"Micah Moore, a film production assistant, recently underwent his second surgery to restore the hearing in his right ear after being shot in the head with a rubber bullet while attending the 'No Kings' protest in downtown Los Angeles last June. 'It really completely flipped huge parts of my life upside down,' the 25-year-old told The Times. 'It's been very disabling at work, with friends, with family - a lot of sleepless nights.'"
"During a similar protest rally in March, Tucker Collins, an 18-year-old USC student, was blinded in one eye after being shot with a 'less-lethal projectile' that struck him in the face. Both young men are now seeking justice for their injuries, with Moore filing a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department."
"The two men are among several who say they were innocent victims of excessive force used by federal and local authorities during the immigration raids and the protests that followed. Behind the demand for justice is attorney James DeSimone, who represents both Moore and Collins."
