## Resource

A LA tattoo artist is suing the city, county, and state after being shot in the leg by law enforcement during a peaceful protest against immigration raids—claiming he was walking away when the projectile struck him from behind. The suit, filed Friday, names LAPD, LA County Sheriff’s, and CHP as present but doesn’t name a specific agency, and seeks damages for assault, battery, negligence, and civil rights violations. Ngo says the injury has devastated his tattoo business and left him with chronic pain, sleeplessness, and PTSD—adding he’s not alone in his claim.
