Los Angeles City Council candidate says ‘F the police’

A Los Angeles City Council candidate, Ysabel Jurado, faced criticism for saying “F— the police” during a meeting with college students. She defended herself, stating that it was a lyric from a song and that she is committed to public safety. However, the LAPD and LAPPL expressed disappointment and frustration with her remarks. Jurado is running against Councilmember Kevin de León, who also faced backlash for racist remarks made in a leaked recording in 2022. The incident has sparked controversy and protests, with calls for accountability and change in local government.
