Ramirez went to the Brooklyn Center police station last month to protest the shooting death of Daunte Wright. He returned home with a fractured skull, significant bruising and broken blood vessels in his left eye. “They're really just terrorizing the protesters,” said Ramirez, who may need surgery in the future. Ramirez is one of dozens of protesters, bystanders and journalists around the Twin Cities who have found themselves on the receiving end of what police used to call non-lethal force, but now describe as less lethal.
