EDITORIAL: King of the Jerks Strikes Again – Sheriff Raids Home of Supervisor Kuehl
L.A. County’s current sheriff, Alex Villanueva, has struck again. The man we have previously named “King of the Jerks” served search warrants on Wednesday morning to 81-year-old County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and a sheriff’s citizen’s oversight commissioner, Patti Giggans. The corrupt to the core sheriff’s office claims the raids were part of an “ongoing investigation” into a contract given to Giggans’ domestic violence nonprofit several years ago. But anybody with any sense for this thuggish sheriff knows it was an effort to bully and intimidate leaders who question his embarrassing tenure as the county’s top cop.
Beverly Hills Council Opposes County Supervisor’s Measure to Oust Sheriff

Sheriff Villanueva: King of the Jerks
He fooled a great many of us. Campaigning for Sheriff in 2018, Alex Villanueva talked up his Democratic registration and campaigned as a reformer, saying one-term Sheriff Jim McDonnell hadn’t succeeded on a number of fronts, including reforming our jails and weeding out bad actors in the department. He even said he would no longer allow the department to collaborate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), intended to add more than 800 deputies to fill out the department, and that we couldn’t solve crime by simply adding more jails.
