No charges for Breonna Taylor’s killer’s. Cops in Seattle are already blocking streets in preparation to commit more war crimes against any protests that arise. Fuck this country.
if you’re in Louisville seriously stay in groups and be careful, 3%’ers are out
hey, this is straight from a well-known activist in louisville, this is the bail fund he recommends donating to: https://bailproject.org/louisville/?form=donate
the louisville community bail fund is also reputable, but there are some issues with them getting the money from action network, so you might want to donate to bail project louisville instead
(bail project has a paypal option and requires less personal info to donate, too)
OP is mistaken, they did charge the officer who fired into the apartment and killed her.
Many sites are using headlines saying they were “not charged for killing her”, which is sorta half-true; he was charged with reckless endangerment for firing the shots which killed her, not murder.
From the NYT coverage:
“Grand jurors indicted Mr. Hankison, a detective at the time, on three counts of “wanton endangerment,” saying he had imperiled the lives of three of Ms. Taylor’s neighbors by firing bullets that reached their apartment.
Mr. Hankison fired through a door and window of Ms. Taylor’s apartment building that were covered with blinds, violating a department policy that requires officers to have a line of sight. At least some of his rounds reached the apartment directly behind Ms. Taylor’s, where a pregnant woman, her husband and their 5-year-old child were asleep. The rounds shattered the family’s glass door but did not harm anyone.
Mr. Hankison is the only one of the three officers who fired their weapons who was dismissed from the force, with a termination letter stating that he showed “an extreme indifference to the value of human life.””
This reads to me as though Hankison was, in fact, “not charged for killing her.” He was charged for endangering the lives of Taylor’s neighbors. I don’t want to underplay how awful it is that those neighbors were put at risk—it is unambiguously awful when cops threaten or harm anyone, no matter whom, the actual guilty included.
But the fact remains that a single cop is facing an endangerment charge over people who are still alive, and exactly zero of the three cops who killed Breonna Taylor are facing charges for her death.
^^^ there it is
