Ali Velshi Hit by Rubber Bullet, Tear-Gassed in Minneapolis, May 30, 2020
MSNBC journalist Ali Velshi was struck in the left shin by a rubber bullet and caught in tear gas fired by law enforcement during a live broadcast in Minneapolis on May 30, 2020. The incident occurred about 8:40 p.m. near East Franklin Avenue while he was covering protests over George Floyd's death. Velshi said his crew had already moved back from the police line when he was hit and that he had no time to put on his mask before the gas reached him. During the broadcast, he raised an open hand toward the line and continued speaking as gas spread through the street. Velshi said he could not tell whether Minnesota State Patrol or National Guard personnel had fired. An 8 p.m. curfew was in effect, but journalists were exempt.

Not at the news crew - a whole line of louts are behind them. The silly news guys are standing in the front lines!

this should be standard police protocol for dealing with MSNBC, CNN, USA Today, New York Times and other agenda peddling media crews. |
