LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Two police officers were shot Wednesday night as emotions ran high and protesters took to the streets following a day that brought fed up, disappointed, hurt & a tempered response to a prosecutor's decision to charge only one of the officers involved in the Breonna Taylor shooting.
Celebrities like Lebron James have spoken out about the bogus ruling as well and it's safe to say, we concur!
I’ve been lost for words today! I’m devastated, hurt, sad, mad! We want Justice for Breonna yet justice was met for her neighbors apartment walls and not her beautiful life. Was I surprised at the verdict. Absolutely not but damnit I was & still am hurt and heavy hearted!......
The protestors are tired, angry & quite frankly pissed off like the rest of us. The "charges" for the 3 officers who barged in on the Wrong apartment were as follows:
On Wednesday, a Kentucky grand jury indicted one of three police officers involved in the incident on charges of wanton endangerment for shooting a gun into a neighboring apartment. Former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison is facing three felony charges. Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove, two other officers involved, were not charged.
This can be summed up as "BREONNA TAYLOR'S neighbors Walls got justice before she did or will!! The $12 million settlement to her family was a slap in the face, especially after this ruling.
TheMelaninPride INC stands with those hurting, confused and disappointed in our "system". We send our thoughts, prayers and soul cries to the Taylor family that they first heal and second continue fighting towards justice by any means necessary.
