Protesters blocked the entrance to a Los Angeles County emergency room early Sunday morning after two cops were shot while sitting in their vehicle.
The crowd chanted, “We hope they die,” according to LA County Sheriffs.
“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,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said on Twitter. “People’s lives are at stake when ambulances can’t get through.”
A deputy issued a dispersal order for the unlawful assembly where people were blocking the hospital entrance, and one male protester refused to comply. While officers were attempting to arrest the man, a female member of the “press” interfered with the arrest and was also arrested, the LA County Sheriff’s Department said.
According to the LA County Sheriff’s Department, one male and one female deputy were sitting in their car when an attacker ambushed them and shot them several times.
A video showed the attacker approaching the vehicle and opening fire unprovoked.
