A Louisville grand jury has indicted one of the three officers involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor on three counts of wanton endangerment for firing into a neighboring apartment. But the gran…

But the grand jury did not indict any of the officers for shooting Taylor, the 26-year-old who was killed during a raid on her home on March 13.

The Kentucky attorney general, Daniel Cameron, said that the investigation showed that Mattingly and Cosgrove were justified in returning fire. “This is outrageous and offensive!” Crump wrote on Twitter. “If Brett Hankison’s behavior was wanton endangerment to people in neighboring apartments, then it should have been wanton endangerment in Breonna Taylor’s apartment too. In fact, it should have been ruled wanton murder!”

She was not shot in her bed.

George Clooney leads celebrities clapping back at Kentucky AG's warning over Breonna Taylor verdict FoxNews

I'm glad that he complains she was shot by 3 'white' officers. Now we know if the officers had been 'black' it would have been ok for him! Maybe her boyfriend shouldn't have opened fire. Wounding a vop in the process

She wasn't in her bed - she was in the hallway and dressed - you people are idiots

George Clooney is a PUNK! Nobody gives a shiiit what the little soy boy has to say....

Walker on recording. Can’t you do your due deligence?

Read pp 5-6! Warrant. Her house, herself & car. Facts matter.

Or listen to this guys perspective of report on 3 YouTube videos.

BF admitted 2 shooting 1st and investigation started 2016 read TheOfficerTatum report

George Clooney is dumber than a box of rocks! He has zero credibility and even less now that he made this naive statement!

Charge the cops for what? doing their job? The drug dealer is the one that should be charge with Taylors death and with 3 counts of attempted murder

George Clooselss speaks😆 FactsMatter

oh george cLOONEY, you really should read the police report, she was caught in a cross fire after her boyfriend shot and police returned fire. stop telling lies, oh but if you do that then you won't be an actor anymore will you

Yet she wasn’t shot to death in her bed 🤔 can’t even get the facts right

George Clowny like other hypocrite celebs do not know the facts of this case. He should be ashamed, what a disgrace. Innocent people will be hurt due to people like Clowny. He like others don’t care who’s harmed for political purposes.

It was not their fault she to be with a criminal. They did what any cop would of done with a warrant and someone starts to shoot at the. You should be ashamed George knowing she choose to be with a criminal.

I’m ashamed American coward George Clooney ran like hell when migrant camp was near his mansion in Italy. Now he crawls out of his rock to start crap, & will run back to his gated mansion with security guards as poor people in Kentucky’s City burns that he doesn’t live in.

His whole statement is inaccurate and irresponsible.

Wasn’t shot in her bed, do some more research before you make anymore ignorant statements

He’s an idiot

He should read the facts first

And George Clooney lies. She wasn't in her bed and her boyfriend shot first. Case closed.

George clowny obviously never read the police report

Well George Clooney is still as stupid as ever. He obviously doesn't know the laws! It was a justified shooting and a grand jury of Louisville held a lengthy 'trial'. George doesn't want justice because he wants Trump to lose.

The BS narrative she was in bed is gone, as is the no knock. The boyfriend, who fired 1st shot, has confirmed the knocking, neighbors confirmed police identified themselves. This was an unfortunate tragedy, but that is it. Celebrities should stay in lane, make movies, sing songs.

Maybe George needs to read the transcript first before voicing his GD opinion. They all take a side before reading facts. Jussie Smollet for one.

WTH makes George Clowney an expert in legal matters. Did he have more evidence then was presented to the grand jury? Clowney is a moron.

Facts matter too... her drug dealer boyfriend shot at the officer .. and they knocked .. its tragic .. but not a racist situation ... not eveything is a racist situation ..

Tell George her forgot a point! The police were shot at! They announced themselves. Also nobody cares what you think. Sorry that young lady died but tell truth.

I’m over celebrities stirring the damn pot when they don’t even have the correct story!!!

No one cares what Clooney says. Maybe he should know the actual facts before he runs that mouth. She was not in bed and a grand jury actually heard the evidence. That is our way of justice. Don’t like it leave

GeorgeClooney needs to get his facts straight. He peddling lies that were made up by the media. She was not shot in her bed by 3 cops. THAT IS A LIE.

Who gives a rats ass what George Clooney thinks Isn’t he white privileged

George is NOT informed. If he would read the grand jury results he would know that. But he’s dumb so goes with emotion

Don't let the facts get in the way of your bullshit narrative, George.

Pandering overpaid actor pretending to know the law now. He is irrelevant in real life issues

That’s a lie! She was standing behind her boyfriend (not lying in bed) who shot at police first (who had knocked and identified themselves). Blame the boyfriend not the police! In fact blame her for living with a drug dealer!

GeorgeClooney - you should move back to Kentucky and become a police officer. Then all will be well. CelebritiesAreIdiots.

She wasn’t in bed....she was at the door! Her boyfriend shot at the cops!!!! GET THE STORY RIGHT!!! Sorry she died but they were CRIMINALS-drug trafficking!!! Shut the hell up Clooney-you are part of the problem-so MISINFORMED!! Typical Hollywood!

He doesn’t even know the facts and you sharing it also shows you don’t care about the facts. I guess that’s where we are. Truth doesn’t matter, facts do not matter. Let’s let mob rule be what decides our policies. Then where will we be?

This was a really funny Clooney- movie with the racists on full display:

Yup-I actually loved this Clooney movie:

She wasn't in bed she was stood in front of her boyfriend who fired the first shot shooting an Officer in the leg..

Whos cares wtf he thinks?

He doesn’t need to be “ashamed” he never made the decision.

They were estanding.. In front of the officer... IDIOT.... Read more Say... Less.GeorgeClooney

do your homework

George Clooney should stop drinkn that piss tequila he makes read the 80 page report of witnesses statements & the fact her scumbag boyfriend admitted he fired threw the door first. Unreal these woke celebrity's all kissing ass to stay on the presses good side & not get canceled!

She wasn't in her bed. So there's one false thing off the bat.

Hey, George - A grand jury - who are aware of the facts in the case - did not recommend indictments. Your position of privilege doesn't give you access to the facts NOR does it give you the right to decide cases. Sorry.

Who?

No she wasn't, that's a false narrative. She wasn't asleep, she was standing next to her bf who shot at the cops first.

Well, that’s because Georg clowney doesn’t know the facts of the story. George just knows the fake news narrative. crackdontsmokeitself gofukurself

I'm ashamed for George Clooney for ignoring facts in order to drive the socialist narrative.

CELEBRITIES CEMENTING THE MYTH OF killed while sleeping...idiots. stirring the pot for no reason.

George Clooney should read report, when you shoot at police expect them to return fire

A grand jury- were given the information and it was their decision according to the laws. Ignorant people who know nothing about the law ,or this case need to be quite until they know all the info. Instead they incite violence

Chaos is amongst us....what else is left?

Twitter TwitterSupport jack where is the fact check here?

That’s ok Kentucky is ashamed of George Clooney.

Lie

The truth and the facts were given. Breonnas BF DID say he shot first, his bullet hit an officer!! What are the officers to do at that point? George Clooney shame on you, the facts are there. A JURY decided the outcome NOT the cops.

Go make another shitty heist movie, George

Good thing I couldn't possibly give a FUCK about George Clooney's thoughts on my city. :D

She was not in her bed! She was in the hallway. Quit spreading lies!

George Clooney? 😂😂😂😂 who cares

Reckless endangerment? How about murder? If you cannot check your information properly, if you cannot make sure you are protecting lives (other than only selfishly thinking only of one's own life), you are not ethcal police. Just because you are police does not make you ethical.

Read the entire facts before you believe this info. Variety and George need to be sued for mis-information along with CNN and MSNBC!

Oh thank heavens. Clooney has spoken. Now I can sleep.

We all are ffs!!!

real glad we got hear George Clooney weigh in on this, any word from Ted Dansen, Patrick Duffy, or some other white dude no one asked for or cared about the opinion of to 'report' on?

So Clooney has no clue of the facts , doesn't support our legal and justice system and should just sip his nesspresso in his tuscan villa with his model wife.

I am ashamed George Clooney, Obama, and Epstein have a relationship.

Hang those fvcking cops high ...

No she wasn't. Listen to KY Atty General.

Facts don’t matter and neither do celebrities.

Lol..... George Clooney moved out of this country......he didn't last long Came back to the country of Law and Order.....

Fuck George Clooney

This is a flat out lie

Ah yes a statement proving how uninformed of the situation he is. It falls on deaf ears.

Why isn’t this being censored by twitter for false Information. Variety is trash. We gonna fight back soon and it’s not going to be pretty for ya’ll.

This isn’t true. Look at the AGs statement. Why are you publishing this

Show cops aren’t allowed to shoot back when they’re being shot at CelebritiesSuck

If the police were being fired at what would you have liked them to do?

George Clooney should be the last one talking about morality...

You have a Broken system problem when a No-knock warrant gives you essentially the license to kill. All the cops ever have to do is report that they feel threatened (subjective) which justifies lethal force. Worse off, their report is always given the benefit of the doubt.

The choices people make in life have consequences. Some of them increase risk, while others reduce risk. Breonna made several bad choices which increased her risks. She didn’t need to die, but if you want to blame someone, it’s her boyfriend.

AkilahObviously Well you have to remember that her boyfriend shot through the door at the police first.

No she wasn’t in bed. They knocked. & had her LOSER boyfriend not shot at the cops—she would be ALIVE

She was not in her bed George, she was standing with her boyfreind. People please ! Read the reports ! Get the facts !

Only problem is she was NOT shot in her bed. After all this time GeorgeClooney still spreads lies. BreonnaTaylorWasMurdered NOT. Her BF is the reason she is dead. BlackLivesMatter is a joke.

No...it was her boyfriend fault. I want the money they have her family back. The boyfriend should be responsible.

What were the circumstances of this? Wasn't the boyfriend involved in drugs? It is sad that she died. It was an accident and the family got TWELVE MILLION from the city. So they have to do what they are told or the cities go up in flames tonight I guess. THIS IS BULLSHIT

George Clooney doesn't know sbit about how the justice system is . THEY WERE SHOT AT FIRST by SOMEONE inside what do you expect would happen.

Cop was charged you dummies

She and her drug dealer boyfriend for shot by cops when they knocked and he shot through the door at them. Any other characterization is a lie.

Of course you know more than the Grand Jury!! From your Villa in Italy, ya right!

I am tired of mob justice. It's just not real. Facts and evidence takes time and I thought the old days of people being strung up by a mob were over. It was for some time and it should stay that way. The mob is generally wrong and history proves that's true.

White police officers makes it worse no doubt

She should not have been distributing drugs. Karma.

Try getting your facts straight before making a statement

It’s a travesty!! The warrant was for her EX BOYFRIEND who wasn’t even there. How do you murder someone and all you have to say is “oops my bad” and everything goes back to normal!?

I love that Kentucky is red to piss off clooney

But is he ashamed he hooked up with trafficker GhislaineMaxwell that’s what I’m wondering

So asshole Clooney wants to fire cops for defending themselves? Maybe they should have let the boyfriend shooting at them just shoot them so they can’t go home to their families. Why are we not blaming the boyfriend here?

Thank God this noted Law Enforcement scholar spoke up. We all need to get more riled up based on these sort of incendiary, mostly fact-free statements.

Facts matter Mr. Clooney ! She wasn't shot in her bed, she was standing behind her bf as he was shooting at police first !!!! This isn't Hollywood, this is the real world & the truth matters.

Did you not watch the press conference today. She was standing in the hall with her drug dealer boyfriend who fired on police first. A tragedy that she died but when you fire on police they fire back.

The Breonna Taylor decision and she is not mentioned

Trump2020 MakeAmericaWhiteAgain

Someone in that apartment fired a shot first.

This is why people become violent in protests. Why they take justice in their own hands. 2 wrongs don't make a right. But this is why. BreonnaTaylor

seaned75 He's lucky she's not my daughter. I'd be charged with reckless manslaughter.

This is sad really

No justice for Brionna👎

The officers did everything they were told to do and sadly it had a tragic outcome.

This is unacceptable ina decent society

That is not justice. Accepting her death and walk away? Stay silent believing that never happened?

JoshMalina Stray Shots a charge of 5 yrs? Pussy Move. I want REAL JusticeForBreonnaTaylor not this weak move !!!!! kyoag

Thank you for the only accurate headline I’m seeing

I've never supported violence, but I wld say nothing if people started warewolfing over this. Its the reasonableness factor that always make these cases look so bad. If you are that fearful, please dont volunteer to join the police service.

fucking pathetic. Arrest those murderers!!!

JoshMalina Again this is unacceptable. Being a law enforcement officer should not shield a person from the laws.

JoshMalina how many lawyers are on it? 300?

JoshMalina thank you for getting your headline right

More white on black injustice system at work to keep on keeping people of colour down.

Terrible

She was a drug dealer, and her boyfriend fired at the police.

I mean we are mad but are we really shocked

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!

JoshMalina So the bullets that hit her weren’t stray shots too

what exactly does this have to do with show business

what exactly does this have to do with show business

Justice has been served. Drug dealers get no quarter.

the feds need to get these officers if Biden is elected
