“The importance of unsealing the six tapes was further illustrated in an op-ed by Miriam Krinsky, founder and executive director of Fair and Just Prosecution and Alex Busansky, the president and founder of Impact Justice, who wrote of the effect of the videos, particularly the July 4, 2022, head slamming video.
In their op-ed, the twosome wrote about the effect of the videos on their perspectives, even though both Krinsky and Busansky are each very familiar with conditions in the LA County jail system and other problem-plagued custody systems, because, among other things, they were both part of the Los Angeles County Citizens’ Commission on Jail Violence (CCJV), which as readers may remember, was charged with investigating — and crafting recommendations to address — the decades-long pattern by certain sheriff’s deputies of using excessive force in LA County’s jails.
Yet, despite their range of experience, and despite the detailed testimony Krinsky and Busansky heard for weeks from department members, former jail detainees, and others during the 2012 CCJV hearings, the twosome wrote that seeing the six unsealed videos shook them in a manner they didn’t expect.”
