Halsey provided first aid to those injured in the protests following George Floyd’s death while in police custody.

The “You Should Be Sad” singer, 25, shared photos and videos from the Los Angeles rallies, including pictures of her providing medical attention to those shot with rubber bullets.

“With all of our medical professionals being CONSUMED and EXHAUSTED with Covid, there is little to no medical attention available,” she wrote in her Instagram post. “I have first hand treated men women and children who have been shot in the chest, the face, the back. Some will lose vision some have lost fingers. I have been covered in innocent blood.”

Halsey, who claimed on Sunday that she was “shot, gassed + antagonized,” opened up about her biracial roots and how they’ve affected her in light of the riots taking place.

“My father is a black man. My mother is an EMT. This week I had to put those two associations together in ways that have horrified me,” she shared. “This is NOT a virtue signaling post. But I HAVE to show you what I am witnessing with my own eyes.”

The “Without Me” songstress also implored those sitting in “the comfort” of their homes to open their eyes.

“It’s easy from the comfort of your home to watch looting and rioting on television and condone the violent measures being taken by forces. But what you don’t see is innocent peaceful protestors being shot at and tear gassed and physically assaulted relentlessly,” she explained.

“You think it’s not happening, it’s only the ‘thugs’ and the ‘riots,’ right? The police are keeping you safe right? You’re wrong. This is happening everywhere. And innocent people exercising their rights to speech and assembly are facing violence and abuse of power.”

Her post received an outpouring of praise.
