CNN Reporter Accosted By Police While Covering L.A. Riots

CNN senior investigative reporter Kyung Lah was apparently accosted by a police officer who accused her of grabbing him during her coverage of the ongoing protests in Los Angeles.

“What you’re seeing here are the advancing LAPD. These are officers who have been called to clear this street,” reported Lah on “The Lead” as a throng of police officers could be seen approaching. “There’s been a dispersal order issued. They’re trying to clear the street.”

“Okay, we’re being asked to go behind the police,” Lah added as the CNN crew moved toward the line of officers.

“Press. Press. He’s press, he’s with me. He’s with me. He’s with me,” Lah was heard informing officers. Another CNN staffer then said, “Sir, I’m with CNN. I have my verification. I have my verification right here.”

At that point, an officer stated, “He doesn’t come through. You do.” Then, as a group of officers appeared to surround Lah, she tried pushing through an opening to escape.

“Are you grabbing me?” one officer then demanded of Lah. “No! I didn’t touch you!” she shouted in response, as the officer then declared, “Get away from me!”

At that point, another officer told the CNN crew, “We need you guys to go over there. Come on.”

“See Jake, it’s a little chaotic,” Lah told CNN host Jake Tapper, who was viewing the situation from CNN studios.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s polling numbers regarding his policies of strict immigration enforcement and mass deportations, beginning with criminal aliens, remain very popular with Americans — and that includes immigrant voters, according to CNN data analyst Harry Enten.

At the end of the 8 a.m. ET hour on CNN News Central on Tuesday, anchor Kate Bolduan introduced Enten to discuss the ongoing protests in Los Angeles and other cities in response to the Trump administration’s ICE raids.

Bolduan noted that Enten had examined public opinion on the issue, with a particular focus on how immigrant voters view immigration policy and the recent enforcement actions.
