The Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon has just announced he’s hired an anti-cop former public defender to run his entire office.

Tiffiny Blacknell, who has been a proponent of defunding police, will be Gascon’s chief of staff.

NEW: Per sources in LA DA office, DA George Gascon just announced former public defender Tiffiny Blacknell will be promoted to his chief of staff. Blacknell has called for abolishing prisons & defunding police. She called LAPD “barbarians” & an “occupying army”, & said “cry me a river” re: looting in LA. She will now oversee the largest prosecutorial office in the country.

He quotes this tweet of hers:

He continues…

I previously reported that Blacknell was also involved in an alleged secret “sweetheart” plea deal offer of 7 years to a suspected gang murderer behind the backs of the prosecutor & victim’s family. The deal fell apart after judge found out about it.

And lastly…

Here is the post in which Blacknell admits she was a looter in 1992 and tells those complaining about looting in Santa Monica & West Hollywood during the riots over the killing of George Floyd to “cry me a river”.
