LA District Attorney plans to 'severely downsize' or dissolve Hardcore Gang unit
FOX 11 revealed the plans Tuesday, citing sources in DA George Gascón's office The sources said the Hardcore Gang unit could be dissolved by April For over four decades the unit has been tasked with prosecuting the city's most serious and violent gang-related crimes Prosecutors said overhauling the unit would have major negative consequences on the city as it weathers a troubling surge in crime But Black Lives Matter activists praised the idea, saying the unit has a history of abuse against people of color and low-income communities
