The majority of LASD shootings in past 5 yrs were by stations riddled with #LASDgangs:
1) East L.A. (Banditos)
2) Compton (Executioners)
3) Century (Regulators, Spartans)
4) South LA (Grim Reapers)
5) Lancaster and Palmdale (Cowboys and Rattlesnakes) #GoogleLASDgangs
The East LA Banditos are known for planting weapons & evidence. Anthony Vargas was murdered by Banditos prospects who claimed he was armed. However, none of Anthony’s DNA was found on the alleged gun. Listen to Anthony’s family speak out in #GoogleLASDgangs by @GravelInstitute
After murdering their loved ones, members of @LASDHQ gangs like the Banditos and Executioners relentlessly harass families who speak out against them to demand accountability. Check out this important piece on deputy gangs. #LASDgangs#GoogleLASDGangs https://t.co/7oZdf4SRm5
#LASDgangs have emerged in Black & Latinx areas, adopting white supremacist ideologies & imagery.
In 1990, the Federal Court described the Lynwood "Vikings" as “a neo-Nazi, white supremacist gang.”
The "Executioners" tattoo/symbol is a skull w/ a Nazi helmet #GoogleLASDgangs
Who are #LASDgangs? @cerisecastle’s reporting uncovered 18 deputy gangs - Banditos, Buffalo Soldiers, Cavemen, Cowboys, Executioners, Grim Reapers, Jump Out Boys, Regulators, Spartans, Tasmanian Devils, 3000 boys, Vikings, Wayside Whities to name a few #GoogleLASDgangs
.@LASDHQ is full of violent, white supremacist gang members. More than 80% of LASD shooting victims in the past 5 years were Black and Latinx.

#LASDGangs & the failed leadership of @LACoSheriff would not be in the national conversation if it weren't for the families who have lost loved ones to sheriff violence. We’ve come this far because of their bravery & permanent quest for justice #VillanuevaMustGo#GoogleLASDgangs

1 year ago today, 18yr old Andrés Guardado was shot in the back and killed as he ran away from deputy Miguel Vega, who has since been fired for his reckless conduct in a different incident involving another teenager. No Justice has been served and @LASDHQ continues to protect him
