Halsey Reveals She Was Hit By Rubber Pellets and ‘Gassed’ During Los Angeles Protests
Halsey and many other public figures took to the streets of America to protest against police brutality following the murder of Geroge Floyd. For many, the protests turned violent as police tried to prevent the large public gatherings, and Halsey reveals that she was hit by pellets and “gassed” during the Los Angeles protests.
“I don’t know how to articulate the horrors of today. [National Guard] + officers firing rounds into kneeling crowds,” the 25-year-old tweeted.
“Myself + many of my peers were shot, gassed + antagonized.”
Videos from the protests show cop cars on fire with officers teargassing people. There is also a citywide curfew from 4.pm.
“We did not breach the line. hands were up. unmoving. and they gassed and fired,”she added.
“They opened fire multiple times. I was hit twice. Once by pellets and once by shrapnel. We were gassed repeatedly for hours.”
“Do not underplay these rubber bullets bc you have been told they are ‘not lethal’. I had to bandage a man who looked like his entire face had exploded today.”
The protests continue across the country as people fight for justice.
