THE POLICE IN GRANADA HILLS ARE “THE BADDEST GANG IN TOWN”.
Granada Hills is a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region , of Los Angeles, California. Granada Hills is located at the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains, north of North Hills, Northridge, west of Mission Hills and Sylmar, and east of the Porter Ranch neighborhoods of Los Angeles.
The population of Granada Hills, CA is around 55,000 to 64,000 with figures varying with the source and their varying defined boundaries of the area. The demographics of Granada Hills are White: 55.5%, Hispanic/Latino: 20.6%, Asian: 16.3%, Black: 3.4% and Other: 4.2%.
Granada Hills has a relatively large Asian community that is largely Filipino. One of Granada Hills largest criminal street gangs is composed of mostly Filipinos, and is known as the “Real Pinoy Brothers” gang.
Other criminal street gangs in Granada Hills are affiliated with the other larger criminal street gangs that permeate the San Fernando Valley such as the
The Valley has more street gangs than any part of Los Angeles partly because it is also the largest geographic area of the City of Los Angeles, and also as the “turf sizes” of these criminal street gangs tend to be smaller. There are only a few black gangs in the entire area while there are over 40 Hispanic gangs.
Because the LAPD Officers who patrol the Granada Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles have to deal with these criminal street gang members on a daily basis, they often end up treating those law-abiding citizens who they are there to protect, from those gangsters that they are there to protect them from.
Accordingly, when these jaded LAPD Officers who have adopted the “We’re the baddest gang in town” mentality contact basically law-abiding citizens they often treat them like street gang members.
When that happens those basically law-abiding citizens often will verbally protest or verbally challenge those undeserved police orders or actions; conduct that has long been held to be constitutionally protected conduct. As U.S. Supreme Court William Brennan held so eloquently in holding that a City of Houston, Texas Municipal Ordinance that criminalized “interfering a police officer in the performance of their duties:
“The Houston ordinance is much more sweeping than the municipal ordinance struck down in Lewis. It is not limited to fighting words nor even to obscene or opprobrious language, but prohibits speech that “in any manner . . . interrupt[s]” an officer. The Constitution does not allow such speech to be made a crime. The freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.” City of Houston v. Hill, 482 U.S. 451 (1987), Brennan, J.
When those innocents then verbally protest or verbally challenge police orders or actions, the innocent civilians are then deemed to be in “Contempt of Cop”. See, The “Contempt of Cop Game”; How Well Can You Play?, steeringlaw.com. When that happens, the innocent law-abiding citizens are often beaten or tased or pepper-sprayed or even shot, and thereafter falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted. This is no joke. This is reality in Granda Hills.
IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF POLICE MISCONDUCT, JERRY L. STEERING CAN HELP YOU ACTUALLY ENFORCE YOUR RIGHTS BY WINNING YOUR CASE.
The only thing that matters when enforcing your rights, is whether you win your case. If you don’t win your case, then you have no rights because you have no way to enforce them.
Just because the police violated your constitutional rights doesn’t mean that you can do anything about it. In order to “do something about it”, to enforce your constitutional rights, it takes a great deal of experience, insights, skill and savvy. You need a unanimous jury of usually 8 jurors to vote in your favor in federal court to win your case. If you mouth-off to the cops or don’t do what the police tell you to do or cuss out the cops, or act like a jerk, one or more of the jurors in your case may not vote for you. That is the reality in which we all live.
