LAPD Officers Admitted Jermaine Petit Wasn't Holding Gun Before Shooting Him - Knock LA

The Los Angeles Police Department identified Sergeant Brett Hayhoe and Officer Daryl Glover, Jr. as the shooters of 41-year-old Jermaine Petit in Leimert Park on July 18. Body worn camera shows that both officers admit Petit was not holding a gun before shooting him. Glover is the son of Los Angeles Police Protective Leagues Vice President Jerretta Sandoz. She is the union director of the LAPD division her son is assigned to. In this role, one of her responsibilities is defending police officers who shoot people like her son.
Sandoz wrote in an LAPPL blog post that releasing videos recorded on body-worn cameras could cause civil unrest if the video is graphic or controversial. She wrote an online rant titled, Releasing BWV [Body-Worn Video], Are You Kidding Me? arguing against releasing body-worn videos. In the rant, she celebrates LAPPLs negotiations about delaying footage releases for 90 days. Her piece also celebrates that the negotiations resulted in no penalties for officers who did not activate their BWV devices, so long as they write an explanation. Later, LAPDs policy for BWV release was updated to 45 days and the 45-day policy was made California state law after the hearings, which Sandoz condemned.
Sandoz was quoted in an August 2020 LA Times article regarding a small uptick in complaints against LAPD officers, stating her concerns about increased levels of demonstrably false complaints. In 2019, less than 10% of all complaints were sustained, meaning the department found the complaint valid. Many sustained complaints end up being thrown out after an appeal process touted by LAPPL. Sandoz even said she believes those making unsustained complaints against officers should be prosecuted.
In October 2020, Sandoz and fellow LAPPL director, Robert Harris, made a PowerPoint presentation at a virtual town hall organized by the Police Advisory Committee. In it, she argued that LAPDs disproportionate number of arrests of Black people in Los Angeles are justified. If the LAPD arrested the 13,485 black violent crime suspects does that mean the LAPD is biased against black Angelenos? The answer to that is no, she said. The numbers dont lie.
