Former @LASDHQ Undersheriff Timothy Murakami admitted yesterday that he had a Caveman deputy gang tattoo.
He also said he knew about a deputy gang at the station he supervised as captain, and never investigated.

I’m here at Loyola Law School where former Undersheriff Timothy Murakami is testifying about deputy gangs for the @LACountyCOC. Murakami fought a subpoena to testify for about two years, and arrived an hour late this morning.
