Cop Walk In The Breonna Taylor Murder!

No Justice for Breonna Taylor.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

DITCH MITCH!

GET RID OF THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY LEADER.

VOTE FOR AMY MCGARTH

Louisville, Kentucky prepares for unrest tonight. A Kentucky grand jury indicted former Louisville Metro Police detective Brett Hankison for wanton endangerment in connection with the Breonna Taylor killing back in March.

Black Republican attorney general, Daniel Cameron coon walked through a police shooting saying that they were justified in their shooting of Breonna Taylor and arrest of her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker.

Cameron sold out his race out for the police unions and white nationalists.

Cameron called the Taylor's death "a gut-wrenching emotional case" where "the pain is understandable." He defended the length of the investigation, saying the time reflected "how important it was to get this right."

"I know that not everyone will be satisfied," he said of the grand jury decision. "Our job is to present the facts to the grand jury, and the grand jury then applies the facts ... If we simply act on outrage, there is no justice. Mob justice is not justice. Justice sought by violence is not justice. It just becomes revenge."

Hankison faces a Class D felony which carries a five year bid in the iron college. Hankison fired into neighboring apartments.

Hankison, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Det. Myles Cosgrove were not criminally charge with manslaughter or murder.

No charges for the cops who shot Breonna Taylor.

Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old African-American woman, was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) officers Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove on March 13, 2020. Three plainclothes LMPD officers (wearing vests reading "POLICE") entered her apartment in Louisville, Kentucky, executing a no-knock search warrant. According to the New York Times, "While the department had gotten court approval for a 'no-knock' entry, the orders were changed before the raid to 'knock and announce,' meaning that the police had to identify themselves."

According to the police account and a witness at the scene, the officers knocked and announced their identity before forcing entry, but the police and the witness differ as to how they announced themselves. Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, and 11 other witnesses deny that the officers announced themselves at all.

Walker and the officers exchanged gunfire. Walker has said that he believed the officers were intruders. The officers fired over 20 shots. Taylor was shot five times, according to her death certificate, and LMPD Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly was injured by gunfire.Another officer and an LMPD lieutenant were on the scene when the warrant was executed.

The primary targets of the LMPD investigation were Jamarcus Glover and Adrian Walker, who were suspected of selling controlled substances from a drug house more than 10 miles away.

According to a Taylor family attorney, Glover had dated Taylor two years before and continued to have a "passive friendship".

The search warrant included Taylor's residence because it was suspected that Glover received packages containing drugs at Taylor's apartment and because a car registered to Taylor had been seen parked on several occasions in front of Glover's house.

Specifically, the warrant alleges that in January 2020, Glover left Taylor's apartment with an unknown package, presumed to be drugs, and subsequently went to a known drug apartment with this package soon afterward. This warrant states that this event was verified "through a US Postal Inspector". In May 2020, the U.S. postal inspector in Louisville publicly announced that the collaboration with law enforcement had never actually occurred. The postal office stated they were actually asked to monitor packages going to Taylor's apartment from a different agency, but after doing so, they concluded, "There's [sic] no packages of interest going there". The public revelation put the investigation and especially the warrant into question and resulted in an internal investigation.

No drugs were found in Taylor's apartment after the warrant was executed.

Kenneth Walker, who was licensed to carry a firearm and under the assumption someone was breaking into his apartment, fired first, injuring a law enforcement officer, whereupon police returned fire into the apartment with more than 20 rounds. A wrongful death lawsuit filed against the police by the Taylor family's attorney alleges that the officers, who entered Taylor's home "without knocking and without announcing themselves as police officers", opened fire "with a total disregard for the value of human life", but the police account claims the officers did knock and announce themselves before forcing entry.

A New York Times investigation concluded that a neighbor heard the officers shout "Police!" once (contrary to what law enforcement told investigators) and knocked three times, while 11 other neighbors heard no announcement. Every witness account conflicts with law enforcement's.

Daniel Cameron coons for white nationalism.

A neighbor involved in the New York Times investigation filed a lawsuit against the officers involved in the raid. The lawsuit claims, among other things, that a man was nearly shot, that law enforcement "spray[ed] gunfire into Chelsey Napper's apartment with a total disregard for the value of human life" and "A bullet that was shot from the defendant police officers' gun flew inches past Cody Etherton's head while he was in the hallway of Chelsey Napper's apartment". The man is unidentified; Napper is understood to be a pregnant woman and Etherton is understood to be a child.

On September 23, 2020, a state grand jury indicted Brett Hankison on three counts of wanton endangerment, for his actions that led to the near-death situation in Napper's apartment. The two other officers involved in the raid were not indicted, and while Hankison was indicted for his actions during the Breonna Taylor raid, he was not indicted for Taylors death specifically.

On June 23, 2020, Officer Brett Hankison was fired for his actions during the raid. In his termination letter, his chief says Hankison's conduct "displayed an extreme indifference to the value of human life" and is a "shock to the conscience" as he "wantonly and blindly fired ten (10) rounds". The chief blamed him for the gunshots that led to the Napper lawsuit.

On September 15, 2020, the City of Louisville agreed to pay Taylor's family $12 million and reform police practices as part of a settlement.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky in a tweet called the decision to not charge the officers in her death "the latest miscarriage of justice in our nation's long history of denying that Black lives matter."

"Once again, a prosecutor has refused to hold law enforcement accountable for killing a young Black woman. Breonna Taylor should still be alive today."

The NAACP said in a statement that the justice system "failed" Taylor and the charges against one officer do "not go far enough."

Ben Crump embraces Breonna's mother.

Demonstrators at a makeshift memorial to Taylor in downtown Louisville called for Cameron to step down after the charges were announced in court and the former's detective's bond was set at $15,000.

Some demonstrators marched in the downtown area.

"I understand that Miss Breanna Taylor's death has become a part of a national story in conversation," Cameron said. "We must also remember the facts and the collection of evidence in this case are different than cases elsewhere in the country. Each is unique and cannot be compared."

The charges come more than six months after Taylor, a 26-year-old Black EMT and aspiring nurse, was shot to death by Louisville police officers in her home. The officers broke down the door to her apartment while executing a late-night warrant in a narcotics investigation on March 13.

Louisville has prepared for the possibility of unrest from the decision. For months, protesters have criticized the length of the investigation and demanded the arrests of all officers involved.

Anticipating new protests, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and Louisville Interim Police Chief Robert Schroeder Wednesday afternoon announced a 72-hour countywide curfew starting 9 p.m. Government buildings will be closed.

The Kentucky National Guard has been activated, Schroeder said.

"I urge everyone to commit once again to a peaceful, lawful response, like we've seen here for the majority of the past several months," Fisher said.

The city and the police department had already declared states of emergency and set up barricades restricting vehicle access to downtown areas. Stores and restaurants have boarded up their windows, and some federal buildings closed for the week. Protesters started gathering Wednesday morning, hours before the expected announcement.

Taylor's death set off outrage across the country, chants of "say her name," calls to arrest the officers, and a renewed focus on the Black women killed by police. Her story gained wider attention during nationwide demonstrations that followed the late May killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.

Cameron, the first Black person to hold the post and a Republican rising star, was made a special prosecutor in the case in May, and the FBI opened an investigation as well.

A day after the grand jury convened, Sgt. Mattingly sent a mass email to the department early Tuesday defending his actions and slamming the city's leadership.

In June, Hankison was fired for "wantonly and blindly" firing into Taylor's apartment, Louisville's police chief said. Six officers involved in the incident are under internal investigation, LMPD said on Tuesday.

There's no justice in America.

The city of Louisville announced on Sept. 15 a historic $12 million settlement of the family's wrongful death lawsuit. The city also agreed to enact police reforms which include using social workers to provide support on certain police runs and requiring commanders to review and approve search warrants before seeking judicial approval.

When will it end?

Gun violence never takes a break.

Even in a moment of socially distanced unity, there's violence in the country. A need to do something about gun violence should have happened but it never does. With the utter hypocrisy of Republicans and far-right agitators, the cycle of gun violence will continue on.

They'll offer phony sympathy when it comes to the victims of gun violence. They'll spend time after time telling Americans that "now it isn't the time to talk" and usually throw the "my heart goes out to" and the "thoughts and prayers" nonsense. The National Rifle Association is disgrace. They don't care about gun safety or gun reform. All they care about it keeping more of these weapons of mass destruction on the streets of America.

Everyday at least 103 people die from gun violence. I can't even tell you how many stories I've missed involving gun violence in the country.

WHEN COPS SEE A BLACK PERSON WITH A FIREARM REGARDLESS OF IT BEING LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, THEY AUTOMATICALLY SHOOT THE BLACK PERSON. EVEN AN UNARMED BLACK PERSON JUST REACHING FOR A WALLET OR A DOOR HANDLE COULD BE KILLED BY THE COPS. NOW A BLACK PERSON FLEEING AN ARRESTING OFFICER COULD BE KILLED. WHETHER THEY'RE IN THEIR VEHICLE OR RUNNING FROM THEM. THE COPS WILL SHOOT THE BLACK PERSON. A BLACK PERSON IN THEIR OWN HOME COULD BE SHOT BY THE POLICE IF THEY KNOCK DOWN YOUR DOOR IN THE EARLY MORNING. THEY COULD SHOT YOU IF YOU'RE IN THE BACKYARD MINDING YOUR BUSINESS AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SUSPECT. THEY CAN SHOOT YOU IN THE BACK. THEY CAN EVEN SHOT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY PET WITHOUT REPRECUSIONS.

THE POLICE AND JUNK FOOD MEDIA TRY TO MAKE THE VICTIM, "THE BAD GUY" BY BRINGING UP THEIR PAST HISTORY,  SOCIAL MEDIA OR FAMILY LIFE. 

MANY WHITES (IN LARGE GROUPS) HAVE FIREARMS IN FRONT OF POLICE AND THEY NEVER GET SHOT OR KILLED. WHY AREN'T THEY AFRAID OF THEM?

WHENEVER SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THE LACK OF BLACK FATHERS, I CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE THIS BULLSHIT. I OFTEN REMIND THEM THAT THE POLICE KILL BLACK FATHERS. THE POLICE LEAVE CHILDREN OF COLOR WITHOUT A BLACK FATHER. AND NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD BRING THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED BY THE COPS.

We have unrest in the nation. African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans had enough of the status quo in politics, religion, entertainment and law. The need to change started on May 25, 2020 when a cop placed his knee on the neck of an American citizen. He screamed, "I can't breathe...." and cried for his "mama."

Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government. They are enabling this. Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily-livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence.

I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths. I hear the same old talking points about "good guys with guns" and "god's given rights."

Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.

It never happens in your community ... Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence will affect your town, your family and your life.

What can get a Black person killed by the police?

A cop mistakenly enters a home thinking its theirs.

A cop issuing a no-knock warrant on a place that doesn't have a suspect living there.

A cop hearing a motorist telling him he's legally armed and is trying to get his license.

A cop believing you passed off a phony dollar bill.

A cop seeing your child playing with a toy gun and mistakens it as a real firearm.

A cop seeing a man turn his back on him when you tell them you're not complying to an unwanted detainment.

All of these above.

So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.

African Americans are going to send a message to the police.... Our message is pure and simple!

STOP KILLING US! STOP USING THE "I FEAR FOR MY LIFE" AS AN EXCUSE!

Everytime a person of color is shot and killed by the police, the far-right wants to look up the criminal history of the suspect.

WE ARE GETTING TIRED OF THIS NARRATIVE! NO MORE EXCUSES! IF YOU CAN DETAIN ARMED WHITE SUSPECT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DETAIN A BLACK MAN WITHOUT USING DEADLY FORCE!

WE ARE GETTING TIRED OF THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA ALWAYS SHOWING THE MUGSHOTS OF A PERSON OF COLOR BEING SHOT BY THE COPS! WHY CAN'T THEY USE PICTURES OF THE VICTIM BEING A HUMAN BEING AND NOT A CRIMINAL. THEY SHOWED POSITIVE PICTURES OF THAT WHITE TERRORIST WHO KILLED TWO PROTESTERS IN WISCONSIN. THEY HAVEN'T SHOWN HIS MUGSHOT YET. 

IF YOU FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE, YOU SHOULD NOT BE A MEMBER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT!

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
