Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission Meets To Discuss Handling Of Protests, Shootings

The Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission is meeting now to discuss how the department has handled public protests, and resolutions condemning violence and supporting an independent investigation into fatal deputy shootings.
The commission will also discuss a report on the Sheriff's Department's efforts to contain COVID-19 in the jails.
Our public safety reporter Frank Stoltze is covering the meeting.
Testimony this morning at @LACountyCOC that the commission should pass resolutions condemning when #LASD deputies shoot people - including #DijonKizzee - not just when deputies are shot. @KPCC @LAist
