When former LA Police Department (LAPD) chief Bill Bratton talks, people in LA listen.
asserted
people → talk → LA
So when Bratton says Nithya Raman would be making a terrible mistake if she were to follow through on her campaign pledge to fire current LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell, that ought to count.

that → say → McDonnell
Angelenos remember Bratton as the man who cleaned up the LAPD and repaired its relationship with the African-American community.

who → remember → community
Bratton took the extraordinary step of reaching out to Connie Rice, one of the department’s most vociferous critics, and enlisting her to help reform the department.

Bratton → take → department
The LAPD moved toward “community policing” — not Raman’s unarmed “alternatives” to police, but rather a police force that took part in the everyday lives of the people that it was assigned to protect.
asserted
it → move → that
The LAPD also became more diverse, and more reflective of the city it serves.
asserted
it → become → city
Even though LA, like other big cities, exploded in anti-police riots in 2020, in a way, much of the work of reform had already been done.
Bratton has also been the commissioner of police in Boston and New York.

asserted
he → oversee → safety
He is probably the nation’s most highly regarded authority on policing.

But she has never recanted her stated desire to see McDonnell leave ASAP.
asserted
McDonnell → recant → desire
Bratton, who worked alongside McDonnell for years at the LAPD, told The California Post that replacing McDonnell before his term ends in 2030 would be a disaster.
asserted
term → work → 2030
“I can almost predict with certainty… that you will see a potential mass exodus from the LAPD with that type of political posturing and political drama,” he said.
asserted
he → predict → posturing
He also noted that Raman’s rumored pick to replace McDonnell would be radical George Gascón, the George Soros-backed “criminal justice reform” fanatic who lost his 2024 reelection campaign for LA County district attorney by more than 20 points.
asserted
who → note → points
“If she were to bring him or somebody like him into the department, that complicates it even further,” he added.
asserted
he → bring → it
The department needs “stability,” not upheaval, he concluded.
asserted
he → need → stability
Raman’s aim of firing McDonnell goes beyond what even Zohran Mamdani has done in New York City.
asserted
Mamdani → fire → City
While Mamdani’s radical base wanted him to fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, the socialist mayor decided to keep Tisch in her post, which helped shore up public morale.
asserted
which → want → morale
The extremists in the Democratic Socialists of America — Raman’s organization — want a scalp to satisfy their anger against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
asserted
extremists → want → Immigration
But the LAPD — like it or not — does not enforce immigration law.
asserted
LAPD → like → law
Voters should heed Bratton’s warning.
asserted
Voters → heed → warning
And Raman — who could win — should consider changing her mind, again.
