Twitter Reacts To No Officers Being Charged With Breonna Taylor’s Murder

Breonna Taylor Protests Lead To Arrests, Tear Gas, Fires Nationwide

On Wednesday, the grand jury revealed their decision not to charge any of the officers involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor — directly with her murder.

Former officer Brett Hankison was indicted on three counts of wanton endangerment and two other officers who opened fire that night were not indicted.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said the three officers had fired 32 shots in the early hours of March 13 in response to a single round fired by Taylor’s boyfriend. Taylor’s boyfriend told the cops that he mistook police for intruders when they broke down the door while they were sleeping.

President Donald Trump called Cameron’s decision “really brilliant.”

“How ironic and typical that the only charges brought in Breonna Taylor’s case were for shots fired into the apartment of a white neighbor, while no charges were brought for the shots fired at Bre or into her Black neighbor’s apartment,” Benjamin Crump, the Taylor’s family attorney, tweeted.

Civilians headed to the streets of Lousiville in protest of the verdict.

I’ve been at a loss for the right words all day. I keep asking myself why WE have to comprehend how to uncover spirit in heartache and see grace amid despair and atrociousness? As angry and heartbroken as I am when I see her picture, we can’t let up. Breonna deserves better. 🤎 pic.twitter.com/jnLeoYMGKy

Breonna Taylor was asleep in her bed. The police came in and shot her in case of a mistaken identity. Yesterday the grand jury didn’t charge a single officer with her murder. #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/E139bfV1uo

Two other accounts where the “drug dealing boyfriend” script is being spread from are @ConservaMomUSA and @FancyBitch_Here; both accounts appear inauthentic and followed by a network of inauthentic right-wing accounts. #JusticeForBreonnaTaylor #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/KTrsK4QUEY
