Flutterby™! : LAPD lies about Josie Huang's arrest

LAPD lies about Josie Huang's arrest

2020-09-14 15:18:42.836414+00 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

L.A. deputies tackled and arrested a reporter. Her videos contradict their claims about the incident.

Police claimed Huang, who also reports for LAist, didn’t have credentials and ignored demands to leave the area.

But those claims are contradicted by video Huang shared on Sunday showing her quickly backing away from police when ordered to do so and repeatedly identifying herself as a journalist. Huang said she also had a press badge around her neck.

Golly, LAPD lying about incidents that were caught on camera? I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
