Los Angeles, America’s second largest city, has a horrible secret. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department – the fourth largest police department in the country – harbors dozens of criminal gangs within its ranks. These LASD gangs have been involved in assaults, the creation of false evidence, and even murder. Now, with the help of the brave journalist Cerise Castle, the story can be told. A Gravel Institute documentary.

To raise money for more investigative reporting on gangs within the LASD, we're selling a shirt. You can buy it at googlelasdgangs.com – all proceeds go directly to Cerise Castle, who is working on the ground to expose the racist, thuggish gangs harbored within the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.

Google "LASD Gangs"! And go to LASDGangs.com to read Cerise Castle's reporting yourself.
