Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey, who is up for re-election next year, recently spoke to an LGBT political group in trendy West Hollywood where she was ambushed by Black Lives Matter, allied activists, and families of people killed by police.

The protesters showed up at an October 28 meeting held by the L.A. chapter of the Stonewall Democratic Club. Lacey was first advertised to appear at the event as a “guest speaker.” However, the scheduled engagement evolved into an opportunity for the D.A. to respond to a motion presented for a membership vote that night. The resolution called upon Lacey “to take immediate actions to restore trust in her department.”
