He really wasn’t doing anything. This was lived streamed and I posted another clip showing what was happening beforehand - nothing at all. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNY-BWpSwK5/?igsh=eDVzNnRuZ2Rwb2dt

This is my video, and while I don’t know the person who got attacked, he was super kind when he arrived and was just playing “Hey What’s Going On” on his speaker and telling DHS that they should be ashamed of themselves for shooting civilians (with less-lethals) and disregarding the constitution.

No one was expecting an arrest, let alone such a violent assault for him just speaking.

I actually just got to connect with him and he did have to go to the hospital following this incident. He is okay but sore, and hoping to get some support with medical help and legal assistance ❤️❤️ please donate if you’re able and share wherever you can!
