MAY 31, 2020

This order sent on May 31st, 2020 at 7:52pm did not deter me from documenting protests that day; however, the previous day/night's tear gassings, flashbangs, and being shot by a projectile while in full press gear certainly did.

Injured and exhausted, this photograph was shot from the roof of my apartment building, roughly four miles from the protest. It is the only photograph I captured that day/night.
