Beyoncé has joined the call for charges against the officers involved in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor. ⁣ She says in a letter to Kentucky's attorney general that the three Louisville police officers “must be held accountable for their actions.”

A police incident report from the shooting of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky, indicated she had no injuries when she died, despite officers shooting her eight timesLOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Beyoncé has joined the call for charges against officers involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor, a black woman gunned down by officers who burst into her Kentucky home.

The superstar said in a letter Sunday to Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron that the three Louisville police officers “must be held accountable for their actions.” The officers, Jon Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove, have been placed on administrative reassignment while the shooting is investigated.

“Your office has both the power and the responsibility to bring justice to Breonna Taylor, and demonstrate the value of a Black woman's life," said the letter released on the singer's website. Taylor, 26, who was studying to become a nurse, was shot eight times by officers conducting a narcotics investigation on March 13. No drugs were found at her home. The city of Louisville last week banned the used of controversial “no-knock” warrants.Protests over several days in Louisville were fueled by Taylor’s shooting and the death of George Floyd, a black man in police custody in Minneapolis.

Beyoncé and Jay Z really! Who the hell cares? Are they helping the people who don’t have a store to shop at anymore? Are they helping the situation or inflaming it?

It’s a shame that Ms Taylor died but the facts are the police had a warrant, they entered, she fired her legally owned weapon and the police returned fire. Serious miscommunications here but not a criminal act.

Her sending a letter doesn’t do anything or mean anything.We fed up with these talking non do good doers

Why celebrities feel entitled to share their opinion and ANYONE gives a damn about it is beyond me. Nobody gives a damn what Beyoncé thinks.

ScrewBeyonce

He was released from jail for covid for BEATING HIS CHILDREN HE WAS DRUNK HE TOOK CONTROL OF AN OFFICER'S WEAPON FUCK THAT PUNK

Never happen, they were shot at. The circumstances surrounding it don't matter. Take it up with the judge who approved the no knock warrant.

I suppose it gives her something to do now that her career is on the wain.

Please Beyoncé don’t have police escorts for your concerts then!

Who cares just because she can sing and shake her ass doesn’t make her an attorney

If Beyonce can fix this, Beyonce for Vice President JoeBiden

How come Beyoncé doesn’t jump on these things when they happen? I’ve been talking to this issue early on. Vice squads are all corrupt: too much damn money floating around drug trade. Very cavalier & unthirough evidence handling & informant vetting. No accountability either.

I want a pony

And?

Police FBI databases have most major crime figures associations patterns financial details yet cat and mouse with organised and commercial crjme cost hundreds of billions. Not where city community policing should be

she has 20 + writers and producers on staff for her album recordings.. You think she wrote that..lmao Not!!!!

Thank you for speaking up and for putting your, considerable, resources behind these causes!

Who gives a rat’s A what Beyoncé wants.

За такие твитты я люблю твиттер

Breonna died in horror 😭

Let there be justice.

Like anyone really cares

She's famous and stupid.

Damn! Is that what Beyoncé looks like? That bitch is trying to look white.

Everyone's the DA now

Nobody likes celebrity puppets for their thoughts.

❤️

Beyoncé has snakes 🐍 killed for her own vanity projects

ballspause They’re mad celebs don’t use their platform to speak up on these issues... Then they’re mad when they do or it’s “not good enough” smh

Is she the president now ?

Who give a shit what Beyoncé wants.

cool🇹🇩🇹🇩🇹🇩

David Dorn. RIP

Fck it-Let’s just make the criminal justice system a reality show where people vote from home on guilt and verdicts.

They memorize lines and depend on auto tune for a living But they know best..... No.

Thank God.

✅🙏🏻🇺🇸✌🏻❤️ ME TOO

Celebrities know what’s best 🤡

FFS

Who cares what she thinks

When is the colored man going to take responsibility for their actions

Number ONE, I don't work for you JACK., This was all about trying to eliminate the safety net.. The World Health Organization offered, Period.. And there is committed to t he act of abuse of black violence

Since she is not a lawyer or a cop or a judge or a paralegal her opinion isn’t worth a pile of 💩

♡.

Geez ABC

*Legal scholar Beyonce

If it takes Beyonce to fix it, Beyonce for Vice President JoeBiden

Thanks Ms. Lady Beyonce

Again wat's goin on really ?

Breonna Taylor's bf shot first. Can't say I blame the guy. But you also can't arrest the cops for firing back. The 'no-knock' warrant was a shitty law, and I'm glad they banned it. But those cops shouldn't be in jail.

What’s the point of making a point that the whole country agrees with, regardless of left or right?

Hashtag Deflategate. Fake pregnancy.

Yeh okay bouncy

Oh thank you ABC. Now that Beyoncé says to do it. We better do it !

Beyoncé Writes Open Letter Calling for Criminal Charges Against Cops Who Killed Breonna TaylorThe police officers who shot and killed Breonna Taylor while she slept in her own bed have yet to be brought to justice. The officers involved in her killing have neither been arrested nor fired from the jobs, and the only piece of investigatory documentation released by the Louisville Metro Police Department has been a mostly blank incident report. Protestors, marchers, and other Black Lives Matter advocates are still demanding justice for Taylor, and on Sunday, Beyoncé (virtually) joined them, posting an open letter to the Kentucky Attorney General on her website.
