Carmen Trutanich is the Los Angeles City Attorney, he has
tried to jail people who sell medical marijuana. He's gone after street artists
and political demonstrators. At a time when most policymakers are trying to
reduce the jail population, Trutanich's impulse is to lock 'em up.
Trutanich is after
even more power, he's running for District Attorney, and if he becomes district attorney, he'll be the top prosecutor
in Los Angeles — able to launch his own investigations, influence policy and
punish people with long prison sentences.
Neither the Los Angeles city attorney nor the City Council
has the right to ban activity that is protected under state law.
If you want to see for yourself how Trutanich is taking away
people's medicine, please take two minutes of your time and watch the video below.
