Endorsement: Robert Luna for L.A. County sheriff

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : His leadership role in national police organizations has instilled a healthy respect for innovation and an understanding of the mixed feelings harbored by citizens who have a natural inclination to trust and respect police but often find their faith in law enforcement wavering after seemingly endless reports of excessive force, corruption and racism.
49% : Los Angeles County is in need of a law enforcement grown-up to get the Sheriff's Department back on track.
45% : Like many first- and second-generation Latino families, his was split among those who were angry at law enforcement and those, like him, who joined it and tried to improve it.
41% : Sheriff's Lt. Eric Strong has a better grasp than they do of the direction law enforcement must go to more effectively serve the county's people, but he lacks Luna's leadership experience.
