Two-time National League MVP and former Rockies outfielder Dale Murphy said on Twitter Sunday that one of his sons was shot in the eye with a rubber bullet during Saturday’s protest in Denver against violence by law enforcement and rally for justice in the name of George Floyd.
“Last night, my son was shot in the eye with a rubber bullet while peacefully protesting for justice for George Floyd. His story is not unique. Countless others have also experienced this use of excessive police force while trying to have their voices heard,” Murphy tweeted.
