Los Angeles’ Democrat Mayor Eric Garcetti responded to protesters who gathered near a hospital treating two sheriff’s deputies over the weekend after they were shot in an apparent ambush, saying their actions were “abhorrent.” Officials, meanwhile, said the two deputies are out of surgery.
“There’s no place in civilized society for anybody to draw an arm and to shoot our law enforcement officers that put their lives on the line,” Garcetti said in an interview on Sunday when he was asked about protesters who gathered near a medical facility where the deputies were being treated. Some of the protesters cheered for the deputies’ deaths and chanted Black Lives Matter slogans.
