New York Publish’s Toby Canham was injured by rubber bullet throughout protests in opposition to immigration raids

A police officer shot a New York Publish photojournalist within the head with a rubber bullet throughout pro-immigration protests and riots in Los Angeles.

The incident occurred on Sunday evening as Toby Canham was photographing a standoff between protesters and the California Freeway Patrol (CHP).

In line with the Publish, Canham was carrying his press cross when he was struck and fell to the bottom. He spent Monday within the hospital with whiplash and neck ache, and was left with a big bruise on his brow, the paper reported.

“After I bought whacked, to my greatest recollection, it was simply me filming with my cameras on – after which I bought shot,” Canham stated. “I wasn’t surrounded, so I used to be a straightforward goal.”

He added that shortly earlier than he was hit, somebody to his left had thrown a bottle at officers after which fled the scene.

On the identical day, an officer shot Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi within the leg with a rubber bullet as she was overlaying protests downtown.

The unrest started on Friday after federal brokers detained a number of people as a part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on unlawful immigration. The demonstrations shortly escalated into clashes with police, looting, and vandalism, prompting Trump to deploy the Nationwide Guard and active-duty Marines.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has condemned the president’s actions as illegal.
