L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman has taken steps to quell the narrative of chaos after deploying National Guard troops during protests. He emphasized that unrest was limited to a small area and focused on accountability for those who attacked police. Hochman aims to depoliticize his office and has moved towards a more conventional approach by revoking the progressive policies of his predecessor, George Gascón. His actions have been viewed as restoring normalcy and order in the district attorney's office which struggled with internal turmoil. He seeks to focus on factual context rather than political discourse.
L.A. County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman stated, "What I'm hearing and reading and seeing is a political discourse that I have no interest in engaging in, but one that is misstating what the factual context is on the ground."
Hochman highlighted his commitment to accountability, promising to hold lawbreakers from protests accountable and challenging the narrative that Los Angeles was "under siege."
Since Hochman's election, prosecutors and law enforcement officials reported a "return to normalcy," contrasting the current approach with the previous chaotic tenure of George Gascón.
By repealing nearly all of Gascón's sweeping policies, Hochman is allowing his prosecutors to provide justice more freely, helping restore harmony to a troubled office.
