A lawyer for BreonnaTaylor described the decision not to charge anyone with her death as 'outrageous and offensive': SayHerName BreonnaTaylorProtests

which was announced yesterday, charged Brett Hankison – one of the three officers present on the scene – with “wanton endangerment” related to shots fired into a neighbour’s apartment during their raid on her home, not with Taylor’s death. The other two officers present at the scene face no charges.

“Her killing was criminal on so many levels: an illegal warrant obtained by perjury. Breaking into a home without announcing, despite instructions to execute a warrant that required it. More than 30 gunshots fired, many of which were aimed at Breonna while she was on the ground. Many others fired blindly into every room of her home. A documented and clear cover-up, and the death of an unarmed Black woman who posed no threat and who was living her best life.

“For the sake of Breonna Taylor, for the sake of justice, and for the sake of all Americans, law enforcement agencies and their representatives throughout the country need to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Is this who you are? Is this the example you want to set for the rest of the world and for future generations?”

Breonna Taylor: protestors took to the street last night after the grand jury's decision not to charge anyone in relation to Taylor's death.despite a 9pm curfew which was put in place ahead of the verdict. Two officers have been shot during the protests and one suspect is in custody.

Opinion: Don’t even pretend to me that the Breonna Taylor verdict was justiceJust one out of three officers was charged today, and that officer will only face charges for wanton endangerment Fascists don’t accept the law Is 'justice' not examining the facts of the case and then determining if any wrong doing occurred and then proceeding as prescribed by law? If it isn't that's ok..I just want to know what justice is. I know some ppl that need justice...whatever that is Blah blah blah. The law cares nothing for your daft feelz.
