Tucker Carlson Tonight: “We Don’t Want Biden... We Want Revenge.” If you thought Joe Biden's inauguration meant the end of fascism in this country, we have some bad news for you. It turns out fascism is still alive and well. And it's highly concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. Last night, in Portland and Seattle, Antifa members once again attacked Starbucks -- and then turned their attention to the headquarters of the Oregon Democratic Party. Check out this interview with Jason Rantz.

At least 18 secret subgroups have operated within the L.A. Sheriff's Department over the past 50 years, according to a report by Loyola Law School's Center for Juvenile Law & Policy. Some have operated as "deputy gangs," encouraging violence against local residents, jail inmates and even fellow deputies who challenge them, according to the report.

The report, which cites reporting done by KPCC/LAist, identified 11 "deputy gangs" and seven "subgroups." Some have tattoos, hand signals, and rituals that are similar to a criminal street gang, it said.

Many of the groups "foster a culture of violence and escalate uses of force against community members," said Loyola Law School Professor Sean Kennedy, who led the study and sits on the L.A. County Civilian Oversight Commission, the watchdog group for the agency. The department has "a longstanding, broad institutional problem in need of serious reform," he said.

Some of the groups, including one comprised of Black deputies, appear to have been more benign, the report said.

The Sheriff's Department said in a statement that it is "aware of the non-peer reviewed report containing non-academically acceptable citations and unproven allegations as a primary basis for content," adding that the report would "extrapolate anything that would be helpful."

Villanueva "was the first and only Los Angeles County sheriff to ever successfully implement a policy banning the formation and participation in cliques and sub-group," the statement said.

Ron Hernandez, the president of the Association of Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs, told KPCC's Larry Mantle that he wore the tattoo of one of the groups but that it engaged in no wrongdoing. He would not say which group. Nonetheless, he favored the elimination of all subgroups within the department.
