THE POLICE IN LOMITA ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. Lomita (Spanish for “Little hill”) is a city in Los Angeles County, California with an estimated population of 21,000. The five largest ethnic groups in Lomita are White (Non-Hispanic) (37.9%), Asian (Non-Hispanic) (14.7%), Other (Hispanic) (14.5%), White (Hispanic) (12%), and Two+ (Non-Hispanic) (8.32%). The City of Lomita contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for its police services. Those deputies who patrol the streets of Lomita deploy out of the Lomita Sheriff’s Station, located at 26123 Narbonne Avenue, Lomita, California. That agency has had its problems with deputy gangs running certain Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department stations for well over 50 years. These deputy gangs in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are not social clubs. They are real deal street gangsters with badges; no joke. Some of these deputy gangs, like the East Los Angeles Station’s “Bandidos” and the Compton Stations “Executioners” actually required prospect gang members to murder a civilian on the job to be admitted to those deputy gangs. This is not Black Lives Matter propaganda; this is reality. See, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Civilian Oversight Commission Report, March 3, 2023 (“The Commission recognizes the existence of deputy gangs and cliques in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and acknowledges it is a significant problem that requires a proactive and multifaceted response”); ‘They are a cancer:’ Deputy gangs still operating within LA County sheriff’s department, report says, KABC 7 News, March 3, 2023; Gang Members Hold Positions at ‘Highest Levels’ of LA Sheriff’s Department, Investigation Reveals, Reddit; CJLP Releases Report on Impact of L.A. Deputy Sheriff Gangs, Loyola Marymount School of Law. In 2021 the State of California banned gangs in California police agencies by the enactment of Cal. Pen. Code § 13670, that provided that all California police agencies ban officer gangs within their department. However, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has done nothing to dissolve these deputy gangs within that agency. See, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Legal Compliance: Deputy Gangs, February 26, 2024; LA’s Sheriff Says He’s Banned Deputy Gangs. After My Son’s Death, How Can We Trust Him?, The Appeal, Oct 23, 2024; Sheriff Alex Villanueva is Obstructing Attempts to Eradicate Deputy Gangs from the LASD, Loyola Marymount School of Law; Report: Gangs have taken control of LA sheriff’s department | Banfield, NewsNation; The Murderous Police Gangs of Los Angeles, The Gravel Institute. These deputies gangs in the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department has in large part been a response to having to battle criminal street gangs in Los Angeles County. See, List of criminal gangs in Los Angeles, Wikipedia; STREET GANGS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY: A WHITE PAPER, U.S. Department of Justice; List of gangs in Los Angeles County, HipHop Database. Lomita has its own criminal street gangs, such as Lomita 13, an affiliate of the Mexican Mafia. See, Lomita 13 Gang Member Sentenced to 35 Years to Life, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department; Lomita is also home of the Harbor Lomas street gang and the Lomita Maravilla (LMV) street gang. Because of this rampant deputy gang and criminal street gang problem in Lomita, many law-abiding citizens are treated like criminal street gang members when they are stopped by deputy sheriffs for de minimis traffic violations. This happens every day. In fact, if you are reading this webpage you probably have already experience this. 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.
