We were never big fans of ex LAPD Chief Charlie Beck. He was just....strange. And that moustache.....
These hacks are all connected to each other in one way or another. Beck and George Gascon have a work history of over 30 years.
Charlie Beck supported Gascon for DA.
Beck released a statement today turning his back on Gascon. Why now? What changed? We can only speculate...
This hack Charlie Beck gave Gascon quite a tongue bath while endorsing him two years ago. Check out the youtube video.
Here is what Beck said today:
I based my support for the election of District Attorney George Gascón on the hope he would advance public safety in Los Angeles and because of our close personal relationship of over 30 years. After observing the negative effects of his policies and practices on public safety, I am compelled to rescind that endorsement. I have spent the majority of my life protecting and serving the people of Los Angeles and the men and women of its police department. I believe they would be made safer and be better served by a District Attorney that emphasizes the rights of victims and the safety of our police officers.
Remember, words are cheap. Let's see if Charlie Beck campaigns to get rid of Gascon, or is this just a cheap press release?
