My question involves defamation in the state of: California

A little background:

Several months ago while traveling aboard the BART train heading to an orthodontic appointment I placed a help call to 911 after a young man threatened to rob me. His exact words were, "I'll ****ing rob you right now." At the time I wasn't aware of the meaning of this slang. While I was worried about my possessions being stolen I should have been more concerned about potentially being accosted. At any rate, when the young man moved a safe distance away I took the opportunity to get-up from my seat and move to the opposite side of the train where I was able to safely contact the train operator. Following his direction I used my cell phone to dial 911. When the BART police attempted to detain this young man for questioning on the Embarcadero platform he refused to obey all of the commands given to him by the police officers. The officers drew their weapons at some point, a struggle ensued between the young man and BART police where the young man (reeking of vodka) attempted to bicycle kick an officer in the face and spat in another officer's face. Eventually I was able to provide the sergeant in the station with a statement of exactly what was said between the young man and myself.

Unbeknownst to me until almost 7 months later, this incident went viral in a big way. Multiple television news networks across the state aired this story - it turned out that the young man who threatened my is suing the City of San Francisco and/or the BART Police Department because apparently an officer struck this young man in the face after the young man spit in his face. Here is where I hold issue with the call to 911 being published: in one newspaper article in-particular (L.A. Times) two women (one who is a law student at the S.F. business school that I'd attended) had been quoted as saying that at some point while I was afraid of being robbed on the train, she heard me shout racial slurs at the young man and the young lady he was with. (After researching I learned that these two ladies are strong supporters of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement - as am I.) This reporter at the L.A. times, in my opinion, cherry picked facts and molded the narrative of his article to inform, which of course reporters do, but this one never attempted to contact me. I was described as an old white male (I'm Chicano and proud, thank you) who yelled racial slurs at the person that had just threatened to rob me. While my name was never published, thank God, my voice was published on the L.A. Times' website, ABC7 News' website, and KPIX-CBS News' website as well. I should mention that I wrote letters to both the L.A. Times reporter and the false-witness in which I voiced my concern about their decision making abilities and skills, or lack-thereof as it related to this incident.

Is there a course of action available to me in which I can legally demand the immediate removal of my 911 call from each website that reported me as being an 'old white racist'? I'm a 40-year old disabled military veteran who earned the Good Conduct Medal before separating honorably and returning home to Northern California to study Restaurant and Hospitality Management at Le Cordon Bleu and to earn my business degree at Golden Gate University. At this juncture in my life the fact that this bs will be on the internet FOREVER. In the near future with the young man that had threatened to rob me and then spit in a uniformed police officer's face settles his case against the city out of court, this story will be re-published and again re-broadcast.

By all means, I'm all for publishing the truth, what ever happened to journalistic integrity?
