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.

They charged one cop for firing bullets that went into the next apartment. N O T H I N G For serving a warrant at the WRONG ADDRESS. N O T H I N G For murdering an innocent woman. N O T H I N G For leaving her to bleed out on her couch and failing to call an ambulance.

For me I’d like the leaders and trainers to face the same fate.

Whether to? Breonna was asleep in her home and wasn’t even a suspect; even if it wasn’t murder it was beyond gross incompetence. So sick of this might-makes-right shit right now.

If the Grand Jury declines to indict, the answer is likely here. A surprisingly concise analysis on the law.

It is going to be no charges. I would put money on it, why else would they take all these precautions. No matter how you feel about it, I am betting I'd your houses was raised at night with no knock, you would take steps to protect your house too No knock warrants are a crime

Since a curfew has already been announced, I’m not to sure it’s going to go over well. I’ve been saying we live in a police state for years. No one listened.

Dollars to donuts that the findings won’t change what’s going to happen in Louisville. I hope I’m wrong.

I got my popcorn ready for yet another chimpout!

They won’t be charged. They acted under the parameters of the law. It stinks. But you can’t charge them w a crime when what they did technically wasn’t a crime. THIS is the perfect example of systemic racism. THIS is why it’s so important to VOTE especially in local elections

They won't be b/c no one will admit they were wrong; that they made a mistake. But settling with the family speaks volumes of their guilt.

The facts state it was justified. Life pro tip: don't fuck coke dealing gang members that use your mailbox to rcv drugs, have you collect $ from drug houses to bail out him & others or loan your car to him so he can murder a cohort. Her dad should've told her this.

They won't be charged cause the reason was HER BOYFRIEND SHOT FIRST. sad tragedy though

Why does NPR refuse to report the cops were being shot at by Taylor's boy friend when they fired on her. It is very relevant information.

Same people fighting for justice today were the ones cheering for injustice then.

pretty obvious what that announcement will be

Praying for justice... but I'm not holding my breathe

There will be

FINALLY! The day has come!

Brett hankison fired blind rounds into that house. He should have been charged long ago.

Spoiler - they’re gonna let them walk (I’m hopeful I’m wrong but based on actions like declaring a state of emergency)

pray for peace. pray for justice. Vote BidenHarris2020

The hell that will reign down worries me. This is a Rodney king moment all over again. The people demand change.

NPR is getting more liberal. They are not as bad as CNN but they don't try to give the conservative side of anything. For that reason I would never support them. They are always asking for money but conservatives should stay away. They should be supported by liberals only.

Louisville metro police departments removed all time-off requests for officers, put a curfew in place, and declared a state of emergency. What do you think is going to happen? 🤡

If the grand jury wants to avoid potential protests/riots, they’ll choose to charge them for the officers’ ineptitude as well as the police station that sent them to the wrong address.

It’s not even questionable. They didn’t find any drugs. Her boyfriend defended himself. Charge the officers. Stop this shit.

Based on the city's putting up of barriers, etc I'm guessing this won't be good...

brace yourselves Louisville.

They better punish the cops or else there will be hell to pay. Blocking off the capital won’t help. BLM

NoJusticeNoPeace DecideYourFate

Social cohesion demands charges.

Who?

Of course they aren't. That's why they have already announced a curfew for tonight. Murder only counts when anyone other than police do it.

They better be.
