A protester, a young men, went down hard after getting hit in the side of the head by something shot by the police. An ambulance has been called. He is bleeding and in a lot of pain. People are trying to help.

His eyes are closed. I am not posting images out of respect for now, the situation is tense. Will try to ask later.

He seems to be hurt badly. Protesters are carrying him to safety.

We are now by the Wendy's near the Target. I am wondering where the ambulance is and why there are not EMTs close at hand.

After yesterday, this was very predictable.

He seems to be convulsing? This is hard to watch. Where is the ambulance? Concussion grenades going off and crowd scattering periodically.

Activists loaded him into a car and it drove away, headed to the hospital. Help never came. I don't know what his condition was.

Riot police on horse back have arrived at the intersection.

I got hit in the eye and then tear gassed.

I am OK, home, icing my eye. It's swollen. It hit my nose first which helped

I wasn't trying to put myself at risk. I wanted to document what was happening to the young man who seemed critically injured, and the people who were trying to keep him alive.

Then I got hit.

People rushed to help me and bandage my eye and face. I started to realize I wasn't seriously injured, and they helped me up when a cloud of tear gas came our way and everyone ran.

I was leaning against a building trying to gather myself when folks starting smashing windows.

Important context: That seemed to happen as the situation escalated, the crowd's anger rose as rubber bullets + canisters hit. It didn't happen randomly or in isolation.

I was lucky, the young man I was tweeting about, the one you see in those live streams, was not. I hope he's ok. I hope he makes it.

I hope no one else gets hurt. If that does happen, I hope there are EMTs nearby and ready.

Signing off, back to work tomorrow.
