IN LINE OF DUTY
A WOMAN pooped on the beach – just yards away from a CNN TV crew in Los Angeles today.
She relieved herself while their National Correspondent Sarah Sidner spoke about the coronavirus pandemic with her co-workers in New York City on Monday.
She wandered into the shot on Santa Monica beach as Sidner discussed the "number one highest spike in positive cases that the state has seen" last Friday, when over 3,000 people were diagnosed.
The woman, who appears to be homeless laid out a black trash bag on the sand and pulled down her pants.
She then went to the toilet shortly after 9am local time as the journalist tried to block out the view.
Someone must have alerted Sidner via her ear-piece because she swiftly shuffled to the right to prevent viewers from witnessing the scene behind her.
While the video bomber went to the bathroom, Sidner spoke about the Golden State's virus surge in recent weeks.
California has experienced a shocking 41 percent rise in virus-related hospitalizations since the middle of June.
Its single-day case record was smashed on July 5 when 11,529 new infections were confirmed.
The daily death toll remains at around 100 and haven't topped the 115 COVID-related deaths on April 22, however.
