BREAKING – This LA rioter claims a Los Angeles police officer fired a rubber round at him that shattered his testicle. He is the second known rioter to lose a testicle in the LA riots.
“Then they start shouting, ‘Move back,’ but I’m still like fixing myself up, my backpack, my bike, and then they just push me. And I’m just… just instinct, just… I tell the cop, ‘Don’t push me, I’m already moving back.’ And then the cop right next to him had a gun and just aimed and shot. He was like, what, like two, three feet away? After I got hit, I couldn’t really walk, I was just like… too much in shock. And then they’re still pushing me. I know some other protesters were trying to help me like walk, but they’re still pushing them too, and everyone’s shouting like, ‘Yo, he just got hit, like, let him breathe, let him breathe.’ And like, I needed to sit down for a bit, but they just kept pushing. Right now I’m at home. The injury was sustained to my groin. I have a bruise on my left testicle and my right testicle was actually shattered. They said that they somewhat fixed it so it should have some function but it’s still very badly damaged.”
