This is a sample of those killed by police from 2009-2014. Unfortunately, this is no where near the complete
list; more cases have come up since work on this project began. Multiple factors contributed to the cases
chosen for this illustration. In all cases, the victim was unarmed, and the shooter was not endangered in any
sense. The cases chosen express the increased aggression by the police force against the Black populations;
these are not merely accidents, but results of anger against an already oppressed population. The term
genocide refers to the UN defintion as Any intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, racial, or
religious group. The justice system continues to work as protection for murderous law enforcement officials
and fail in bringing justice to the families of these slain Americans.
