A veteran prosecutor of the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office is accusing D.A. George Gascón of retaliation and playing politics after he says he was reprimanded and punitively transferred for questioning Gascon’s order to drop a case against three anti-police protesters who were charged with attempting to wreck a train.

Now, FOX 11 has obtained surveillance video and a jail call recording from one of the defendants that raise questions about Gascón's decision to drop the entire case against all of the protesters on his first full day in office, and the prosecutor who was handling the case is going public with what he says happened behind the scenes. 
 
"You go into work every day, and you do the right thing, that’s what I did, and I got reprimanded for it," said Richard Doyle.

Doyle has been a prosecutor in the L.A. County DA’s office for the past 34 years and had no blemishes in his personnel file until last December when Gascón ruled him insubordinate his first week in office. 
 
"To the office, I think it sent the message of, you follow my orders, or else," Doyle said. 
 
At the time, Doyle was the head deputy district attorney in the Compton office and he was prosecuting this case against three anti-police protesters, Emanuel Padilla, Christopher Berg and Jasmine Lomax, all of whom had been charged with trying to derail a train at a protest near the Compton Sheriff’s Station on November 15. 
 
"It was a strong case, it was a strong prosecution," Doyle said.

Gascon was an anti police neurotic zealot in San Francisco. The voters knew what they were getting when they elected him in LA.
What surprises me is that people act surprised by what he is doing in LA

Yup. It is like buying a pet skunk and then complaining when you get sprayed.
