The news that the murderers that killed Kentucky EMT Breonna Taylor wouldn’t be charged with any kind of murder broke earlier today and it angered a lot of people.
The one cop that was charged, Brett Hankison, was only charged with 3 counts of wanton endangerment which was only because of the the bullets he fired went into someone else’s apartment. That means the AG of Kentucky deemed that those walls meant more than the life of Breonna Taylor. In fact, in the indictment, her name nor initials were mentioned. It was only the initials of the people in the neighboring home.
If convicted, Hankison will face up to 5 years in prison while the rest get to walk around free.
This shows just how invaluable Black lives are to society. Because of that, athletes from many sports shared their frustrations. From WNBA players saying their dedicating the season to Breonna Taylor to NBA and NFL players.
At some point, enough will have to be enough.
