A gang of sheriff's deputies called the "Executioners, has "permeated" a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department patrol station and has engaged in civil rights abuses against the public, according to a claim filed with county officials last week.

Austreberto Gonzalez, a sheriff's deputy and a Marine Corps veteran, worked at the Compton patrol station for five years where the gang wielded outsized influence, according to the claim obtained by Fox News. He claims the members ink themselves with tattoos featuring Nazi imagery, a laughing skeleton and an AK-47. The gang celebrates deputy shootings and threatens work slowdowns when given unpreferred assignments, according to the claim.

"The gang controlled the scheduling, and therefore even having a sick child that needed nonstop medical care was secondary to making sure the gang members got their preferred shifts," Alan Romero, an attorney representing Gonzalez in his claim against the county, told Fox News in a statement. "This was a practice that punished all patrol Deputies that either refused to join the gang or otherwise resisted the gang’s far-reaching influence at the Station."

1. Thank you for this post, my dear Beaverhausen.

The LA Times has been following this story too, and it gives me chills.

I'm not sure what should be, or can be done, but obviously this culture must be eradicated.

They are not serving the public.

7. Someone on a local Facebook group pointed this out to me regarding last nights shooting...

... of two deputies. She wondered if this is payback for this rogue group of cops.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Perhaps Worse...

...it was the rogue cops hitting a couple fellow cops who weren't cooperating and talking about filing a complaint.
Given the article, it doesn't seem impossible.

5. Hey, if Faux "News" is running stories about out of control violent cop culture

That represents a significant sea change from the tRump “rough them up a little” law and order mentality they usually support. Doesn’t make them any more reliable, but it’s an interesting shift...

3. Fox News broke this??? nt

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. No, there were reports on it last week.

[sarisataka]

13. The fox story

is 6 weeks old

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. Nice catch.

26. No

The LA Times did.

6. It's a feature...not an anomaly

here's something from 1991

Deputies in ‘Neo-Nazi’ Gang, Judge Found : Sheriff’s Department: Many at Lynwood office have engaged in racially motivated violence against blacks and Latinos, jurist wrote.
By HECTOR TOBAR
OCT. 12, 1991 12 AM
TIMES STAFF WRITER
A federal judge has concluded that many Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies at the Lynwood station routinely violate civil rights, are motivated by “racial hostility” and use “terrorist-type tactics” with the knowledge of their superiors.

U. S. District Judge Terry J. Hatter Jr. issued the written finding this week in support of his Sept. 23 order that the Sheriff’s Department abide by its own use-of-force policies. The order was temporarily blocked by the U. S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which will decide whether Hatter has the power to supersede Sheriff Sherman Block’s authority over the Lynwood station.

In unusually strong language, Hatter found that a “neo-Nazi, white supremacist gang” of deputies--the Vikings--exists at the Lynwood station with the knowledge of department officials. “Policy makers” in the department, Hatter said, “tacitly authorize deputies’ unconstitutional behavior.”

The judge’s findings are directly at odds with how department officials have characterized the Vikings, which they say is a harmless social group.

9. The 2 policeman who were shot,

are they tied to the group of rogue cops?

[tblue37]

10. Or are they people who resisted them? nt

[Hekate]

12. You pose an excellent question nt

[duhneece]

22. I'd love to know the background nt

[Hekate]

11. Los Angeles Times has reported on this more than once. It's chilling as hell. nt

[sarisataka]

16. So people should shoot cops?

Maybe they are part of the group but if they aren't, well FTP and ACAB so fire away?

Is the solution to the injustices done by police simply to start shooting cops?

[Mr.Bill]

19. Maybe a cop did the shooting.

Or the shooter was working for the cops.

[tenderfoot]

24. Where does the article mention that?

eom

17. I'd like to see continued in-depth reporting on this serious issue. nt

20. One reporter was arrested

23. America's Zetas, waiting in the wings . . . .

Remember the Zetas? They had been members of Mexico's special forces.

Then they figured out that they could make one hell of a lot more money working for the cartels, and then they became a cartel.

And, well, it's not like we don't have a lot of mercenaries and other Blackwater-style organizations sloshing around in the mix . . .

27. With that tattoo, they'll be easy to find

There's only one way to solve this: after Biden is elected and has gotten rid of the Trump sycophants in the US Marshals Service, call all the deputies into two high school gymnasiums (one for men and one for women) at the same time and have them remove their uniforms. Anyone who has the "Executioners" tattoo gets arrested for federal civil rights violations.
