tw | racism , antiblack, death
on march 13th, Breonna Taylor, a medical technician, was shot and killed by by three Louisville police officers during a botched raid in her apartment.
former officer Brett Hankison (one of the three officers who killed Breonna Taylor) was charged for three counts of first degree wanton endangerment for bullets that went into a neighboring unit near the scene of Breonna Taylor’s death. the charges are not linked to her case.
the two officers that were involved in the killing (Myles Cosgrove and Jonathan Mattingly) will not be charged with any crime. the grand jury decided that the two officers were justified in shooting into the apartment because Taylor’s boyfriend shot first.
the grand jury decision caused outrage in media, demanding that if Hankison’s behavior was wanton endangerment towards neighbors, then it should’ve been ruled wanton endangerment to Breonna Taylor as well.
