KNOW JUSTICE, KNOW PEACE, NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE
FINALLY Breonna Taylor's family might get justice for the police murder of Breonna almost six months after her death. Still pressure has to be maintained on the Kentucky criminal justice system to make sure they aggressively and effectively prosecute brett hankison, jonathan mattingly and myles cosgrove for the murder of Breonna Taylor. From UltraViolet.....
After six months, news outlets are reporting that Breonna Taylor's case could possibly go before a grand jury this week.1
Attorney General Daniel Cameron has made the Louisville community and the country wait half a year for any movement in Breonna's case. But in that time, her community has achieved several things.
Community members successfully exposed the County Attorney's Office for trying to pin a crime on Breonna months after police officers killed her.2 They exposed the Louisville Metro Police Department for trying to frame Breonna's partner, Kenneth Walker, for defending his and Breonna's home.3 They pressured officials so well that they banned "no-knock" warrants, fired the former LMPD chief, released the 911 call that proved Kenneth's innocence, and dropped the charges against him.4
None of these things could have happened without the movement behind Breonna and the movement for Black lives. We need to keep at it. Will you call the Attorney General's office to demand justice for Breonna Taylor?

Click here to tell us how it went.
I (Craig Schwanke) called, Had to leave a message demanding the arrest, charging, and prosecution of brett hankison, jonathan mattingly, and myles cosgrove. I said these people should be convicted of murder if AG Daniel Cameron does his job and they should be sentenced to life in prison without parole. I also stated it is disgusting this has gone on this long without any action by AG Cameron and that Breonna and her family deserve justice.
Make a call for Breonna Taylor now, then tell us how it went here.
Thanks for speaking out!
