Another black eye for Sheriff Baca
The Justice Department says that deputies assigned to the Antelope Valley Sheriff's Station repeatedly violated the civil rights of African Americans and Latinos.
By The Times editorial board5:00 AM PDT, July 3, 2013
The latest insight into the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is as dispiriting as it is familiar. For years — decades, even, for those who remember the Kolts Commission in the early 1990s — one outside group after another has concluded that lax discipline, poor supervision and inattentive management have allowed problems within the department to fester, sometimes erupting in violations of civil rights. And here we are again.
After a two-year investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice has concluded that deputies assigned to the Antelope Valley Sheriff's Station repeatedly violated the civil rights of African Americans and Latinos, especially those in federally subsidized housing. The report describes how deputies subjected residents to unconstitutional stops and seizures, relied on racial profiling and resorted to excessive force. In one instance cited, a deputy "punched another handcuffed woman in the jaw while three other deputies held her down."
Sheriff Lee Baca's responses to this and previous critiques have been revealing and disturbing. In 2011, he criticized the FBI for failing to notify his office about a cellphone "sting" in the Men's Central Jail, and instead of helping federal agents investigate wrongdoing, he suggested that they had committed a crime. Later that year, when confronted with reports of violence in the jails, gang-like deputy cliques and inmate abuse, he blamed his underlings for failing to inform him of the problems. Now, as he insists that his deputies do not discriminate or engage in excessive force in the Antelope Valley, it's hard to believe him.
Baca knows better than to resist calls for change. In the jails, for instance, he has implemented three dozen of the 60 recommendations made last year by the Citizens' Commission on Jail Violence, including hiring an expert to run those perennially troubled facilities. And he has agreed to reorganize the department, created a separate custody career track for deputies who want to work in the jails, and installed cameras as a way to track and deter excessive use of force by deputies. What remains troubling, however, is his ongoing failure to address serious problems before they are publicly pointed out to him. The department was repeatedly warned by Special Counsel Merrick Bobb that something was very wrong in Antelope Valley, yet Baca did nothing.
The problems identified by the Justice Department, like those in the jails, are fixable. They require better supervision, as well as a willingness to discipline, fire and prosecute deputies who violate rules and laws. And they demand a response from Baca.
