Dremone Francis, charged with capital murder in the death of a deputy, appeared in court for the first time since posting his $1 million bond, which allowed him to be released from jail last week.

The Democratic Judge Hilary Unger is facing backlash from the police union for not denying his bond initially.

Outside the courtroom, Francis’ attorney got heated and said the police should "go collect evidence" instead of questioning the judge’s decision. He called it "disgusting" that anyone would challenge this.

BREAKING UPDATE: Chief Crowley claims that she did not refuse to conduct an after action report from the fires as mayor bass claimed.

But the LAFD did not have the resources and suggested the department use an already contracted 3rd party to assist with the report.

“Second, on the morning of the fire, I did not send home 1,000 firefighters…Nor did I leave 40 available fire engines on staff”

"It is never the wrong time to do the right thing and to speak the truth, and the truth is that the fire chief should not be prevented from or punished for speaking openly and honestly about the needs and the capabilities of the LAFD."
