L.A. Council to hear opinions about Special Order 40
Report them all
After months of stalling by Councilman Jack Weiss, his Public Safety Committee is armed and ready today to face angry supporters of Jamiel's Law and Special Order 40 who will get support Monday from tough guy former LAPD Chief Daryl Gates.
Talk radio show hosts Doug McIntyre and Kevin James along with mayoral candidate Walter Moore took up the cause of the family of high school football player Jamiel Shaw Jr. after he was gunned down in South Los Angeles in a senseless murder last spring, allegedly by an illegal immigrant gang member who had been released from county jail hours earlier without federal authorities being notified of his status.
For months, Weiss resisted pressure from the community and Councilman Dennis Zine, a retired cop, to hold a hearing on the Jamiel's Law proposal and the LAPD's policy on illegal immigrant gang members arrested on criminal charges but finally relented in early September to hold Monday's hearing.
