In one instance, a registered nurse with a cart holding medical supplies was treating wounds and head injuries during a “No Kings” protest in June, when a 40mm projectile allegedly shot by a Los Angeles police officer suddenly ripped the flesh from the outside of his thigh.
In another instance, a photographer showed up to the same protest with a camera and left with a fractured cheekbone and ruptured eye that swelled shut, after allegedly being shot with a so-called “less-lethal” by an LAPD officer.
During a different protest, a woman was allegedly hit multiple times with LAPD’s “less-lethal” munitions, then pummeled by officers on horses as they wielded wooden samurai swords known as bokken, before she was trampled by a police horse and dragged off to the sidewalk.
