There is this false myth going around that Black women are not victims of police violence. I believe the myth exists because quite frankly the media, social justice organizations and we the public tend not to focus on it. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I hope this post will make all of us change our minds. Here are the stories of some of the Black women and girls killed by law enforcement: Adaisha Miller, Detroit Woman, Hugged Cop From Behind LAPD cop charged with assault in death of Alesia Thomas 7-year- old Aiyana Stanley-Jones – Detroit Free Press 17 Year Old Darnesha Harris Dead after Run-In with Breaux Mackala Ross and Delores Epps Eleanor Bumpurs Erica Collins family files lawsuit against Cincy Police Pleasant Grove crash claims life of second person | AL.com (Heather Parker) Family grieves after loved one killed in crash with APD (Jacqueline Culp) Family of victim question police use of deadly force – KWCH (Karen Day) Kendra James remembered at Portland rally | KOIN.com Pedestrian Killed on I-95 in Florida (Laporsha Watson) After Cleveland shooting, cities restrict police chases(Malissa Williams) Miriam Carey, Capitol Suspect, Suffered Post-Partum Depression Elderly Woman Shot & Killed By Hearne Police Officer (Pearlie Golden) Rekia Boyd Settlement: Family Of Unarmed Chicago Woman Former Pa. trooper pleads guilty in fatal accident (Robin T.
