Protester hit in face by rubber bullet shot by Florida police wants answers
Moments later, without warning, she said Fort Lauderdale police officers released tear gas and she ran to a corner, disoriented and overcome by smoke. She remembers the pressure of the rubber bullet hitting her face and strangers rushing to help. As she walks away from police, they fire a rubber bullet and a protester grabs her hand and tries to hurry her. A Fort Lauderdale police officer was suspended for an incident during that same protest after video showed he pushed a kneeling woman to the ground. The department has not released the name of the officer who shot Ratlieff.
