L.A. Council Candidate Faces Backlash for 'F*** the Police' Remark

Ysabel Jurado's controversial comment during a college event has drawn criticism from police and her political opponent.

Ysabel Jurado, running against Councilman Kevin de Leon, quoted a controversial rap lyric during a meet-and-greet at California State University, Los Angeles.
Interim LAPD Chief Dominic Choi criticized the comment, stating it undermines the dedication of officers and harms community-police relations.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League labeled Jurado's remarks as immature and potentially harmful to public safety.
Jurado defended her statement as part of a broader conversation on systemic injustice and emphasized her commitment to public safety.
The incident has intensified the ongoing debate over police funding in the city, with Jurado advocating for reallocating police budget to other services.
