Our minority communities and their leaders are alone in carrying the voice of the people to justice. AG Cameron needs to bring Attorney Benjamin Crump into the office and provide him a quiet room to read the Grand Jury transcript regarding the death of Breonna Taylor. No matter how one approaches this woman's death it was a wrongful death. She was an innocent person cut down in her home.

The officers — Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove — entered the home that Taylor was sleeping in with a no-knock warrant. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced Wednesday that Hankison would be charged with wanton endangerment for firing his weapon into neighboring apartments. He did not charge any officers with Taylor's death.
Cameron also said he is going to create a task force that will review the process by which police officers get and execute search warrants.....
I don't know who is putting enormous pressure on people to stop their demands for justice, but, it needs to stop and the truth is heard.

Frederick Moore III, a lawyer representing Walker, said his client believes Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron blamed Walker for Taylor's murder at a news conference Wednesday following the announcement of the grand jury's decision.
"Yesterday was almost as tough as the day itself," Moore said, speaking on behalf of Walker.
Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician, was shot six times in the hallway of her apartment on March 13 by officers executing a search warrant in a narcotics investigation. Moore said Walker was never the target of a probe and has no criminal record....
Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove never protected her. I do not care if the drug dealer lived in that house while unwitting occupants carried on their lives, THE POLICE EXECUTING THE WARRANT NEVER PROTECTED THE INNOCENT.
There is no such thing as collateral damage in a home where no evidence existed to justify the violent death of Breonna Taylor.
Kenneth Walker never fired a single shot in her direction. He came to the living room to defend his household. All of a sudden he is a subject of a knockless search warrant that resulted in an invasion into that home of innocent people. They had absolutely no idea what was transpiring. That household was allowed to have guns to protect from home invasion.
Don't try to say there was no reason for the guns in the house either. Every law abiding person in the USA has the right to own, carry and use guns. How they use them has to be within the law and that law has become very loose in it's application.
Yes. (click here) Kentucky is a Castle Doctrine state and has a “stand your ground” law. A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat. He or she has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force, if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another. Force may also be used to prevent the commission of a felony involving the use of force. Any person who uses a gun in self-defense has immunity from criminal and civil law.
This looks like classical corruption no different than seen with Michael Brown. In the middle of a Ferguson street in broad daylight young Michael Brown was mercilessly gunned down when he was surrendering to the officer. Killed him and didn't care that he had a life that was promising.
Brioanna Taylor was living the dream. It was the dream promised her for being a responsible citizen. And she was gunned down within the sanctity of her own home in the presence of a man that loved her. There is absolutely no reason for this to happen to any of the African American communities.
There is a great evil at work and it is called racism. These are traumatized communities on many, many levels and the loss of some of their most promising people are being gunned down and put to death in the streets of their communities.
Michael Brown didn't own a gun. Trayvon Martin was a young man without the capacity of owning a gun. How long is this list? None of them owned or were using a gun, yet they are dead, some as young as a child. Is there any reason to expect any of the survivors of these communities to sit silently by and witness more and more of this blatant imposition of government authority?
Right now in the case of Breonna Taylor there needs to be a meeting between Attorney Benjamin Crump and the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron. The attorney and the family have a RIGHT to find peace and look for justice in the death of Breonna. She was doing everything right. EVERYTHING. Someone decided they would look to her wrongfully in a investigation of a known drug dealer. This is some of the worst police investigation work ever to exist and the reason it was allowed to exist was because there was no respect for the African American community.
Breonna Taylor was not a human being to Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove. She was an object so the police officers could pin their badges on with pride for their own elevation in taking down a PRETEND drug network. There was no evidence leading to the home of Breoanna Taylor. There was hearsay. That isn't evidence, but, when a black woman is the object of the hearsay it is as good as law.
The Grand Jury findings is highly questionable and the parents of Breonna and those that love her have the right to know. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHY AN INNOCENT BLACK WOMAN IS DEAD WHEN SHE WAS DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT!
