These motherf--kers right here. They started this shit. Now everybody saying, 'Hands up, don't shoot.'"The 21-minute video shows the police lining up across the street when one of the them begins firing the rubber bullets., most of the rubber bullets were aimed towards the ground, but one did hit a protester."Don't f--king hit me!" Sampson can be heard screaming."Are you gonna aim it at me?!"A few minutes later, Sampson turned the camera on himself and said,"They started hurting people. Y'all saw this motherf--ker hit me. Hit ME -- with a baton, I'm unarmed. Then they started attacking girls. I have it on all on video." "I was sitting there filming peacefully. And he targeted me out of everybody -- he started hitting me cause I was recording? I ain't being violent. I don't condone violence.""None of these police cars were touched until they started hurting people," he said as he continued to film the car."See that? That happened because they started f--king people up. I'm gonna let you all know right now." Followers on his Instagram began commenting, wishing him well and sending support as they saw him at the protest on television."Literally watching you on tv right now being harassed. Please be safe 🙏🏽🙏🏽," wrote one concerned fan. Another posted,"Bless you Kendrick! I just saw you on CNN it looks like they pushed you and shot you with a rubber bullet. Please be safe 🙏🏽" Protests have erupted in at least 30 cities over the death of Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, who was killed by a white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday.
