Legal and Testicle Repair medical fund

I am beyond embarrassed to have to do this as we are a very private family: On 30th May 2020, I was taking part in the peaceful Black Lives Matter #blm #blmla march in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles. I was marching in memory of George Floyd and so many other black Americans that have been murdered and been subject to systemic racism and undue use of force by police. At the march, I was shot by a member of the #LAPD with a rubber bullet in the groin. The impact of the rubber bullet ruptured one of my testicles which led to me nearly bleeding out on the streets of Los Angeles and requiring me to receive emergency surgery. The surgery left me with out of pocket medical expenses, as well as mounting legal fees from the legal counsel I have sought to seek justice from the incident. We will also be pushing for legislative law enforcement and union reform in Sacramento, California. This is not the first time I have fought against hate, oppression and systemic racism. At the age of 17, I was a witness to the Strijdom Square massacre in my native South Africa where I saw innocent black citizens murdered by a white supremacist. My white skin, white privilege, saved my life that day as I held a dying young black man in my lap trying to stop him from bleeding out. After going through some rough patches as a teenager with #PTSD, trying to make sense of what I witnessed, I continued my journey of fighting against #racism when I was saved by two black men who secretly recruited me as a white operative into Nelson Mandela’s anti-Apartheid movement for the African National Congress’ military wing, of Umkhonto we Siswe (the spear of the Nation). As an operator I could infiltrate and spy against the feared security police, state military apparatus and their proxy white nationalist hit squad units as a skinhead plant. We won the war against racist oppression in South Africa. We brought one of the most powerful and evil, racist security military complexes to its knees, and we must continue the fight here now in America as it shows its ugly face of hatred. Apartheid-era style tactics are not warranted in our society. The oppression and racism towards our black and POC compatriots here in America needs to stop. We as white folks need to start having these basic conversations about racism and what our privilege has afforded us. Learn from it! It's possible! In doing so we can rebuild the land of the free through restorative justice, reconciliation. By standing up to the racist police profiling culture and institutionalised racism. Only then can we truly be the land of the brave. Please help via my go fund me if you can . PLEASE SHARE THIS LINK
