A reporter who reported on allegations Villanueva was involved in covering the abuse of an inmate is apparently now under criminal investigation.
Hours later, Villanueva—who is up for reelection—clarified his remarks in response to what he called an"incredible frenzy of misinformation being circulated."
He wrote in a tweet:"I must clarify at no time today did I state an LA Times reporter was a suspect in a criminal investigation. We have no interest in pursuing, nor are we pursuing, criminal charges against any reporters."Author and investigative reporter Thomas Peele tweeted:"This is an incredibly brazen attack on the free press. All journalists must stand behind @AleneTchek and the right to report on government abuse. @LACoSheriff Villanueva is unfit for public office.
"Villanueva has proved himself again and again to be an anti-democracy militarist politician posing as a peace officer," commentator Keith Olbermann tweeted. "He needs to be removed immediately, and criminally prosecuted. The @LASDHQ has been totally corrupted by this one rogue cop. He has to go."Villanueva has proved himself again and again to be an anti-democracy militarist politician posing as a peace officer. He needs to be removed immediately, and criminally prosecuted.
