Should LA County Probation Chief resign? A commission says yes after watching video of boy pinned by several officers.
A citizens’ commission overseeing problems in Los Angeles County’s Probation Department called for resignation of department Chief Adolfo Gonzales on Thursday, Feb. 23, after watching a video in which probation officers pinned a 17-year-old boy facedown on a bed and bent his legs while he cried for his mother.
The Probation Oversight Commission disagreed with that decision, voting 5-2 to recommend that Chief Gonzales be fired. Removing Gonzales takes a majority vote of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. On Friday, two supervisors released statements agreeing with the commission’s recommendation, nearly sealing the fate of Gonzales. No date has been set for a vote.
