2. The 17-year-old "police admirer" who was arrested for allegedly shooting two protesters in Kenosha.

3. The family of Christopher Alder – a man who died in police custody – taking legal action against South Yorkshire Police after his body was mixed up with another and stored in a mortuary for 11 years.

3. Celebrities, including Naomi Osaka and members of the NBA, striking in protest of Jacob Blake's shooting and police brutality.

4. Taylor Swift donating £23,000 to the GoFundMe page of a teenager who was denied student loan funding.
