Former Los Angeles Chief of Police Charles Beck on Friday said he was rescinding his support of accused soft-on-crime District Attorney George Gascón, who is facing a second recall effort.Beck, who served as chief from 2009 to 2018, said he’d backed the DA during the 2019 campaign “on the hope he would advance public safety in Los Angeles and because of our close personal relationship of over 30 years.”“After observing the negative effects of his policies and practices on public safety, I am compelled to rescind that endorsement,” Beck said in a statement.
