The U.S. Justice Department announced civil rights charges Thursday against four Louisville police officers over the drug raid that led to the death of Breonna Taylor, a Black woman whose fatal shooting contributed to the racial justice protests that rocked the U.S. in the spring and summer of 2020.

The charges are another effort to hold law enforcement accountable for the killing of the 26-year-old medical worker after one of the officers was acquitted of state charges earlier this year.

“Breonna Taylor should be alive today,” he said. The charges range from unlawful conspiracies, use of force and obstruction of justice, Garland said. Local activists and members of the Taylor family celebrated the charges and thanked federal officials.Some of Taylor's family and other supporters gathered in a park downtown Thursday and chanted “Say her name, Breonna Taylor!”

Garland said the officers at Taylor's home just after midnight on March 13, 2020, “were not involved in the drafting of the warrant, and were unaware of the false and misleading statements.” Hankison was the only officer charged Thursday who was on the scene that night.

When exactly is importing 'american issues' good and when is it bad?

Great. Now do “Doug Ford is lying to Ontarians.”

BS pushed on by BLM ..where are they when blacks kill blacks every single day?

She dindu nuffin.

Let me get this straight, her thug boyfriend( who has never been charged with anything) shoots at cops causing return fire that hits her and cops are charged. Why would anyone want to be a cop in America?

Should not have taken this long

Police did some things wrong and will be held accountable. However, this all could have been avoided in the first place if she didn't chose to date a Thug Piece of shit. If you chose to be with a man that breaks the law & lives that gangsta life, sometimes there are consequences.

Long overdue. BreonnaTaylor
