L.A. Police Union Blasts DA For Failing To Charge Pelicans' Jaxson Hayes

A big LAPD police union is going scorched earth on the Los Angeles District Attorney after he decided not to charge New Orleans Pelican's center Jaxson Hayes with a felony, following his arrest in July where he fought cops...

"George Gascon's latest criminal's first airball puts a target on the back of every police officer in Los Angeles," the Los Angeles Police Protective League tells TMZ Sports.

The LAPPL -- which reps over 9,000 cops in L.A. -- continued, "Gascon's refusal to prosecute Jaxson Hayes for violently attacking and injuring an officer during his n-word laced tirade is nothing more than a declaration that it's open season to attack cops and it's shameful."

The union is livid that Gascon's office decided against charging Hayes with any felonies ... despite the fact he seemingly pushed an officer on video.

FYI, Gascon is a polarizing figure. His critics have accused him of being soft on crime ... and failing to protect law enforcement officers.
