Capt. Christian Granucci, a 31-year veteran of the LAFD, is under investigation by the department's Professional Standards Division after posting a 12-minute video on social media blasting the city's vaccine mandate.

"This is tyranny. This is about freedom of choice," Granucci said in the video. "The department has said that we can seek medical exemptions if we so choose, if we can. That is a pie in the sky. We can even try and seek some kind of religious exemption, but they know they have end-runs around those. The vaccinations will come. And then after that, it will be a booster, and another booster and another booster. When will this end?
