During a protest against Israel’s bombing of Gaza at UCLA, volunteer medics treated injured protesters with severe wounds caused by police projectiles. The medics described setting up makeshift medical clinics in tents, treating injuries ranging from puncture wounds to broken bones. The protesters faced police brutality, with officers firing less lethal projectiles at them. Despite the escalating violence, the medics remained committed to their patients. The LAPD and California Highway Patrol are investigating the incident, which resulted in hundreds of arrests. Critics argue that the use of less lethal projectiles by police can be deadly and have called for stricter regulations.
