Usa, agent who killed Breonna Taylor only due to negligence, riot breaks out: two policemen injured

NEW YORK – Only one agent charged in the death of Breonna Taylor, the African-American woman murdered in her home last March and who has become one of the faces of Black Lives Matter. An indictment for negligent and dangerous conduct, for which you risk being convicted of up to 15 years in prison, not for killing the 26-year-old. The other two police officers accompanying Brett Hankinson were not charged. The grand jury decision left a bad taste in the mouth after 100 days of street protests across the United States. And it unleashes anger in many: In Louisville, Kentucky, where Tayler was killed, protesters stormed the streets and clashed with police.

And on the Italian night the Kentucky city police reported that two officers were shot during the protests. His condition would not be critical, one was operated. Police said a suspect has already been arrested. In Louisville there was a curfew at 9 pm local time, decided in advance by the mayor to try to calm things down and avoid a night of violence. But there are many American cities where there have been protests demanding justice for Breonna Taylor. In Washington, protesters left the Justice Department and headed for the White House. In New York they met at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn and then headed to Manhattan, which was flown over by several helicopters in an attempt to secure peaceful protests.

It was March when the agents broke into the house of the girl, who was sleeping with her boyfriend in the middle of the night. Without understanding what was happening and without acknowledging that it was the police, Taylor’s partner, Kenneth Walker, shot and shot one of the officers in the leg. The three police officers responded by firing 32 shots, many of which hit and killed Taylor. For the grand jury, the officers’ reaction was justified because Walker fired first.

The grand jury’s decision is “offensive,” says Ben Crump, the Taylor family’s attorney. Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, admits that she has not had a chance to read the decision, but says: “There is no question that Breonna Taylor’s family deserved justice yesterday, deserves it today and will deserve it tomorrow,” she says . “Justice is not easy”: Kentucky attorney Daniel Cameron was good, a “star” with a “really brilliant” statement, Donald Trump said in response to a question about the grand jury decision on Breonna Taylor. Democratic candidate Joe Biden also spoke about the protests, urging protesters not to “tarnish” Breonna Taylor’s legacy with violent protests.

The attorneys for one of the three agents involved in the case are satisfied. “The death of Breonna Taylor is a tragedy. But the officers did not act unprofessional.

In announcing the grand jury decision, Kentucky attorney Daniel Cameron admitted that many people were not satisfied with the outcome. Cameron explained that Mattingly and Officer Myles Cosgrove, the one who fired the final shot that killed the girl, “were justified under Kentucky law to use force to protect themselves. This justification prevents us from prosecuting them for death.” by Taylor. ”Brett Hankison, on the other hand, was charged with negligence, that is, shooting in the direction of a nearby apartment, putting the lives of other people at risk.
