In reply to the discussion: L.A. Protesters Try to Break Into Hospital Where Two Officers Are in Critical Condition [View all]npk
(3,660 posts)77. Never said that there were not a "handful" of protesters outside, but...
Breitbart and several other right wing rags have tried to push the idea that protesters were violently trying to break in to the ER and were blocking ambulances from getting to the hospital, and actual real news outlets have proven that to be complete bullshit.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/compton-police-shooting-everything-know-162039234.html
Sheriff Villanueva called the handful of people heckling officers who guarded the outside of the hospital an unlawful assembly of a group of protesters who are "blocking the hospital emergency entrance and exits. Journalists video from the scene does not appear to show evidence that the entrance and exits were blocked.
And Villanueva is a lying piece of shit. A small number of people heckling officers and one right wing plant shouting "we hope they die" is not even close to what the actual evidence shows and what was being distorted and fabricated by the likes of Breitbart earlier was nothing but another said attempt to discredit BLM.
