As #BreonnaTaylor showed us, no-knock warrants have deadly consequences for innocent law-abiding Black people! @MinneapolisPD executed a no-knock warrant yesterday at 6:48am, killing Amir Locke while he was wrapped in a blanket on the couch. Now we demand #JusticeForAmirLocke!! pic.twitter.com/FLKqR0eszP

2020: Breonna Taylor was murdered by police during a no-knock warrant.

2022: Amir Locke was murdered by police during a no-knock warrant.

In the two years in between? The Senate didn’t even bring the bill to ban no-knock warrants to a vote.

The whole system is guilty.

The police act like hostile military forces in communities of color all across the country because they’re grossly overfunded.

The police are the 6th-leading cause of death for young black men.

Defunding the police isn’t just a “slogan.”

It’s a matter of life and death. pic.twitter.com/4Rz6uGOI6d

We need to Abolish ICE.

They've abused people in their care (33,000 instances of abuse between 2010-2016)

In the last few weeks they've proven to be completely useless, they can't even reunite families.

It's a failed organization that costs us billions ($6bn in 2016).
