**People killed by police/military/national guard** 1. Renee Good 2. Allison Krause 3. Charles Whitman 4. George Floyd 5. Bonnie and Clyde 6. Micah Xavier Johnson 7. Breonna Taylor 8. Eric Garner 9. Osama bin Laden 10. Jerzy Popieluszko Polish priest who was critical of the communist regime and was kidnapped and then murdered by the secret police. He is considered a martyr and has subsequently been beatified. Nitpick ETA: I’m pretty sure Charles Whitman was shot by _Austin_ policemen. Unless a couple of Dallas cops just happened to be on a road trip that day 🙂 ---
