While little is known at this point, the vitriol of the far-left towards police officers is hard to ignore at this point. Not only have far-left Democrat voters been campaigning for police departments to be defunded, but protesters also went out of their way to block the entrance and exit of the hospital emergency room chanting things like “we hope they die.”
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.
