Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Garcetti last week authorized plans to cut off the water and electricity supply of those defying public health orders. Under the mayor’s directive, LAPD officers who respond to large gatherings can request that utilities be cut off within 48 hours. “Mayor Garcetti wants to reimagine policing. He should send his civilian staff to turn off people's electricity & cut off their water,” the Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) wrote on Twitter. “He wants to use police officers when it benefits him politically,” Sandoz said of the mayor.
