In one of the videos, Sampson revealed that he'd been shot four times while a later video of the day's news coverage contained a shot of Sampson being hit by an officer with a baton.
After details of his injuries had gotten out, the actor took to Twitter to discuss his experience, revealing he'd been shot three more times.
"Glad y’all witnessed this. Esp the video of them actually targeting us," Sampson wrote online. 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."
He concluded the post with the hashtag: "#DEFUNDPOLICE."
