‘I felt like my chest was on fire’: Photo shows Dallas police officer shooting protester with pepper-ball gun

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/investigations/2020/08/09/i-felt-like-my-chest-was-on-fire-photo-shows-cop-blasting-a-peaceful-protester-with-a-pepper-ball-gun-at-close-range/

The photograph captures a police officer aiming a weapon at a woman. She is holding a purple phone. She has her hair in a top knot. She is wearing workout shorts.

The officer has just blasted her in the breast with a pepper ball. Smoke rises from her T-shirt. She clutches her breast.

In the background, officers are zip-tying two protesters facedown in the grass. Farther back, a protester holds up empty hands.

The scene unfolds along a highway access road on the western edge of downtown Dallas. Moments earlier, these protesters were walking across a grassy slope, moving away from shots they had heard coming from the highway, some 50 yards behind them, they say.
