The settlement includes a host of reforms to be adopted by the Metro Police. Those include establishing a housing and voucher program to encourage officers to live in lower-income city neighborhoods, and creating a clearer command structure when executing warrants at multiple locations, as was the case the night of Taylor's death.

"Her beautiful spirit and personality is working through all of us on the ground, so please continue to say her name," she said, then did so herself:"Breonna Taylor."
This headline is misleading! The charge has nothing to do with BreonnaTaylor murder! It’s shooting into neighbors house! This is worth more than her life?!!
If you shoot at police detectives, they’re gonna shoot back every time.

wnpr It took 194days for this decision. Lots of questions Unanswered
In other words they all walk.
Get it right.
Not good enough.
Correct your statement
Not good enough😤
You are wrong and correct this statement
fix your story. WFPLNews has it right.
Is anyone surprised?
This headline is wildly misleading. The only charge is unrelated to the murder of Breonna Taylor, and the phrasing of this headlines implies otherwise.
By definition wanton endangerment is to cause engage in conduct that COULD kille someone, BREAONA TAYLOR IS DEAD THIS WAS MURDER
Crystal Mason jailed for five years for voting while under probation, slap on wrist for officer who murdered.
So apparently in KY cops are allowed to shoot to kill but not shoot randomly....sigh!! NoJusticeForBreonna
After listening to the KY AG press conf I have questions on how the evidence was presented to the grand jury. Popehat am I wrong or just to cynical?
npr Please pull story ... it’s flat out incorrect.
npr Your story is incorrect. Get the facts straight.
rachel_treisman NPR you need to change your headline. It implies the officer was charged for directly causing Breonna's death. This is not the case. They were charged for shooting into neighboring apartments.
you should RT the story from WFPLNews that provides more accurate info.
please correct: Per AG's investigation, 'none of the bullets shot by the officer indicted, Brett Hankison, hit Taylor'.
But he was not charged in her killing, but for endangering her neighbors, right? Misleading message.
Hankison was indicted for MISSING BreonnaTaylor with his bullets. Get it right.
Tear it all down.
Good.
Walls are more important than human life.
Pathetic. Corrupt. And thoroughly fucking evil.
so no one is held accountable for the murder of an innocent, unarmed, blackwoman again and again and again and again and............
Good kinda, but a slap on the wrist. I dont trust the system. You cant have judge prosecutor providing oversight on cops . they are all gov workers its the same boss and paycheck
Love how you bury the fact that the officers were fire upon by Kenneth Walker first. Kind of an important fact.
nprmusic Shame
nprmusic none of which are for actually, you know, MURDERING HER.
All part of today's police culture. Remeber this one? Officer Mader was fired for NOT shooting a suicidal black man with a gun. The other officers who arrived on the scene an sprayed gunfire everywhere seconds later, killing the man.
That's it? WTH? Breannataylor JusticeForBreonnaTaylor
It was fucking MURDER. WantonEndangerment Murder
He murdered the woman and they are charging with 3 counts of 'wanton endangerment'? What the heck does that even mean?
*MURDERED
So in Louisville a police officer can enter your home at any time in the dark of night and murder you...great
VOTE this KY Attorney General DanielCameronAG kyoag out of office. He’s senatemajldr little lapdog puppet. He was too busy at the RNC instead of doing his JOB and bring ESSENTIAL charges against these MURDERERS Karma
Fix your headline. Seriously, do better, NPR. It's misleading as hell.
Declare martial law in Louisville, Seattle, Portland! Arrest mayors & councils + rioter, arsonist & charge all with sedition/ treason (penalty will eliminate the lot)!
Kentucky seems like a really shitty place.
At this point, it’s as if they want rioting to occur. Indictment was done to just incite more anger and frustration. Done purposely to stoke the fires.
Nice way to try to confuse people with all those unnecessary words
The murder of Breonna Taylor was a homicide, plain & simple! It shows how justice goes in Bitch McConjob's home state; cops are given a license to kill! There was no video or body camera footage of the incident? How convenient! When will justice be served?
Literally wtf
Wanton Endangerment is roughly what it is called when I scrape mold off of cheese and feed it to my family anyway cuz I’m not wanting to hit the store. . . Crap charge. JusticeForBreonna
This is not correct. The state of Kentucky has erased Breonna Taylor from the record. Wanton endangerment is 'extreme indifference to human life' and this indictment applies to those who could have been shot accidentally, such as the neighbors. NO CHARGES BASED ON THE VICTIM.
Whew! We dodged a bullet on this once. At least there won't be more deadly riots from BLM people.
How much did George Soros pay for this indictment? The officer acted according to departmental policy in the execution of a warrant on the residence of a known criminal. Were the police supposed to make an appointment with this drug dealer and his girlfriend?
That very familiar feeling of being so sad and disappointed... and not at all surprised. DefundThePolice BlackLivesMatter BreonnaTaylor
This is ridiculous. Charge these murders
Cue the riots, looting and arson.
They knew this when they prepared for unrest. SMH.
The Officer was charged for the bullets that hit the neighbors NOT Breonna! This is an absurd miscarriage of justice!! HoldPoliceAccountable
“Justice” has been served...
Drug Dealers usually end up dead or in prison
She was murdered while she lay sleeping in her bed!
Is that all he's charged with? My God! The man at the very least should be charged with manslaughter!
I AM A 76 YO WHITE MAN, INDEPENDENT VOTER, SERVED IN BOTH US MILITARY & U.S.PEACE CORPS, I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SEE THE DAY WHEN MY NON-WHITE WIFE WOULD FEAR TO TRAVEL IN THE U.S. BUT SHE DOES❗THE CAUSE IS TRUMP'S RACIST, GARBAGE, BIGOT MOUTH❗
Please tell your followers that the endangerment charge was not for Breonna Taylor but for firing into those other apartments.
Trolls are out pushing lies and trying to piss people off. Block them and don’t take their bait.
Facts need to come out then America 🇺🇸 will understand the real story.The saddest part about Criminals is that there needs to be LAW & ORDER. Families need to teach each child to understand goodness in people.Americans need to believe in GOD in our Country,respect all human kind.
Wanton | adjective | (of a cruel or violent action) deliberate and unprovoked. So a police officer who is serving a warrant gets shot at and returns fire in self-defense is unprovoked?
All three officers shot their weapon recklessly. All three deserve to be indicted!!!
Policemen have a very hard job. They are forced to enact and enforce the law in a nation where the law has become meaningless. This is not a victory for anyone. Breonna Taylor lost her life. An officer of the law is now subject to the law he swore to uphold.
I fear there may be some 'unrest' in Louisville soon.
I understand Kentucky to be retarded in terms of social progress. That's an observation. This indictment is not favorable to any kind of social justice … we're learning that cops claim the privilege of having the judiciary in it's pocket.
JasonLemon NPR is pathetic
He’s a murderer and he got away with a state sanctioned killing the police or menace to society in Amerikkka 💁🏾♀️💯. I hope he fears for his life every time he steps outside. He’s a killer 🤬
when drug dealer Thugs open fire on police, they can’t shoot back. Sounds like the Obama rules of engagement in Iraq where our guys came home dead or in pieces. This is absolute insanity. Stop don’t shoot is now, thugs can shoot &police can’t shoot back. Get a carry-conceal now!
BREAKING: Louisville police officers get away with murder.
altjuzo2 JayVXY should be all 3 smh
It was more than endangerment.
Hell yea baby!! Thank you guys so much for not bowing to the mob
Wonton is a soup. GTFOH They're all a bunch of MURDERERS! I am LIVID. 😡
Was murder not on the table? Wtf is this shit?
Killing someone is wanton endangerment I have to believe it is a lot more than that!!!
Huh Conduct which creates a substantial danger of death? Uhhhhhh murder ......
Ok go steal some shoes
Unacceptable.
This news just saddens me. How does anyone in leadership think this is justice? If you make judgments like this expect the wrath of the people.
Kelly Bs. I hope they enjoy the bbq.
Burn it all down
Horrible headline. The indictment has nothing to do with the murder that took place!
Ah, so essentially no accountability. Again. Keep wondering why people are protesting and rioting.
I don't have enough tears... unbelievable...
He won’t be convicted of this crime with either, watch and see!!
YOUR “BREAKING” HEADLINE IS MISSING THE SIMPLE AND OBVIOUS FACT THAT HE’S NOT BEING CHARGED WITH MURDER
BREAKING: People with no knowledge of what words mean in the legal system are highly opinionated.
Wanton endangerment Why not 2nd Degree Murder
I am no lawyer, but Breonna Taylor is dead, isn't that murder?
I hope the angry people of Louisville know many of us are with them in spirit. I hope they stay safe as they protest. Her poor family. This isn’t justice.
And shit hits the fan in...3....2...
For clarity as someone who lives here: The Wanton Endangerment charge is for firing into OTHER apartments and not BT. BT was not mentioned in indictment.
She's not named as the victim of his charges. Charges are for THE NEIGHBORS.
Good. Everyone can go home now.
Let's burn the city! Yay!
