On May 8, 2004, LAPD Police Chief failed to show up at the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, where a rally was held for David March, murdered by Armando Garcia who fled to Mexico. Bratton had previously confirmed that he would attend the rally as a quest speaker but failed to show up. Speculation has it that when Bratton got wind of a planned demonstration against him, he chickened out.
Flyers were handed out protesting Mayor Hahn's support for Special Order 40, the police mandate that allows alien criminals to escape justice by simply crossing the border to Mexican sanctuary.
Mayor Hahn who has said that "Los Angeles is a Mexican City" is part of the problem. Instead of kissing up to the Mexican government, Mayor Hahn should be demanding the extradition of the 360 murderers who fled L.A. County to find sanctuary in Mexico.
