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.
