Minneapolis police have allegedly blinded a photojournalist permanently in one eye

I posted this some days ago, under the “Teen Vogue” topic and I still wonder if the police was “in their rights” to do that.

Also, @beschizza just opened another topic

ETA:

ETA 2: scrolled the topic. Found the HuffPo/AOL piece.

reportedly after curfew. However, curfew restrictions only apply to public areas, according to the city’s own order.

That seems to answer my question. Thanks, @anon29537550.
