Alcocer isn't the only cop involved in the bombing who has since been promoted. The bomb unit was overseen by David Kowalski, now a deputy chief leading LAPD's campaign to acquire robot dogs.
We exposed Kowalski's lies to City Council earlier this year:
LAPD’s claim that they could be trusted with this military surveillance robot relied heavily on their track record with their arsenal of sUAS (drones). Specifically, the department claimed they had not modified their drone policy since 2019. This was a lie.

The case was filed by
