Seven members of a L.A. sheriff’s deputies secret clique that prides
itself on celebrating shootings of mostly Latino and black gang bangers
have been notified they are about to be fired, according to officials.
The secret group known as the Jump Out Boys prides itself on
aggressive policing, much of it in Latino communities, and brands its
members with matching tattoos of a red-eyed oversized skull bearing the
clique acronym and a bony hand holding a revolver.
Smoke is tattooed over the gun’s barrel for members who have been involved in at least one shooting.
Those seven officers aren’t being fired for any known criminal
behavior but apparently for tarnishing the department’s reputation and
unethical conduct at a time when it is struggling through a federal
investigation.
As part of that growing investigation, a criminal grand jury recently
subpoenaed materials about the Jump Out Boys and other deputy cliques.
The seven have been on an elite gang-enforcement team that patrols high violence neighborhoods.
