CNN senior investigative reporter Kyung Lah was accosted by a police officer who accused her of grabbing him on Tuesday during her coverage of the ongoing Los Angeles protests. “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 barricade of officers could be seen approaching. “There’s been a dispersal order issued. They’re trying to clear the street.”
Lah then added, “Okay, we’re being asked to go behind the police,” as the CNN team moved towards the officers. “Press. Press. He’s press, he’s with me. He’s with me. He’s with me,” Lah could be heard telling the officers, while another CNN staffer said, “Sir, I’m with CNN. I have my verification. I have my verification right here.”
An officer then declared, “He doesn’t come through. You do.” As a group of police officers then swarmed Lah, she pushed through an opening to get out. “Are you grabbing me?!” the officer proceeded to shout at Lah. “No! I didn’t touch you!” she protested, as the officer yelled, “Get away from me!”
Another police officer then 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 watching from the studio. Several journalists have been injured by police since the riots erupted last week.

There was considerably less of this with the last kindly old man in the white house. Plenty of violent intimidation with the current president's 2 terms.
