    Eyewitness News Reporter Sid Garcia spoke to the protester who was shot from his hospital bed at the L.A. General Medical Center.

    I was thinking at first like, how lucky to be in a hospital bed already when being shot. 🧐

    The protester was among tens of thousands of people who took to the streets for the demonstrations across Southern California and the rest of the country.

    Tens of thousands? There were over FIVE MILLION protesters.

    E OVER THIRTEEN MILLION protesters - thank you, Lucidlethargy

    You shouldn’t have to wear safety rated glasses to protest, but I wouldn’t go to one without them at this point. If you normally wear glasses and they’re not rated an impact can shatter them and cause even more damage than not wearing them at all would have.

      You’ll need z87+ (ANSI Z87.1) impact resistant safety glasses or goggles. If the chemistry store does not have these you can find them at any big box hardware store
