The officer yelled for help as the struggle continued, & the other officers discharged their firearms, striking the suspect. Our officer was shot one time in the chest, the round did not penetrate his bullet-resistant vest. He also has injuries to his face from being punched.

One never believes these police accounts; and the meek and subservient press, to most people's knowledge, never do investigative reporting. And, the Mayors show up and read the script, seemingly dictated to him by the police. Then police are 100% of the time cleared.pic.twitter.com/co3PMG2rdD
