UPDATE: protesters attempt to break into hospital where two Los Angeles officers are in critical condition after 'a cowardly' point-blank ambush through patrol car window
At the news conference, Villanueva also expressed his frustration over what he said was a growing trend of unprovoked attacks on police amid rising anti-police sentiment. His department has come under fire during recent protests over racial injustice.
"That was a cowardly act," he said."The two deputies were doing their job, minding their own business, watching out for the safety of the people on the train." He added:"Seeing somebody just walk up and start shooting on them. It pisses me off. It dismays me at the same time. There's no pretty way to say it."In one clip, a man who identifies himself as Kevin Wharton Price of the Africa Town Coalition refers to the injured deputies as"two of America's most notorious gang members.
"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 tweet said."People's lives are at stake when ambulances can't get through."
