Justified killing, no charges against anyone for Taylor's murder, plus, they will not release the

[Celerity]

racial and gender makeup of the grand jury, who apparently only took a few hours to reach their decisions. All the witnesses except one said no knock, no announce, but they went with the one who said they did, not the 15 or so who said they did not knock or announce.

Bad, bad, bad

1. It is disgusting, but did any of us really expect anything better?

As soon as they started to prep for this, I knew what it meant.

It is a statement by the State of Kentucky that Black lives do not matter and that cops can kill anyone they choose to without regard for any possible consequences.

So, this guy will be charged (or they will decide not to pursue charges), acquitted, and then he'll receive a huge settlement from the city or be quietly rehired.

2. That's what Kentucky's Trumper Attorney General counted on to stir up riots.

3. K&R

4. Grand juries have a tendency to rubber stamp the prosecutor

9. The prosecutor did not present possible charges to them. It's coming out now he just explained the..

what first degree, second degree and manslaughter are to the grand jury. What a slippery, sleazy piece of shit. He's one of the black speakers who appeared at the repug convention. The whole justice structure of Louisville apparently feels he can get away with not bringing charges because he himself is black. He's sold his soul.

Three cops shot into an apartment and killed someone but none are responsible.

Outrageous doesn't even come close in expressing my rage and frustration over the continued state sanctioned killing of innocent black Americans.

5. And I wonder how much they paid the person who said they heard a knock?

There is no justice for innocent black people murdered by police. They took 195 days to cook up this huge, stinking pile of crap finding.

6. I am in shock

Really. My chest feels like it’s squeezing my heart. My brain can’t process what I just saw in this news statement about Breonna Taylor’s killing.

And now I’m listening to Ari Melber talking about conflicting evidence. Of contradictions. Maybe my shock is not so out of place here.

They keep showing this one photograph of Breanna where she has the sweetest smile and she has flowers in her hair and she glows like she has her own light coming from inside. I’m sitting here crying.

It reminds me of the entire Trayvon Martin horrible miscarriage of justice. It’s heartbreaking.

7. I thought they indicted one of the officers?

[brush]

10. Not for her killing. For endangerment of neighbors. Such bullshit.

[GoCubsGo]

8. Just heard the Chief of Police tying himself in knots trying to justify the decision.

It was nauseating.

11. Very disappointing. n/t
