One day after Yungblud and Halsey reunited to protest the death of George Floyd, the former couple was forced to act as nurses after a Santa Monica demonstration turned bloody following a violent clash with police.
The pair wore masks and held signs saying, 'Black Lives Matter, ' as they chanted with others on the riot's frontline.
Halsey claims that police "gassed and fired" at peaceful protesters.

The announcement comes in the midst of protests around the city in response to the death of George Floyd, a black man in Minneapolis who died after a white police officer forcefully knelt on his neck (the officer has since been charged with murder).
