This, in my opinion, is obscene, especially with the hospital doing a stonewalling denial after being caught in the act:
quote:
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Authorities have launched a criminal investigation into suspected dumping of homeless people on Skid Row after police witnessed ambulances leaving five people on a street there during the weekend.


A photo supplied by the Los
Angeles Police Department shows
Johny Williams being taken from
an ambulance to Skid Row.


The city attorney's office is reviewing police videotapes and photographs of the five suspected dumping cases to determine whether the patients were falsely imprisoned during their transfer and whether the hospital, Los Angeles Metropolitan Medical Center, violated any laws regarding the treatment of patients.

Two patients told officers Sunday they did not want to be taken downtown, said police Capt. Andrew Smith. One was not even homeless, he said. . . .
