Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass wants to remove “obstacles” for police applicants who fail the recruitment process and discipline officers in ”right-wing extremist” groups, according to a list of two dozen provisions detailed in a planning document between her office and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).

The three-page document, titled “Los Angeles Police Department Metrics”—first reported by the Los Angeles Times last week and of which The Epoch Times has obtained a copy—was shared with LAPD officials shortly after Bass reappointed Police Chief Michel Moore for a second term on Jan. 31.
