L.A. council candidate takes heat for saying 'F-- the police' while discussing LAPD spending

The candidate running to unseat Los Angeles City Councilmember Kevin de León faced sharp criticism on Monday for saying “F— the police” at a recent meet-and-greet with college students.

Ysabel Jurado, running in the Nov. 5 election to represent neighborhoods stretching from downtown to El Sereno and Eagle Rock, used the phrase while fielding a question about police spending — an exchange captured on a recording.

Jurado’s comment came in response to a questioner who identified himself as a resident of the 14th District.

“As someone who is myself pro-abolishment of police, where do you stand on that spectrum?” said the questioner, who also inquired about De León’s use of discretionary funds to pay for police overtime.
