Vanessa posted a photo of Kobe Bryant in an 'I can't breathe' t-shirt as a way to support the protests. She posted two more photos regarding the same incident but did not add any caption.

Protests began after a 46-year-old George Floyd was killed while in police custody. The incident was captured on video and showed a police officer named Derek Chauvin pressing on Floyd's neck with his knee. Floyd was constantly struggling, saying that he cannot breathe. However, Chauvin only stopped when he stopped struggling.
Chauvin was later charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. As per CBS News, over 7,200 people were arrested during the protests across 43 US cities.
