The Los Angeles specialist Hardcore Gang unit has been disbanded because it is offensive to the community in a move branded a suicide pact amid rising homicide rates in the city.
For over four decades the Hardcore Gang Investigation Unit has been tasked with prosecuting the city s most serious and violent gang-related crimes.
But the County District Attorney s Office has decided to downsize and rename the unit which has been praised by BLM activists but criticized by prosecutors.
The office will be decentralized under plans by DA George Gascon with specialist officers transferred to other units despite its 700 active cases.
