Law enforcement groups successfully argued that the proposed system would be biased and lack basic due process protections. Removing California from that list was a top priority of the California Legislative Black Caucus and had support from hundreds of entertainers, including Rihanna, Mariah Carey and Robert De Niro. Law enforcement organizations and unions insist they also want a way to permanently remove troubled officers so they can't simply move from one department to another. Six of the nine members would be required to have backgrounds opposing police misconduct, while the remaining three would represent law enforcement. Rejecting some compromise language from the governor, but accepting 40 amendments that drove a wedge further with law enforcement, we think thats what derailed the measure, he said.

Pacino was sat beside fellow Hollywood legend Robert De Niro, who he has reunited with for Martin Scorsese's mob epic "The Irishman," out this month.

Robinson eventually quit because "she could no longer endure the hostile work environment," according to the lawsuit.

"De Niro's treatment of Ms. Robinson was inappropriate, demeaning, abusive, and intolerable, and he needs to be held accountable." "He does not care that gender discrimination in the workplace violates the law. Ms. Robinson is a casualty of this attitude."
