The vice president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League (PPL) advised police officers to seek employment outside the city during unsuccessful salary negotiations with the city government.
Jerretta Sandoz, the PPL’s vice president, made the statement in a now-deleted comment on her personal Facebook page in late June. Sandoz expressed her belief that the Los Angeles City Council was biased against law enforcement.
According to a screenshot of the comment obtained by the Los Angeles Times, Sandoz wrote, “Go somewhere that respects the work you do and you don’t have to beg for a great contract. Go somewhere that has a city council or city manager that openly acknowledges the great work you do, go somewhere that doesn’t have two or more City Council members who hate you (no exaggeration).”
