UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Leslie Smith has taken a stand against police brutality and systemic racism. Following her win over Amanda Bell at Bellator 245 this past Friday, Smith expressed concern over the recent deaths Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, both whom died at the hands of police earlier this year. Taylor, a Black woman, was killed by police officers in Louisville who reportedly were executing a so-called no-knock search warrant at her home. Police were investigating a suspected drug dealer, and Taylor’s home was part of a search warrant because of her past relationship with the suspect. When Taylor’s boyfriend reportedly opened fire on police after they used a battering ram to enter the house, the three officers fired back and killed Taylor in the process.
