Telling. “It’s a reminder that I fight for this cause with everybody else,” Jones said. #Repost @statesman • • • • • • Austin, Texas Stitches run through the center of 20-year-old Gemicah Jones’ Texas tattoo while standing for a photo at his apartment in East Ausitn on Thursday, June 4, 2020. On May 30th, Jones was attending a protest against police brutality with his friends when he was struck by a less lethal bullet. He was rushed to the hospital where he underwent an emergency surgery as the bullet had entered near an artery in his forearm. “I was screaming in pain,” Jones said. “My hand started violently shaking.” Austin-Travis County EMS officials said there have been at least 29 people hospitalized during the protests in the last seven days. Injuries caused by less lethal rounds include an open skull fracture with soft-tissue damage, a fracture to the lower jaw and a soft-tissue damage to the cheek, a severe hematoma between the brain and skull, and an open chest injury with broken ribs. Hundreds continue to take to the streets in the city’s second week of protests, condemning the APD for their use of less lethal rounds while continuing to protest police brutality and decry the deaths of George Floyd and Austinite Michael Ramos. “It’s a reminder that I fight for this cause with everybody else,” Jones said. #austinprotest #atx #texas #austin #protest #georgefloyd #mikeramos #blm #blacklivesmatter 📸 @brontewittpenn (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHnWI3FcHe4Onyf8PKvDsGgHdxfM6S0InTgAg0/?igshid=18wseofon8m7t
