Los Angeles, August 5 (RHC)-- Newly-released police bodycam footage reveals Los Angeles police shot a protester in the head with a “less lethal round” while the man had his arms in the air during a protest on May 30th. 

The protester, CJ Montano, is a 24-year-old former Marine who was protesting the killing of George Floyd.  Montano was hospitalized for four days and is still recovering. 

Montano’s attorney condemned the police department’s use of force, saying: “He is isolated in that intersection.  His arms are up in the air.  There’s no good argument that he was hit accidentally.” 

The Los Angeles Police Department has described the incident as an “unintentional head strike.”
