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.
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.
I mean… Isn’t the LAPD under him…?
Should the LAPD not be backing the protestors if the LAPD report to the local authorities?
I think it’s more nuanced than that. Police should be allowing people to protest peacefully.
LAPD is trained to keep people safe when it comes to protesting.

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