The incident, captured on video and widely shared on social media, has sparked widespread outrage and debate about the use of force by law enforcement. The video shows a tense scene on a rooftop, where protesters are demonstrating. The protester, who appears to be throwing objects, is suddenly hit by a projectile. The impact is clearly visible.
