Source Los Angeles TimesThe candidate running to unseat Los Angeles City Councilmember Kevin de León faced sharp criticism Monday for saying "F— the police" at a recent meet-and-greet with college students. In a statement, Jurado downplayed her use of the F-word, saying "it was just a lyric." "Every day, the men and women of the LAPD put their lives on the line to keep the people of Los Angeles safe, and I wish more people valued their sacrifice." The Los Angeles Police Protective League, a union that represents about 8,800 police officers, also weighed in, calling Jurado's comments "nonsensical." _______________©2024 Los Angeles Times.
