The protest I was at in Santa Monica, CA today could not have been more peaceful…. until the police began firing tear gas into the crowd. Later, and separately from the protests, looting began in mass, and the police began indiscriminately firing into the crowd, which was largely running away. A rubber bullet bounced off my shoe, and still gave a pretty good bruise. Y’all have probably already seen the wounds from rubber bullets that struck skin.
