For decades, police have been putting forth the 'broken windows theory' - that visible signs of crime will encourage more crime.  Now it is time to apply the broken windows theory to the police themselves. We must address every small police transgression so it doesn’t lead to a police officer committing more heinous acts. Police have not been held accountable for racial bias and excessive force, which has encouraged more incidents of racial bias and excessive force.
 
Los Angeles, at its best, is a city of opportunity, a place that shines brightest when every community can thrive. Our city government has long aspired to deliver on that vision - but we cannot get there unless all people feel safe.
 
That’s why I am running for Los Angeles City Attorney, to bring real accountability to the LAPD, push for progressive and pragmatic reforms, take on corruption wherever it exists, restore trust to the office, and ensure a safer city for all of us. Join me, and together let’s bring accountability to the LA City Attorney’s office and ensure justice for all.
