‘YOU TOUCHED THE OFFICER!’ LAPD Officer EXPLODES on ABC Reporter in Riot Showdown During Live Segment (VIDEO)

A heated confrontation unfolded in downtown Los Angeles between a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer and ABC News correspondent Matt Gutman during a live broadcast covering ongoing riots.

The clash occurred as Gutman reported live for ABC News Live near a federal building downtown, which has become the main starting point for the protests and riots sparked by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations to deport illegal aliens.

In the video footage, an LAPD officer confronts Gutman and accuses him of making aggressive contact with another officer.

The officer shouted, “You touched my partner! Don’t touch my partner! I’m letting you know! Don’t touch him!” The officer also shoves the reporter away from him.

“You’re pushing me on live television,” Gutman said, adding that “tensions are extremely high here.”

“Yes! Because you touched the officer!” the officer shouts.

A second officer joined to back up the first, scolding the reporter and telling him not to touch the officers.

“We clearly didn’t touch the officers,” Gutman claimed.

“Yes you did!” the original officer said.

WATCH:

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.

The confrontation took place against the backdrop of nearly ten days of protests and riots in Los Angeles.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday, one of our own reporters was shot with a rubber bullet and a tear gas canister during the chaos.

Shortly after 5 p.m. local time, Schaffer wrote that “police are using tear gas and crowd control munitions to break up the crowd.”
