Several Democratic leaders quickly express disappointment that only one of the officers was charged in Breonna Taylor case.

,"Black lives will not matter until we hold police accountable for Black deaths, invest more in our communities than in criminalization, and dismantle the structures of racial oppression in our country and ensure all people are truly equal in the eyes of the law."

Police murdered Breonna Taylor while she was asleep in her own home. Today, our justice system decided that these officers will not be held accountable. This is a grave and shameful injustice.Shortly after the indictment, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear called on Cameron to release all"information, evidence, and facts" without affecting the three felony counts."I believe that the public deserves this information," he said."I trust Kentuckians. They deserve to see the facts.

mynbc15 You can't coddle & pander to the BLMers and expect to save the democracy. The Dems have to get the BLMers to come up to a certain level. They shouldn't lower the standards. The Dems should do a townhall meeting and review the facts of the case.

Good job BLM and media, you just got cops shot in KY by spreading lies about this justified shooting! It was a knock and announce warrant, they entered, were shot at and fired back! Shot that killed Taylor was self defense! Hope you’re proud!

The hell with you
