    I mean… Isn’t the LAPD under him…?

    Should the LAPD not be backing the protestors if the LAPD report to the local authorities?

      LAPD doesn’t report to the governor, their authority comes through the city so they report to the mayor who does not work for the governor. LASD also does not report to the governor, they report to the sheriff who is elected and does not work for the governor.

      No—I think the only regular law enforcement under the governor are the highway patrol and state park rangers.

      local police would be under the locally voted sheriff sperate from statewide stuff. the only division he wpuld have any remote control over would be the highway police, as that service is a statewide service under the DMV.

        California Highway Patrol has been at these protests doing crowd control so if those are under the governor it would be nice if he used those to help protestors or better yet sent them home.

        • Mostly the CHP has been trying to keep the protestors off the freeways, which is kinda their job. It’s unsafe for everyone, having pedestrians on the freeway. And it doesn’t allow people who think “this is getting out of hand, I was here for a protest not a riot, I’m going to get out of here” to do so. Much less “I picked the wrong day to shop for bargains in the Garment District.”

            I feel like I also saw them just clearing out people on the street at night, although it’s hard to tell with all the different kinds of police there. I also remember CHP being involved with the clearing out of protestors back when the UCLA encampment was happening. So they can definitely be involved with other things so it would be nice to see the governor back his words up with action from any law enforcement he has control over.
