CJ Johnson was just trying to get to his car when he encountered a line of Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers near the corner of Spring Street and Temple Street in front of City Hall, firing less-lethal munitions at a group of protesters.
Johnson wasn’t in Downtown that day to march in the No Kings Day demonstration that attracted tens of thousands of protesters; he had just finished helping a friend with some skateboard videography.
After Johnson turned around to try to find another way to his car, he was shot in his left hand just above his wrist.
