Breonna Taylor

Breonna taylor was 26 years old medical technician who was fatally shot by the Lousiville police on March 13th, 2020.
It was shortly after midnight when 3 police officers entered Breonna and her boyfriend's appartment. They force opened the door with a battering ram. The police was investigating two men selling drugs, and Breonna's appartment was supposedly where they would hide the drugs and receive packages. They did a search through the appartment, but no drugs were found.
The police said they announced themselves and knocked several times, but neighbors stated that they heard no announcement and only a dispute, that made Kenneth Walker, Breonna's boyfriend, act in self-defence thinking someone was trying to break in. When the door was door, Walker attacked an officer blindly to the leg. The other officers then opened fire and shot randomly across the apartment: The kitchen, the hallway, the bathroom, living room and both bedrooms. Breonna was shot at least eight times and declared dead at the scene.
The police then filled a pratically blank incident report, that said Breonna was not injured, even though she had gunshot wounds. It also said that there was no forced entry, even though they used a battering ram.
Walker inicially faced criminal charges of 1st degree assault and an attempt to kill a policeman, but released from jail because of covid-19 issues. In late May, all charges against Kenneth were dismissed. 
All police officers involved were placed under administrative reassignment. The FBI is leading its own investigation.
Early June, Brett Hankinson, one of the police officers involved, was removed from the Louisville Police Merit Board, and then fired four days later. Hankinson is also investigated for sexual assault, and two allegations were posted on Facebook during June about this matter: Morgan Miller and Margo Borders. Another allegation by Emily Terry also resurfaced on Instagram. She said: "Not all cops are bad, but this one is".
The Council later passed Breonna's law, banning knock warrants.
None of the other cops were arrested or fired, and we need justice for this woman.

Malik Thomas

Malik Thomas was 9 years old when he was BURNED ALIVE in Arizona, on May 22, 2006. Malik was murdered by the son of a white police officer and another classmate of his. They showered him with gasoline and set fire to the child and are still free after 14 years. The police had released very little information about the murder and after two weeks, they still said that ic could be an accident.  Another child, who was Mexican, said that he was also targeted for attack but ran before they could catch him. The officers said that he was playing and found a bottle of gasoline and proceeded to throw lit matches at it, which makes no sense, because even a kid would know not to play with fire. sign JUSTICE FOR MALIK here
