Let me be clear - no one is above the law. Not a politician, not a priest, not a criminal, not a police officer. We are all accountable for our actions.
I got to grow up with a mother who taught me to believe in me.
We're smoothing over Los Angeles one pothole at a time,
We're going to try new things, folks, ... That's what leadership is all about.
What a great actor and what a committed human being, ... For years, he's used his fame for the purpose of developing new talent and providing positive role models for Latinos.
Chief Bratton and I are committed to providing a police department that's transparent, accountable and inclusive, ...

Today we get to celebrate football in Los Angeles.
We're a community built for the Olympic Games. We have world-class sporting venues and we have a history of success,
Our community knows the difference between rhetoric and results. They know the difference between pandering and producing.
