These DA's were put in place specifically to create chaos. More on that later this year.
From Los Angeles Magazine:
Gascón Recall is Being Funded by Hollywood Power Players
Once dismissed as a Trumpist sideshow, the campaign to recall the controversial DA is being bankrolled by a surprising list of progressive donorsThe first attempt to recall Los Angeles district attorney George Gascón—a grassroots effort led by right- of-center law-enforcement boosters and MAGA activists—went down to resounding defeat last year, without fanfare.
But according to early returns from the fundraising effort obtained exclusively by Los Angeles, a new recall attempt against the controversial D.A.has been rapidly gaining steam—with help from some deep-pocketed Democratic donors and Hollywood grandees.

He also banned cash bail, which he and many critics of the practice believe is unfairly onerous for lower-income suspects.
The list of early contributors to the campaign to oust Gascón, obtained exclusively by Los Angeles and not yet released to the public, includes Orion Pictures co-founder Mike Medavoy and his wife, socialite Irene Medavoy; supermarket magnate and President Clinton confidant Ron Burkle; President Biden’s pick for ambassador to Norway, Holmby Hills media-real-estate billionaire Marc Nathanson; Hillary Clinton bundler and Pacific Palisades real-estate baron Jordan Kaplan; and Malibu-based developer of malls and condos Richard Weintraub and his wife Liane....
