Breonna Taylor killing: Officer facing criminal charges 6 months after shooting...
 

A police officer has been indicted on criminal charges following the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in March, which led to months of protests across the US.

Ms Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician, was woken from her bed before being shot several times after police burst into her Kentucky apartment at night using a so-called "no knock" arrest warrant that did not require them to announce themselves.

Police typically use them in drug cases over concerns that evidence could be destroyed if they announce their arrival.

The warrant used, however, was connected to a suspect who did not live there, and no drugs were found inside the home.

The use of no-knock warrants has since been banned by Louisville's Metro Council.

Ms Taylor's death sparked months of protests in Louisville and across the US, with the demonstrations intensified by the high-profile killings of other unarmed African Americans by police, such as George Floyd in Minneapolis and Daniel Prude in Rochester, New York.

Still no charges filed for her unlawful death though, the indictment completely ignores her death

Not good enough, murder charges for all of the murderous *****. They should rot for life for what they did.

The fact he’s getting charged for firing bullets blind into her apartment and someone else’s, but not for murdering her when they shouldn’t have been there in the first place is the epitome of the American justice system for black people

that's not fucking justice

He deserves a murder charge, not some soft charge, disgusting.

..so many protests again at this news../...decision....the struggle for justice continues...

6 months for murder is a joke, should've been 6 year sentence :idc:

tell me where the justice is in innocent policemen being shot

:facepalm:

THis is justice. Grand jury decision

"Mob justice is not justice. Justice sought by violence is not justice. It just becomes revenge."

Mr Cameron, a Republican who is the state's first black attorney general, added: "If we simply act on emotion or outrage, there is no justice.

no you're absolutely right, innocent policement do not deserve to suffer for what their corrupt colleagues did

...I’ll just quote this down because of the protests that I was referring to and that most media are referring to in their reporting of being mainly peaceful protests...

6 months for murder that was premeditated, they went to that house knowing fair well the person they were looking for was in custody yet still went and shot and killed a innocent young woman for no reason

2 police officers have been shot

so far..

your information is wrong

no one was tried for murder as murder did not take place

But we know your opinion had the roles been reversed.

:umm2:

it was murder though, but as it is a police officer, a 6 months sentence

if it was a random individual, i am pretty sure it would be a longer sentence, but justice system is just a fail in even when cops commit crimes they get protected which is what they know so they can do this over and over again, since they won't receive harsh punishments anyway

and bad cops makes the police force look bad in general either (re: those 2 innocent policemen being shot, that one is on corrupt cops their hands)

no it was not

it was wanton endangerment

How can breaking into a house you had no right to be in then killing the person inside not be murder

I feel sorry for Breonna. This is all her boyfriends fault.

Of course the police office is going to be **** scared and ready to fire at anything that moves with the potential of that monster around.

It's not right but the police office was just trying to save his own life.

Cause they got a shiny badge

A lack of adequate justice seen to be done is what leads to vigilantism, I'm not condoning it but if you can't rely on the rule of law to be applied equally regardless of status or role in society then it will happen.
We are conditioned to demand retribution.

They were trying to stop a dangerous man. Your head is wrapped through the online faux outrage.

Work out who the good guys are and who the bad guys are, please. its actually very simple.

Poor Breonna is innocent victim in the crossfire
