The actor took to Twitter after details of his injuries had gotten out, and discussed his experience, revealing he'd been shot three more times.

Sampson wrote online: "Glad y'all witnessed this. Esp the video of them actually targeting us. He didn't try to ricochet the bullets of the ground - one tactic - he pointed the gun DIRECTLY AT ME. I actually got hit 7 times with rubber bullets and many with batons. My boy has stitches."

"#DEFUNDPOLICE," he concluded the post with the hashtag.

Protests have been raging across the country in response to the death of George Floyd, an African-American resident of Minneapolis, Minn., who was killed when a white police officer pinned his knee against Floyd's neck, while he struggled for air and begged for his life for several minutes. (ANI)
