overtime by at least $50 million a year.

The #1 reason employees list for why they need to work that overtime is... blank. They just leave it blank.

$50 to $150m over budget per year -- and zero reason listed.

Two more people have died in the LA jails.

The LASD in-custody death toll is now up to 24 this year, including those who died in hospitals and station jails.

Anddd it is up to **19** in-custody deaths in LA Sheriff's Department jails and station lockups so far this year.

The latest, who died today, was 28 and not yet sentenced for any crime.

Today LASD posted the 18th in-custody death for this year, a 32-year-old who died in his cell in the 2800 floor of Men's Central Jail -- the facility that was at one point scheduled for closure earlier this year.

Last week, one deputy accused of being in a deputy gang - commonly known as the Executioners - showed his tattoo in court.

We also saw images of the group's logo printed on office supplies in the station and flag on a deputy's truck. Here's my story:

Let's play a game: Was this written in the LA Times A. 16 days ago, B. 16 years ago, or C. Time is flat and nothing ever really changes.

If you said B (or C) you are correct.

Apparently there is a phone book buried in a copper box in the cornerstone of the Los Angeles Hall of Justice.

Also a personnel list. Because I guess they've literally been burying public records in this city for almost a whole century.

This is from 1925:

NEW: Inspector General Max Huntsman sent letters to 35 deputies Friday, directing them to come in and identify members of the Banditos and Executioners deputy gangs. Deputies must answer, unless they fear self incrimination, Huntsman said.

A few days ago, I reported that LASD had begun investigating a memo accusing the East LA captain of racial bias + retaliation

Now, officials confirm she's being moved to court services. It's not a demotion - but a lateral transfer to a less-desired post.
