Isaac Castellanos says he never heard police order the crowd to disperse before he was hit in the eye with a projectile fired by LAPD
A 22-year-old student at California State University Long Beach at the time, Isaac Castellanos said he was peacefully celebrating the Dodgers 2020 World Series victory when officers began shooting projectiles to move the crowd.
He was among hundreds of people celebrating, he said peacefully, when police moved in and started firing projectiles. Castellanos, who said he never heard any order to disperse, was hit in the eye, leaving it red, swollen and, a year and a half later, still dark. “The majority of the vision in my right eye is completely black, the middle is completely black, the upper side is completely black,” he told CBSLA.
While that might be a start, Catellanos and his attorney hope this case will force even more reforms on LAPD.
