A 6-month-old baby was hospitalized after federal law enforcement agents in Minneapolis struck a car full of children with a flash bang, before flooding it with tear gas.

Parents Shawn and Destiny Jackson told Kare11 that they were driving their six children home from a basketball game Wednesday when a protest stopped them in their tracks.

As bystanders rushed the children to the safety of a nearby house, they had to go back for the 6-month old who had stopped breathing. “He was the last person to come in, he was just like, lifeless, like, he had like, foam, like, around his mouth, and you can, he had tears coming out of his eyes,” Destiny told Kare11.

Destiny said she performed CPR on the child while others called emergency services, who arrived shortly after.

    You can use the power you have, even from outside the USA.

    Kick America in the wallet.

    Boycott anything that is made in USA. And any american parent company that sells products in your country.

    Don’t travel there (which I assume you already have chosen).

      Indeed, and I’m glad you highlighted these things. It’s something I have been trying to do, as well as increasing people’s awareness of these choices. It feels like it makes so little difference, but it’s not nothing.
