During the recent protests and riots, there have been many people who have become seriously injured from rubber bullets. Many were left with some bad bruising, some may have lost an eye, and others were left bloody and scarred. But this one has got to be the most painful injury of all.
Bradley Steyn is a Black Lives Matter activist/rioter who claims that police shot him in his groin during a protest in Los Angeles back in May. This extremely painful injury resulted in him losing one of his testicles.
Bradley is a career activist and was even involved in the anti-apartheid protest in South Africa when he was younger.
According to TMZ,
He claims he witnessed police brutality, then became a victim himself when cops allegedly used batons to beat him in the chest … before shooting him with rubber bullets at point-blank range.
Bradley claims he was hit in the inner thigh and genitals and has since suffered horrific pain and the loss of a testicle.
His attorney, Lisa Bloom, will hold a press conference with him in front of LAPD headquarters Thursday, where Bradley will speak on “the impact his beating and shooting has had on his life and family.”
Bloom and Bradley will also reveal details of the legal action they are taking against the police department and call for specific reforms. Bloom says, “Police brutality is our national shame.”
Whether or not this man did something to deserve a shot straight to the groin is unclear but even if he did do something to warrant such force, they couldn’t have shot him point-blank as he suggests.
