Black Lives Matter-endorsed mayoral candidate GinaForLA said she wants to eliminate the LAPD, which she dubbed a white supremacist organization, according to reports.
Viola has jumped into the race to replace Mayor Eric Garcetti, who is termed out and hoping to secure an ambassadorship to India. Other candidates are Rep. Karen Bass , and real estate mogul Rick Caruso, who changed his party affiliation to Democrat to run in this election.Viola’s anti-police stance is at odds with the climate in Los Angeles, where a bipartisan coalition is almost certain to have enough signatures to force a recall election against District Attorney George Gascon.
Caruso is running on a platform of cleaning up the city’s homelessness and crime, but Viola said she sees that as a racist endeavor. Caruso’s camp fired back by saying more policing brings down crime and helps low-income neighborhoods.
