      ​@@Comeon-no6jo He is currently the Interim Chief of Police, so the Acting Chief of Police and is still assigned as the "Assistant Chief of Police" in the LAPD, until he or another Officer takes the position of the Chief of Police. Unanimously appointed by the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners, Choi is the first Asian American to lead the Los Angeles Police Department.
      Quote from the LA Times: "Choi also has the backing of Bass, who stopped by the Hancock Park party for long enough to address the crowd, quipping that she had tried to “twist his arm and say, ‘Don’t go for the interim, go for (the permanent) chief.”
      However, he has made it clear he’s not in the running to take the reins permanently. City officials said they expect the hiring process to continue through August, at which point Choi will step down and likely resume his previous position as assistant chief."

      So glad we have that open border.
      And that makes it so sickening when Chief Moore was standing behind the mayor and supporting him as he was bragging about L.A. being a sanctuary city.
      These Chiefs and Sheriff Lee Baca supporting the sanctuary city status and looking the other way at many of the crimes of the illegal aliens, then having the Fing nerve to show up at hospitals and news conferences, funeral services, etc. playing like they are heartbroken at the loss of one of their officers.
      They want it both ways. So sickening and phony.
      I can't think of anything more shallow and disgusting.
      Please, please, DON'T go to the hospital or talk to the families to try to show your "concern and sympathy".
      If you had any respect at all for them you would never talk to them, never contact them and never mention the name of their lost loved ones again.
      It's the least you a do after being an accessory to the death of the officers.
