Impacted Families of Police Killings in OC Call on State Attorney General to Investigate DA

VoiceOfOC
The families and friends of Orange County residents like Hector Hernandez, David Sullivan and other people who have been killed by law enforcement, are outraged by Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer’s reviews of police killings.

In Orange County, those reviews side with police in every case.

And that makes some residents wonder.

They, along with community members and groups like Chispa and the ACLU SoCal, gathered outside the District Attorney’s office in Santa Ana on Friday to call on State Attorney General Rob Bonta to conduct an investigation of his own.

They want a review of Spitzer’s office and his conclusions on the killings.

“Today we stand in strong solidarity with the families across Orange County and California that have lost a loved one to police violence. This happens too often in Orange County,” said Jennifer Rojas, a policy advocate with the ACLU, at today’s protest.
