ICE protester says he was seriously injured by rubber bullet shot to the groin

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — A man who was out protesting against ICE raids in downtown Los Angeles this week spoke with Nexstar’s KTLA after he says an officer’s close-range shot to his groin with a rubber bullet severely bruised one of his testicles and “shattered” the other.

“It sucks to sit down,” the 33-year-old demonstrator, Martin Santoyo, told KTLA.

Santoyo, who is now home from the hospital but still in recovery and unable to walk, said the incident happened on Monday in the area of Temple Street, just after he got off his bicycle within the crowd of protesters and law enforcement. He noted that before this happened, he did not hear any officers declaring an “unlawful gathering.”
 
He told KTLA that he was grabbing a water bottle from his backpack when authorities started pushing forward toward the group.

He should thank his lucky burritos it wasn't live ammo, or he wouldn't have testicles left.  :0001:

No great loss, I imagine.

Hey "One Nut", how'd the riot go for you?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Sorry, no half Darwin awards. Wear a cup next time, or better yet, stay home.

Does that protester pay come with workman's comp? (Or did they deny it 'cause you can still jerk off?)

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Police manage to ping one every now and then.

This one is a nice video from Phoenix sometime ago.

And his gas mask did not save him from pain as he should have placed it in a more sensitive place on his body.
