Black Lives Matter Los Angeles organized weekly protests to show support and stand with the families of those killed by police.
One rally cry from these protests was “Jackie Lacey must go.”
According to LAist, BLMLA protested outside Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey’s office for three years.
The group demanded Lacey step down from her position and accused her of not prosecuting the people involved in the more than 600 killed by law enforcement in Los Angeles county.
