The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said protesters attempted to block and enter the hospital where two shot deputies were taken.
“To the protesters blocking the entrance & exit of the HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM yelling ‘We hope they die’ referring to 2 LA Sheriff’s ambushed today in #Compton: DO NOT BLOCK EMERGENCY ENTRIES & EXITS TO THE HOSPITAL. People’s lives are at stake when ambulances can’t get through,” the department wrote on Twitter.
A person who captured footage of the hospital incident in Los Angeles showed activists near the facility. “I want to deliver a message to the family of the pigs: I hope they [expletive] die,” one is apparently heard saying.
Videos on Twitter show that the agitators appear to identify themselves as “Africa Town Coalition” members, as they walk toward the hospital before threatening officers there. Some of them shouted anti-police slogans.
The 31-year-old female deputy and 24-year-old male deputy underwent surgery Saturday evening, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said in a late-night news conference. Both graduated from the academy 14 months ago, he said.
The deputies were shot while sitting in their patrol car at a metro rail station and were able to radio for help, the sheriff said. Villanueva, whose department has come under fire during recent protests over racial unrest, expressed frustration over anti-police sentiment as he urged people to pray for the deputies.
The department posted a video of the shooting that shows a person open fire through the passenger-side window of the patrol car.

“The gunman walked up on the deputies and opened fire without warning or provocation,” the department stated.
President Donald Trump reacted to the incident on Twitter, writing that the perpetrator and others like him are “animals that must be hit hard!”
“This cold-blooded shooting is unconscionable and the perpetrator must be brought to justice,” Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden wrote on the social media site. “Violence of any kind is wrong; those who commit it should be caught and punished.”
Just when you think the “peaceful activists” could not stoop any lower....
There is no limit to their evil, it seems.
Oh geez, you scared me! I thought that was TODAY.
Where are the cops helping these peaceful demonstrators to leave?
Just shoot the bastards. Why are we treating these vermin with kid gloves?
ha! i was going to say, if we could just shoot 1 or 2 the rest should gtho.
Bastards!
Demon-rat political leaders are just as evil for letting the violence continue.
Anyone still think that no matter what happens in November... We're in for another Civil War?
Yeah... Me too. BLOAT and keep your will up to date.
"Either leave... Or please line up for the morgue in the line to the left..."
There will be riots, no matter who wins. If Old Slow wins, they’ll riot in celebration. If President Trump wins, they’ll riot in anger. Just look at what happens after any sport finale in winning and losing cities.
Keep your powder dry.
They need to be put down like the rabid animals they are.
The hubris is astounding. The see themselves as completely empowered. There is a C. S. Lewis quote on this but it escapes me.
Sharpton is trying to these scumbags are plants by our side. They might as well be because any reasonable person will be repulsed by this.
The Trump campaign commercials just keep on writing themselves.
Not sure how to get through to these animals.
Maybe, if they or a loved one was rushed to the hospital via ambulance, and a gaggle of nimkompoops obstructed the fire responders, then maybe they could learn????
Only if they are brave enough to use them!.....................
I was just discussing this event with my leftist brother - who claimed that “right wing extremists” were just as bad as the vermin in Compton. I challenged him to show me where “right wing extremists” are blocking ambulances or laughing over the bodies of leftists, and all he could do is mention “mass shootings” - which, I guess, he figures are all done by “right wing extremists.” Or something.
I didn’t bother to tell him that if there really WERE militias full of angry “right wing extremists” out there, these leftist pukes would probably be feeding worms right now.
