Two Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies were shot Saturday near a train station in what Sheriff Alex Villanueva called an 'ambush.' Villanueva said at a press conference that both deputies are out of surgery and remain in critical condition.

A screen grab from a security camera video released the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows a gunman walking up to sheriff's deputies and opening fire without warning or provocation in Compton, Calif., on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020.A screen grab from a security camera video released the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows a gunman walking up to sheriff's deputies and opening fire without warning or provocation in Compton, Calif., on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020.

"This is just a sober reminder it's a dangerous job. Actions, words have consequence," Villaneuva said. "And our job does not get any easier because people don't like law enforcement," he added, referencing the nationwide protests against police violence that have been taking place since May, following the police killing of George Floyd.

No coverage of the leftist terrorists protesting outside their hospital?

Big surprise you didn’t condemn the shooting

NPR, blm and the Dems has made it open season on our brave police men and women with half truths and lies. Their blood is on your hands.

Where is LA Mayor ?

BLM is responsible

Horrible! This has to stop. I hope they catch whoever committed this cowardly act. 🤬

Good news for GOP Senate re-election campaigns. Vote Republican or this is what happens when someone else wins.

When BLM chants, 'Kill the cops', we should take them at their word.

Good cop cover-up bad cops action so good or bad cop kill ed are bad cops😗

Terrible Development USA comptoncity Compton MyCup BobMarley MusicIsTheAnswer 🙉🙈🙊

Maybe they shouldn't have been wearing clothing that matches the description of a gang.

Nice job ignoring the mob outside the hospital

'Mostly peaceful protesters' then blocked the ambulances with the wounded deputies from getting medical help while expressing their hope the deputies 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. What the hell is happening to us..to America?

Whoever writes you headlines should be deported to Iran and declared a western spy and have Iranian justice mete out its sentences

These assassins aren’t Trump voters. The radical left is becoming mainstream. Trump called this out immediately. Biden won’t unless shamed to - he doesn’t want to alienate supporters like - the media outlet that publishes stories on why it’s OK to riot.

Where is the article for your employee who was arrested?

By a BLM supporter then BLM went to the hospital and chanted I hope they die . Oh then one of your reporters got busted for interference with a arrest lol

They had guns in the car! Completely justified! Poor guy feared for his life! Lol ACAB

I don’t support retaliation of this kind, Period! Let us not glorify this in any manner. We can win without this kind of vigilante act. This is deplorable. Vote to resolve your issues! Not violence!

End the Civil War on Drugs and give the safe sale and distribution of recreational drugs to our doctors and pharmacies. No more underground market where violence over turf and product threatens citizens and police. Police demilitarize and focus returns to crimes with victims.

NPR has a reporter who was involved in the blocking of the ER doors. She should be fired.

Another peaceful protest.

An NPR reporter gets arrested at the hospital for refusing to comply with orders. I'm no longer a supporter and listener. I can only hope that someday you receive zero taxpayer money.

Just in: cops get taste of own medicine

NPR fails to note details of suspect. If they were white we would know.

Probably ambushed by their own. 🙄🙄🙄we been protesting for over a month and not doing shit, now all of a sudden we ambushing cops. Gtfoh, i smell inside job.

After what happened in Georgia...

No bueno 🙁

This may sound like victim blaming and I don’t mean to imply that but I thought I heard/read a long time ago that cops always were trained to park ‘backed in ‘so both cops could see each side of the car at all times. This is tragic, regardless.

This fucking sucks.

Yeah and your biased reporting and inaccurate statistics contributed to it. Live with that.

No mention of BLM blocking access to hospital screaming “we hope they die...”. Wonder why?

It’s a terrible thing. You reap what you sow, so it’s no surprise. I hope they recover and push for police reform.

THANK GOD they survived thus far! 🙏🏾

What were deputies doing at time that both of their situational awareness so distracted neither noticed 'unknown' armed person aggressively approaching vehicle, breaching 21 ft safety perimeter? Why was patrol car parked where driver side door is blocked?...Where was car parked🤔

And now everyone is considered a deadly threat until the cuffs are on , so much for de-escalation

It's expected isnt it? They should expect to die; that's why they kill unarmed innocents.

You forgot to mention👇🏾

This is the direct result of media and journalists creating an anti-police narrative and spreading lies that police are hunting down black people to kill. The blood that is shed now and to come will be on your hands.

Why does your brief article end with Trump inciting more violence? What he said is appalling and you drop it without argument that he is wrong. We don't 'put down animals', we have trials.

I'm surprised NPR even reported this

Were these deputies considered snitches by any of the internal gangs in the LA Sheriff's department?

When those in public office act outside the parameters of the constitution its like they are Shitting on the graves of the 1.2 million American military service men and women that died to provide the rights granted therein. The result is anarchy. This is not the American dream

I'm afraid that this may become more common as more police brutality comes to light. It's wrong always, but it may be coming.

Did this immediately start playing in anyone elses head 😭

This country reap what you sow

Shocking

NPR does not have the courage or integrity to call this attack what it was an AMBUSH, uses someone else’s quote to a peace its radical donors DefundNPR

Where's the digging into their past to justify being shot? Or is that done only to black people?

Where is the outrage and justice for Breana Taylor killed by 3 police who illegally entered her home? Cry me a river folks— when cops stop intentionally hunting down innocent African American only then would true change come about!

Shame. I wish these deputies a full recovery. The stench, divisiveness, racism, corruption, malicious inflammatory rhetoric, sadistic covid-19 response, defiant illegitimacy, horrid policies, misuse of police to terrorize, and disdain for the law that is Trump caused this.

ABRACEMOS LA ESPERANZA DE LA PAZ; RECHAZAMOS LAS MASACRES, LOS ASESINATOS, LOS DESAPARECIDOS, RECHAZAMOS LA VIOLENCIA; ESTO ES UN CLAMOR DE NOSOTROS LOS COLOMBIANOS 🇱🇹

Plz heal quick. This shit makes me sad

Defund realDonaldTrump

Thanks, media! Real cool to inspire this!

The hate you've helped create, NPR. Happy?

Black suspect.

Apparently this person was a reporter for , care to comment?

NPR and their followers celebrate police ambush. Not surprised

Democrat Gangster Paradise!

What goes around comes around

Blm is responsible for this

npr, you and the rest of your elites and Left Winged MSM have promoted this. You have tried everything in your power to villainize police and anyone that supports the president.This is on y'all and of course the criminal. Why did you not say a black male shot two white officers

It’s an asymmetric civil war in a highly dysfunctional nation.

Trump built this mess....He wants Americans to kill cops and cops to kill innocent Americans. He has nothing left other than fear and anger to run on. VoteBidenHarris

You left out the part where BLM 'peaceful protesters' showed up at the hospital to heckle the officers that were shot.

It is almost like shooting each other is a national pastime.

But BLM right?

I hate America v2020. This is awful. Want to ruin all the progress BLM made? Keep this cowardly bullshit up.

Until we reach net zero police killings of Americans on the streets then we will see more incidents like this.

And now misinformation bots and rightwingnut trolls are claiming that 4 guys standing off to the side of the ER entrance shouting “let them die” represents the entirety of BLM protestors. They are so desperate to discredit and disparage liberals.

Then this..

Prayers for them and their families.

The lying fake news media is responsible for this tragedy.

Horrific! 🙏they get this idiot soon!

Incited by media.

NPR will find a way to justify the action..

There’s so much to this to unpack from where I sit, but this is such a Powderkeg of passion that this venue would not serve discourse on it very well... HardPass God’s mercy on the officers....

Black Supremacists Gathered Outside the Hospital. They Blocked the entrance to the Hospital. They chanted 'We Hope They Die' & 'You Are Next' to officers.

Why is ambush in scare quotes? What else would you call it NPR? You can thank the Democrats rhetoric for this. Good job guys.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Probably unrelated.

Praying for these officers 🙏🏽

Yes, radicalization is bad. No, this isn't 'Antifa' or BLM. This is a crazy nutjob with a gun.

Thanks Biden and democrats!

Antifa/blm terrorists?
