Breonna
before and after him. Though there should continue to be justice for him, all of our fallen people deserve the same. Taylor's mother even filed a wrongful death lawsuit against their Police Department, but to no avail.

There is one difference in their cases, aside from how they were murdered, that's raised another question: why are there more protests for Floyd than Taylor?
There are many BLM and George Floyd protests, marches, etc., but few fail to
