Police officials have refuted an accusation that an LAPD officer repeatedly yelled “white power” and made racist hand gestures at a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Hollywood last week.
The misinformation was spread via social media by Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles (BLM-LA), a sanctioned chapter of the global organizing network. The group captured a 15-second video clip of a man donning a shirt that read “Los Angeles Police” which included what looked like department logos. He appeared to be taunting activists that were protesting outside of a 24 Hour Fitness health club on Thursday.
