In my mind im not thinking i was shot because why would the officer shoot me if im not posing any type of threat to him and im actually leaving . Reporter hers is not a unique or isolated incident. I didnt realize how big of a deal it was until there was, like, surgeons around me. Reporter linda toronto is a freelance journalist sent to cover the George Floyd Protests in minneapolis. Shes a veteran of this kind of reporting. Hands up. Dont shoot. Reporter she was in ferguson, missouri back in 2014 after another police killing. This one of michael brown. Theres a space where the protesters are gathered in a group and police are gathered in their line, and the people who are in between in that space are going to be media, and thats how you get the understanding of whats going on, is you stand and you watch both sides. Reporter thats what she was doing in minneapolis that night. This is the last photo she took, what appears to show an officer aiming directly at her. I think that not shooting people in the face for exercising the first thing we fixed about the constitution should just be standard operating procedure. Reporter the nonlethal round shot at linda that night blinded her in her left eye. So i can see to about here. And everything past everything from here to here is just blank. Im assured that as i become used to having one eye, ill be able to do all the things i used to do without it being a problem, but, like, the getting used to only having one eye is not a small task. Reporter to be sure, police have been injured in the protests, too. Hundreds of them. More than 50 on one particularly violent night in seattle recently. Crowds can be dangerous. Dispersing them is often necessary. But the research on the lethality of less lethal weapons is pretty hard to come by. In 2017 a review of the available literature on the subject was published in the medical journal bmj open. Of the nearly 2,000 people since 1990 documented to have been injured by less lethal rounds, 300 suffered permanent disability. 53 of them died. Thesee,hispeed projectiles,y cause significant and severe injuries. Reporter this doctor is with physicians for human rights and one of the authorizs of that review. The basic rights like free speech and Free Assembly are being suppressed globally, and the primary way thats happening is because of crowd control weapons. Reporter in just the first week after the death of george floyd, she documented at least 100 serious injuries to protesters and journalists. Most to the head and neck. The narrative is that theyre not lethal, theyre not dangerous. That police need a continuum of use of force and that these are really excellent options for them to be safe while at the same time controlling riots. And thats not the case . Its absolutely not the case. Reporter while most Police Departments have access to less lethal weapons, experts say few are offered any significant training on just how to use them. Ive talked to agencies. Weve never seen crowd control before. We didnt even know what to do. These are a 40 millimeter impact munitions. Reporter Travis Norton is an instructor who specializes in less lethal weapons. Not only how to use them, but when. How do you deal with a group of agitators in the middle of Peaceful Protesters . There are a lot of different tactics you can use. Unfortunately, a lot of those departments dont know what those tactics are. What are we trying to accomplish with what were trying to do . Are we just standing here on the skirmish line deploying munitions at protesters hoping theyll go away or do we have an actual strategy here is in rules of engagement, he says, have to be set because risk of injury is certain. Where an officer aims and where the munitions hit can be two different things. Law enforcement is screaming for Something Better for us to use than thats out there. In the last 20 years, we have had no new less lethal come out other than prototypes and pilot projects. Reporter until Something Better comes along, he says, less lethals will likely remain a crowd control option for Police Departments. But doesnt have to remain, he says, is the cloud around their use. A lot of times what happens in Law Enforcement is these things will happen and then we just forget about them because were on to the next emergency. And its not purposeful, its just we dont have a lot of time to reflect on things, and we have to do better at that. Reporter despite her injuries, Latoya Ratliff has kept demonstrating. Peaceful protest is in her dna, literally. Fannie lou hamer, a hugely influential civil rights leader back in the 1960s is latoyas great aunt. She too was bloodied in her battles. Less lethal munitions were meant to be a step forward from those dark days, but like the fight for civil rights itself, that work is not over.
