Below is a protester who reportedly could be seen kneeling on livestream, with his hands behind his head.

He was reportedly then shot in the side of the head with some form of “less lethal” ammo.

Protesters have been ordered to disperse, yet law enforcement appears to be ordering the shut-down of what is described as a major transit hub for Brooklyn Center.
