Protestors are also demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, who was shot dead by police officers Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove in her own home in March; Ahmaud Arbery, who was murdered by two white men, Gregory and Travis McMichael, while jogging in February; Tony McDade, who was shot dead by an unnamed police officer last week; and countless other Black victims of police brutality and anti-Black racism.
