The Los Angeles Police Department launched an internal investigation after an officer reported that a photo of Floyd with the words "You take my breath away" in a Valentine-like format was circulated among officers, according to a newspaper report. Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said Saturday that investigators will try to determine how the image may have come into the workplace and who may have been involved, the Los Angeles Times reported. AdBen Crump, an attorney for Floyd's family, said Monday that the family is outraged. The Times reported that Moore also confirmed the department is investigating two anonymous Instagram accounts reportedly linked to department personnel — including one called the “Blue Line Mafia.”

LOS ANGELES – Police Chief Michel Moore called for calm in the streets Friday after what he called a spasm of gun violence in South Los Angeles killed four and wounded 19 wounded in the past six days as the city has recorded nearly 40 more homicides so far this year than last year. “This is a pace of shooting and violence that we've not seen in years,” Moore said as he and community leaders condemned the crimes. The city as a whole has recorded 39 more killings and 101 more shootings to date compared with last year. Moore blamed the COVID-19 pandemic for fueling the violence because of the economic turmoil it has caused while also giving people few outlets for social contact. A week ago, she met with mothers of murder victims and heard “countless stories" of children no longer with them.

City officials will identify as much as $150 million to slash from the Los Angeles Police Department budget of nearly $2 billion. There are a lot easier jobs than being mayor of Los Angeles, Garcetti said during a briefing Tuesday in which sirens could be heard wailing outside City Hall. Then, beginning in mid-March, the virus took hold, prompting the mayor to issue a stay-at-home order that remains in place.
