Singer Madonna called for police officers involved in fatal shooting incidents to be stripped of their due process following the fatal police shootings of Adam Toledo and Daunte Wright.
“As for police killing innocent children, shooting and suffocating and brutalizing innocent people, they should go immediately to jail for the rest of their lives,” Madonna told her nearly 16 million followers on Instagram.
“No trial, no corrupt justice system,” she added with a photo of her standing in front of posters that repeatedly display the hashtags #GunControlNow and #WakeUpAmerica.
“Adam Toledo was 13 years old, Daunte Wright was 20! The Officers who killed them are only being charged with manslaughter. This is insanity. Horrific,” she added in one Instagram post on Saturday. “And yet it has become normalized in our society.”
“Yes-people kill people, not guns. But the vast majority of people are not enlightened and guns are too easy to own. If they were outlawed then no one would feel the need to own a gun to protect themselves from those who have guns,” the singer-songwriter continued.
The post came hours after another post described gun control as “a new vaccination.”
“It’s called GUN CONTROL! Should be mandatory. It will SAVE LIVES!” she wrote in one post.
Madonna’s posts drew some backlash, and one user responded that the celebrity possibly utilizes armed security.
The follower, Karen Gayler, commented: “I bet you have people with guns to protect you and your family.”

“If you take the guns away criminals will ALWAYS find weapons,” she continued. “You live behind high walls with protection. You do not live in the real world. Criminals do not fear police, judges, or jail. But if we are an armed society they would fear the victims.”
Madonna retorted: “B—- I don’t have any security or armed guards around me. Come see me and tell me to my face how not real my world is. I dare you.”
