This is why we say Abolish The Police. Say her name. Valentina Orellana Peralta. 14 yr. old Chilean immigrant who had been in the US only 6 months with her mother. Changing clothes inside a Burlington Coat Factory changing room and bullets from a wild wild west type LAPD shooting pierced thru the wall and killed her.

This is not an accident! This is a direct result of the way policing is conducted in Amerikkka. The suspect they were shooting at was also killed — 24-year-old Daniel Elena Lopez — he did not have a gun next to his body, there was a metal lock. So to be clear, this was not a shoot out! This was LAPD murdering people that did not need to die!

This is from USA Today: As of Friday, LAPD officers had shot at least 37 people in 2021, killing 17 of them — substantially more than they shot or killed in either of the last two years. They have killed four people just in the last week, with two men killed in separate incidents on Saturday, and in the latest incident shot another man Christmas Eve.

We demand justice for those murdered by LAPD! We are actively reaching out to the family and letting them know we support them and got their back! #SayHerName #JusticeForValentina #AbolishThePolice
