Kayla Moore

Kayla Moore was a black transgender woman with schizophrenia murdered by the police department of Berkeley in 2013. The officers made transphobic remarks and called her "it".
Her roomate called 911 because Kayla was experiencing mental health crisis and needed medical help.
A warrant for someone with the same name as her was found, but even if the person was 20 years older than she was, they still restrained her.
When the officers arrived, they handcuffed her and she was placed under arrest. Then, they wrestled her to the ground using full body weight until she stopped breathing.
In 2014, her father filed a wrongful death lawsuit, that was dismissed in 2018, because they "didn't have enough evidence to show that she was discriminated against".
More details are in the petition.

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.
