Lewis Hamilton is committed to social wrongs and that's why he appeared on stage in Mugello with a special T-shirt. On that T-shirt it said 'Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor'. An innocent black woman who was accidentally shot dead by police in the United States because cops were too reckless in a raid.

No charge of murder

On Wednesday the 'grand jury' in Louisville sued agent Brett Hankison for 'wanton endangerment', which means as much as reckless violence. Hankison fired and the bullets went through the wall, hitting Taylor. Hankison is not literally charged with murder because of this. Something that Hamilton falls heavily on.

On Instagram, the driver of Mercedes talked about this. "I'm so sad but not surprised at this outcome. Police continue to get away with murder every single day and it needs to stop! She was innocent and did not deserve to be shot and killed. Where is the justice, this clearly isn't it!"

Released on bail

Meanwhile, Hankison has been released on bail and that also hurts, because it is not fair. "It hurts to know somebody was killed and nobody was held accountable. Imagine that was your mum, your brother or sister or friend, her life mattered but the system which was meant to protect her all because of her skin colour. So mad."

Basketball player Lebron James also speaks out about the case and claims not to be at all surprised by the indictment. He is terribly sorry for what happened and sympathizes with Breonna Taylor's family, ESPN quotes the athletes.
