LA protester lost testicle after he was shot with rubber bullet

A George Floyd protester lost a testicle — leaving him permanently disfigured — after he was shot with a rubber bullet by Los Angeles police, he claims in a new lawsuit.
David Bond says he was peacefully protesting on May 29 when cops began forcing the demonstrators back before unleashing pepper spray and a hail of rubber bullets on them, according to the Central California federal complaint.

The filing from Friday accuses officers of firing “indiscriminately and without justification at the peaceful protestors, many of whom had their hands up in surrender at the time.”
One of those rubber bullets hit Bond’s leg and testicle, causing him “to fall to the ground bleeding and in severe pain,” the court papers allege, noting that cops didn’t offer him any medical attention.
Bond “was not combative or assaultive in any way,” the suit claims.
Bond says he had to undergo emergency surgery with “one of his testicles having to be surgically removed due to the damage” — and now has “permanent disfigurement,” the court documents claim.
The suit also notes that Bond is a third person to come forward with testicle injuries resulting from the LAPD’s “excessive and unreasonable force” during the Floyd protests, the court papers allege.
Not only was Bond injured, but he accuses police of also violating his constitutional right to protest.
