An 18-year-old University of Southern California freshman named Tucker Collins lost an eye after a Department of Homeland Security offers a shot, a projectile at him during a no-kings rally in downtown Los Angeles on March 28. Collins was there taking photos when he hit him straight in the face, wrecking his eyeball and cracking bones around his socket, leaving him screaming, on the ground as people rushed to help. Now rocking an eye patch while he recovers, Collins and his folks join his lawyer at a press conference this week demanding city leaders launch a criminal probe into the shooting. His attorney says that I is dead for life, and they're gearing up to slap the officer with a federal civil rights lawsuit for the life-changing, damage. DHS pushes back hard, labeling the crowd as riders hurling rocks, bottles, and concreted officers and federal property, claiming seven warnings. Turn out before any crowd control kicked in, with arrests already made for assaults.

As both sides dig in, Collins keeps fighting for accountability. That's your update from California News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the Story.
