A 27-year-old black community activist had to undergo emergency surgery after being shot in the groin with a rubber bullet while he was trying to stop cops from firing at protesters in California, United States. After the news outlet reported the incident to San Jose police chief Eddie Garcia, the chief assured Sanderlin that they will be investigating the incident. San Jose police will also be re-evaluating at what point in a confrontation can cops fire their riot guns, according to the report. “Derrick has been a real leader in our communities’ efforts to reduce bias and discrimination through dialogue,” Garcia was quoted as saying. Sanderlin has been training new police recruits in San Jose about implicit bias and procedural bias, the report said.
