A video from the Los Angeles protests shows a woman bleeding from the head as people around her accuse riot police of wounding her with a rubber bullet.

The footage was shared on social media, where it was viewed by almost 98,000 people and reposted by more than 1,200 on X (formerly Twitter).

Police are seen bandaging the patient's head as protesters and police argue about the possibility of getting her an ambulance, with both sides blaming each other for the unfolding situation.

It was not immediately clear when or where the footage was filmed. Newsweek reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) via email for comment.

Safety glasses

Wear them

They're not trying to kill people, they're trying to wound them. It's a lot more traumatic for the victim and the witnesses if they all see someone blinded by these shots. And they don't care if you go blind because they want to scare the shit out of everyone.

So wear safety glasses .... actual workplace csa approved safety glasses, the type that wrap around your eyes and protect all around. They're easy to find and cheap.

Wear them and save your eyes

They're not trying to kill people, but they are hoping to.
