SAY HER NAME: BREONNA TAYLOR.

Our current justice & policing system has failed. It has failed to keep us safe, even in our own homes. It has failed to protect Black people or stem the tide of racist police violence. And today, it has failed to deliver justice for #BreonnaTaylor.
Fmr @LMPD detective Brett Hankison has been indicted on 3 counts of “first-degree wanton endangerment” for shooting into 3 apartments.

NONE of the charges mention the murder of #BreonnaTaylor. NONE of the charges address the “wanton” disregard for HER LIFE.

This isn't justice.
By refusing to hold Breonna's murderers accountable, @kyoag + @louisvillemayor have failed Louisville. They’ve failed Kentucky. And they’ve once again sided with violent, killer cops over their Black constituents.

This is unacceptable. And we must continue to demand justice NOW.
Make no mistake: These cops are still a threat to our communities. As long as they’re allowed to wear badges, Black people in Louisville are not safe.

And until #Louisville divests from violent policing+corrections—nearly 50% of the city budget—BIPOC in Louisville are in danger.
By failing to bring charges in the brutal killing of #BreonnaTaylor, Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron has denied justice to Bre, her family, her community, and everyone across the country demanding accountability for her death.

We won’t stop fighting to demand #JusticeForBre.
For 194 days, folks in #Louisville have demanded the officers who murdered Breonna — Hankison, Mattingly, Cosgrove — are charged for her murder. @BLMLouisville and people across the nation have demanded JUSTICE, divestment from violent policing, and investments in Black lives.
. @kyoag's failure to bring charges for the murder of #BreonnaTaylor is another injustice. AG Cameron just told @LMPD it is OK to kill Black people w/ impunity.

@kyoag and #Louisville leaders' decision to stand w/ the cops who murdered Breonna is why we shout #BLACKLIVESMATTER !
