 ### Police fire pepper balls at car with pregnant woman | May 31st
 
 The driver steps out of a black sedan that officers have apparently hit with a pepper ball. He tells the officers repeatedly that there is a pregnant woman inside. Officers tell him to leave; he says "fuck you, I ain't going nowhere" and then "Fuck you! Shoot it again!" Officers shoot the car several more times.

+### Journalist injured by tear gas, less-than-lethal round | May 31st
+
+Journalist Alex Burness was hit by some sort of projectile. Later in the night, an officer ordered Burness to turn around and walk in the opposite direction (toward a large cloud of tear gas). He shouted "press," but the officer raised his weapon, forcing Burness (and an associate in a neon "press" vest) to walk into the tear gas. Journalist Dave Sachs claims something similar happened to him -- he showed his press pass to police but they shoved him into tear gas.

+### Protestor struck in head at short range with explosive projectile | (Believed to be) June 5th
 
 Footage shows protestors walking away from police. An officer fires an explosive projectile at the ground, which then ricochets and strikes protestor in head. Protestor crumples to the ground. Title on Reddit states that the protestor suffered permanent hearing loss, but this has not been verified.
 
 It should be noted that these rounds are intended to be shot at the ground as the officer did. However, the proximity of the shot to protestors severely increased the risk of injury, as seen here.
