The top police union in Los Angeles is calling for a formal investigation into claims by the president of the City Council that he was pulled over for being black — despite details emerging that he had actually been stopped for driving recklessly in a school zone. The Los Angeles Police Protective League is calling for a probe Marqueece Harris-Dawson, 56, raising questions about whether he tried to use his position to avoid a traffic citation, and whether outside contacts played a role. In a letter sent Thursday morning to City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto and the LA District Attorney’s Office, LAPPL President Ricky Mendoza pointed to what he described as a “disturbing picture” surrounding the March 4 traffic stop near an LA high school during morning drop-off.
