LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council passed on the opportunity to override Mayor Karen Bass’s recent veto of a proposed ballot measure intended at changing the disciplinary process for Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers—including expanding the chief’s powers to fire officers for misconduct.
On July 15, Bass vetoed the council’s approval of a measure placing the matter on the November ballot, but the 15-member council could have reversed the veto by lassoing 10 votes in favor of an override.
