During ongoing protests in Los Angeles against President Trump's harsh immigration policies, transgender actress Jen Richards shared her experience of being injured by rubber bullets and flashbangs. Despite the chaos, she emphasized the need for peaceful demonstration and standing up for truth, liberty, and empathy. She recounted her experience in a detailed Instagram post, showcasing her bruised foot from the incident and expressing her concerns about the aggressive actions of law enforcement. The protests were sparked by recent immigration raids in Latino communities, further escalating tensions in the city.
We were in downtown LA today. Thousands of peaceful protestors showed up to demonstrate that we won't stand by as our neighbors get rounded up to appease the racist fever dreams of a President and his fragile ego.
I was hit by flashbangs and rubber bullets, all while walking backwards with my hands up... but sometimes shit goes too far and you gotta stand up for truth, liberty, and empathy.
Flashbangs aren't too bad, they're loud and sting. Rubber bullets however ... well, check out my foot. It tore through my docs!
In recent days, federal agents and protesters have clashed in the US's second largest city over the immigration policies of the Trump administration.
