Video catches Los Angeles sheriffs in lie about events outside hospital where ambushed cops were recovering

The LA County Sheriffs Department has been caught in a series of lies about their arrest of KPCC Josie Huang, who was reporting outside of St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood where the two police officers shot in an ambush were taken.
Two LA County deputies were shot and are in critical condition after their patrol car was fired on by an individual captured on video. While sitting outside of a metro station in Compton, an individual can be seen in the video approaching the car and firing shots. One deputy got out of the vehicle to pursue the suspect, then the video ends.
Both deputies sustained multiple gunshot wounds and underwent surgery at a local hospital, said an ABC7 report. They were described as alive but in critical condition.
The heartbreaking story took a turn, however, when the officers were recovering at a nearby hospital. The LA County Sheriffs department tweeted that there was a huge crowd of protesters blocking the hospital entrance and chanting, we hope they die.

(95,247 posts)A police officer's word is worthless in any case where police violence is involved. Nothing an involved officer, or the department the officer works for, should ever be taken as true unless backed up by testimony of witnesses independent of the police. In which case the officer's testimony is not necessary.

(81,512 posts)There wasnt a huge crowd of protesters. No ambulances were blocked. There were no chants.
Police then claimed that when they were arresting one protester, a woman rushed up to the scene with a cell phone camera in hand. She never identified herself, they claimed, but later they found out she was a press-member.
That turned out to be a lie as well. After the reporter was released from jail, she uploaded the video in which she repeatedly identifies herself that as a member of the press. Another video captured the moment where Huangs press credentials can be seen hanging around her neck, showing that she was media.

and so now will become part of the official narrative, just like the stories of hippies spitting on returning Vietnam vets (that never happened).
Even Dead Intern Joe got into the act, tweeting a furious denunciation of the protesters before seeing the videos and deleting his tweet. Hes shocked shocked! that the WSJ editorial page would publish lies. Has he been asleep the past few decades?
