Pregnant Woman Loses Eye In Ferguson After Cops Fire Bean Bag At Car
A pregnant woman lost her left eye when cops in Ferguson shot out a car window with a bean bag

A pregnant woman lost her left eye when cops in Ferguson shot out a car window with a bean bag.
Dornella Conner said she and her boyfriend, De’Angelas Lee, were “just riding around and respecting Mike Brown” when they stopped at a gas station in the the 10000 block of Halls Ferry early Tuesday, KMOV St. Louis reported.
Once at the gas station, Conner said, police confronted the couple.
“They pulled up while we were coming towards the street,” she told the local TV station. “De’Angelas was trying to get away, they blocked us from the side, front and back.”
But cops, of course, are saying that Conner and Lee, were the aggressors during the incident after Lee drove the car straight toward them, according to KMOV.
That’s when one of the cops fired a specialized bean bag round into the front passenger window, in order to stop the car, police said.
Broken glass went flying into Conner’s face and eyes and she was rushed to a nearby hospital, but doctors were unable to save her left eye.
“Thanks [to] all my Facebook friends for your support,” she wrote Wednesday on Facebook.
“Im blind in my left eye and they took it out because i got [shot] in my face … but thank god that i can see the world.”
Conner also remained optimistic for Thanksgiving, but made it clear that she feels the police should pay for what they did.
“Im soo thankful that im here too spend thanksgiving with my family and my kids even tho im still in pain,” she wrote Thursday. “I will have justices for what they did too me but I happy im alive.”
Conner’s father, Donnell, also called for something to be done for what happened to his daughter.
“I’m very upset, very disappointed with tactics that they used trying to get control of the situation,” he told KMOV. “I understand it’s a tough job, I understand that it was chaos, but there was no reason to fire upon an innocent person sitting in a vehicle.”
