00:27I think that what you saw on television to watch this man plead for his life as I sit with my two daughters, my nephews.

01:18We were peaceful, hands up, not moving, not breaching the line.
01:21They opened fire multiple times.
01:23I was hit twice, once by pellets, once by shrapnel.
01:26We were gassed repeatedly for hours.

02:28No one is saying your life is not hard.
02:30This is not about you.
