People Take To Streets After No Murder Charges For Cops Who Killed Breonna Taylor
Louisville residents cried out and began marching after only one of three officers involved in Taylor's death was charged — and only with “wanton endangerment.”

People in Louisville, Kentucky, cried out upon hearing there would be no murder charges for the police officers who shot and killed Breonna Taylor — and then they marched.

Early Wednesday afternoon, a Kentucky judge read out the charges in the Taylor case: Det. Brett Hankison, one of three officers involved, was charged with “wanton endangerment” — notably, for shots fired into neighbouring apartments, not Taylor’s. None of the three was charged with murder.

As people who were gathered in Louisville’s Jefferson Square Park heard the announcement, some cried out “what the hell” and one woman burst into tears, saying, “They murdered her.” Dozens began marching in the downtown streets, with the crowd soon growing to hundreds. Some chanted: “If we didn’t get it, burn it down.”

Within hours of demonstrations starting, videos showed police arresting protesters. Police also appeared to be firing munitions at protesters, which one reporter at the scene described as “pepper balls.”

In March, Louisville police executed a warrant at the apartment of 26-year-old Taylor, who was Black, where she and her boyfriend were asleep. The warrant was for a narcotics investigation not involving Taylor or her boyfriend. Three officers, who were white, fired more than 20 gunshots, several of which hit Taylor, killing her. Her boyfriend, who said he didn’t hear police announce their presence before breaking into the apartment, shot one of the officers once in the leg.

On Wednesday, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron spoke about the indictment, saying the other two officers, Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove, were “justified in their use of force.”

Taylor’s family attorney Ben Crump called the lack of charges “outrageous and offensive,” adding that Hankison’s charge “should have been ruled wanton murder.”

“It’s yet another example of no accountability for the genocide of persons of colour by white police officers,” he said in a statement.

Two of the officers, Mattingly and Cosgrove, were placed on paid administrative leave, and Hankison was fired more than three months after the killing, following widespread protests.

On Tuesday, Louisville’s mayor declared a state of emergency and blocked off part of downtown, and on Wednesday set a curfew and called in the National Guard, in anticipation of the announcement and the public unrest that was expected to follow.

After another Black person, George Floyd, was killed by police in Minneapolis in May, protests spread nationwide against racism and police violence. Many activists swiftly called for renewed attention on Taylor’s death, noting Black women often don’t get the same level of public outrage as men. People have been protesting in Louisville for months calling for justice for Taylor, including murder charges for the officers involved.

 

Police shoot boy with mental disability.... At the beginning of World War II, the first
individuals with mental or physical disabilities were targeted for murder in what the Nazis called the "T-4," or "euthanasia,"


Of course the kid was running away cause police were just the beginning.

Youth psychiatric facilities are complete hellholes.

Watch: BuzzFeed Video - They Were Kids. And Hospital Employees Beat Them

 

Post stupid link post ! Don't give me no % f watch bs !

Meanwhile the narrative is "more money for mental health"

Defund the police is great till you fund another abusive institution with a much worse history then police !!

 

I guess after the inevetible settlement for the shooting this kid will get actaul help.

Buzzfeed did a great job exposing UHS "hospitals" Universal Health Services

I would be willing to bet money this kid was one of their victims. He did not run from police to avoid a stay in a place that provided real care.

Kind of sucks the human rights in psychiatry movement fell of the map. The criminal justice system is bigger but psychiatry is way more evil.

 

It's sad to see a trivial incident like this eliciting an excessive reaction from police officers.

This left me wondering whether police officers of that region are lacking in professionalism and prone to violence due to lack of adequate training. This perhaps may be exacerbating the situation as well in other issues.

Perhaps better holistic training (focusing on psychological self-regulation) for policemen can result in a win-win situation for both the police and the civilians at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Yoga, meditation, mindfulness training are inexpensive training resources to draw from in this regard to create calm, collected and self-regulated policemen who will not shoot at the slightest provocation.

I have come across training articles in this regard in the past...
