CBSLA Reporter Laurie Perez talked to residents who say they are not surprised with the new details from the Los Angeles Police Department Inspector General report, which said that officers ignored advice from experts on how to handle the tons of illegal fireworks that the department seized.
“This confirms what the community already knew. They didn’t care. They did not care and that’s why they did this,” Ron Gochez, a South LA community advocate said.As a result, the big stash exploded, injuring 17 residents and 10 first responders.
“It’s not just gross negligence, but criminal negligence when one of the most senior agents from the bomb squad was telling the rest of the LAPD it was a bad idea. That it was dangerous,” Gochez said. “And they just disregarded one of the most senior agents because this is South Central LA.”“You see that building, there’s nobody there,” Hector Sanchez, a South Los Angeles resident said. “The other house there, the first house right there, it’s completely destroyed.
