I’ve linked a few petitions under the descriptions of who they are and what happened, that you can sign and give justice for these beautiful people taken from the world because of the colour of their skin.
On May 25, Minneapolis police officers arrested George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, after a convenience store employee called 911 and told the police that Floyd had bought cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 bill. Seventeen minutes after the first squad car arrived at the scene, Mr. Floyd was unconscious and pinned beneath three police officers, showing no signs of life. Floyd was pinned to the ground by officer Chauvin, he kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds. Chauvin did not remove his knee even after Mr. Floyd lost consciousness, and for a full minute after paramedics arrived at the scene.

On November 22, 2014, Tamir Rice was throwing snowballs and playing with a toy pellet gun in a Cleveland park when a police car rolled into the snowy field. Within two seconds of getting out of his squad car, officer Timothy Loehmann shot and killed the 12-year-old.

Garner was arrested on suspicion of illegally selling loose cigarettes on 17 July, 2014.
There’s a video of the arrest recorded by a bystander, Mr Pantaleo, who is white, is seen with his arm wrapped around Garner’s neck as they struggled on a street in the city’s Staten Island borough.
The officer’s lawyer contends his client used approved tactics to arrest Garner, but earlier this month NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Trials Rosemarie Maldonado ruled that Mr Pantaleo had used a chokehold – which is banned by the police department.
As the officers continued to restrain Garner, the asthmatic was heard repeatedly saying: “I can’t breathe.” The 43-year-old father of six, appeared to lose consciousness and later was pronounced dead in hospital.
