When I heard that a swarm of Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies executed early morning searches at the homes of L.A. County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and Patti Giggans, executive director of one of the oldest anti-domestic-violence groups in the country, I realized county Sheriff Alex Villanueva has gone off the deep end.
Does our embattled lawman really think such a transparent attempt to intimidate his critics is going to rescue his sagging bid for reelection in November? ("NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW" he trumpeted on his Instagram feed under a photo of Kuehl with her hands up as deputies escorted her from her house.)
If I were his opponent — as retired Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna is — I'd be doing handsprings.
