Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper launched a blistering attack on Gov. Gavin Newsom and California lawmakers over the state’s approach to crime, accusing them of failing victims and dragging their feet on reforms backed by voters. Speaking in a wide-ranging interview with KCRA 3’s California Politics 360, Cooper said state leaders have not done enough to tackle crime, criticizing policies surrounding mental health diversion, domestic violence and the rollout of Proposition 36.
