What are your thoughts on the handling of this case?

  • A series of protests are occurring accross the US after a grand jury opted not to charge the police officers involved for the controversial killing of Breonna Taylor. She was shot and killed while sleeping as Louisville police carried out a no-knock warrant and raided her home. 

  • Protesters have gathered in their masses in ever major US city chanting: “Say her name! Breonna Taylor” and “No justice, no peace.”

  • In the midst of these protests, two police officers in Louisville were shot, suffering non-fatal injuries. A suspect is believed to be in custody.

  • Former Louisville police officer Brett Hankinson faces three felony counts of first-degree wanton endangerment. None of the other officers involved in the fatal shooting were indicted. No homicide charges related to Taylor's murder were issued/

  • The Louisville mayor announced a curfew in anticipation of the Taylor announcement. Mayor Greg Fischer issued an on-camera statement saying he hoped Cameron’s announcement would be met with “a peaceful, lawful response like we have seen the majority of the past four months.” Fischer announced the city would observe a curfew for the next three nights, from 9pm to 6.30am.

  • Senator Kamala Harris said Taylor and her family “deserve justice yesterday, today and tomorrow”. Asked about the indictment, the California senator said she had not yet had the chance to fully review the indictment.

  • Kentucky’s attorney general, Daniel Cameron, denied that the search warrant carried out at Breonna Taylor’s home was a “no-knock warrant”. Cameron claimed the police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Taylor identified themselves before entering the apartment. Cameron said that information was corroborated by a witness. But according to a 911 call placed by Taylor’s boyfriend shortly after she was shot, he did not know the shooters were police officers. “I don’t know what’s happening,” Kenneth Walker said in the call. “Somebody kicked in the door and shot my girlfriend.”
