Police Shoots Man In Testicles With Rubber Bullet During Protest

POLICE SHOOTS MAN IN TESTICLES – During the wake of George Flyod’s death, the public protested against police brutality.

However, amid the protests, altercations occur between the cops and the protesters. Unfortunately, some lead to devastating results as police get physical.

Ben Montemayor protested against police brutality in Hollywood last year. According to reports from Ladbible, Montemayor simply held a sign saying the LAPD should be defunded. Furthermore, he stated that he didn’t hear a dispersal order when the riot police advanced.

Unarmed and unresisting, Montemayor felt safe in knowing he wasn’t posing a threat to anyone around him. Still, riot police shoved him back and another officer about 10 feet away “intentionally shot him in the groin with a high-speed plastic, hard foam projectile”.

Because of this, the protester’s groin was immediately swollen. Afterward, he needed to undergo emergency surgery that involved “piecing back together portions of his testicles which had exploded”.

Due to the incident, Montemayor filed a lawsuit against the police on April 12, Monday. As per the report, the lawsuit initially claimed that:

As Mr. Montemayor stood there, unarmed, not resisting arrest, posing no threat whatsoever to anyone around him, and having just been violently shoved, a third officer less than ten feet away aimed his green [40-millimeter] launcher at Mr. Montemayor and intentionally shot him in the groin with a high-speed plastic, hard foam projectile.

Following the incident, Montemayor had to undergo over a year’s worth of physical therapy. Additionally, the lawsuit claimed that he still gets flashbacks from the “horrific example of the unjustified police abuse and First Amendment retaliation meted out violently against peaceful protesters“.
