On Monday, Halsey, 25, posted a slideshow of video clips of a protest in Santa Monica, California, on her Instagram account. In one clip, a voice, presumably the musician’s, is heard saying, “They’re still advancing. We’re standing here, we’re doing nothing and they’re still advancing,” as law enforcement officers march toward protesters.
A photo collage, meanwhile, showed the singer assisting wounded protesters. “I was treating injuries I am not qualified to. So much blood spilled,”“Do not underplay these rubber bullets bc you have been told they are ‘not lethal,’” she wrote in another tweet. “I had to bandage a man who looked like his entire face had exploded today. So before you say, from the comfort of your home, that we’re exaggerating, please consider the injuries some have suffered.
do not underplay these rubber bullets bc you have been told they are “not lethal”. I had to bandage a man who looked like his entire face had exploded today.

“This is happening everywhere,” she continued. “And innocent people exercising their rights to speech and assembly are facing violence and abuse of power. With all of our medical professionals being CONSUMED and EXHAUSTED with Covid, there is little to no medical attention available. I have first hand treated men women and children who have been shot in the chest, the face, the back. Some will lose vision some have lost fingers. I have been covered in innocent blood.
