The singer says in her letter: 'Don't let this case fall into the pattern of no action after a terrible tragedy.'

Last week, the city of Louisville banned the use of the controversial"no-knock" warrants.But Beyonce said the officers should be fired and charged over Ms Taylor's death, and also called for an investigation into the LMPD's response to the killing.

"With every death of a black person at the hands of the police, there are two real tragedies: the death itself, and the inaction and delays that follow it. This is your chance to end that pattern," she said.At the bottom of the letter, she linked to two petitions demanding the officers be fired.Sky News will broadcast a global debate show on Tuesday night at 8pm - looking at the issues raised by the Black Lives Matter protests, and examining institutional racism and how we fix it.
