police barged into his home with no warrant and began to assault him infront of his grandmother. they then dragged his body and threw him into the back of the police car, they claimed he was armed which was proven false. he passed away in custody.

brought into police custody for “being intoxicated in public” she was slowly becoming unconscious. she needed medical attention immediately. the police arrested her instead.and upon finding her almost lifeless body in the cell did nothing to try to save her.

tj hickey, :
one of the most famous cases in australia, tj was being pursued by police at random. he was on his motorcycle and afraid...he slammed into tree and passed away instantly
it was ruled an “accident”
tj’s family STILL advocate for #BlackLivesMatterhttps://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> to honour him.

mr ward:
one of the most horrific cases. arrested for a traffic offence and thrown into the back of a police van in 45 degree heat, he suffered BURNS and eventually passed away of a heat stroke. the officers didnt check on him until they heard a thud. #BlackLivesMatterhttps://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">

these are just a small number of lives lost, there is plenty more and i will try to continue this thread as i go and remember more stories. so i can try to put faces to them. police violence to indigenous people is always brushed off. aus stays complicit #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
