Osaka added in her statement that she is \"exhausted of having a new hashtag pop up every few days and I'm extremely tired of having this same conversation over and over again.\"

\"When will it ever be enough?\" she asked, ending her statement with Jacob Blake's name, Breonna Taylor's name, Elijah McClain's name and George Floyd's name.

Taylor was fatally shot in Louisville, Kentucky, on March 13 by police who were conducting a \"no-knock\" search warrant. Elijah McClain died at the age of 23 on Aug. 24, 2019, when he was walking home and stopped by Aurora, Colorado, police, was detained and put in a chokehold and administered ketamine by paramedics.

George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis on Memorial Day after former police officer Derek Chauvin put his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes.
