KY Fails To Bring Charges for Killing of Breonna Taylor

 There is no justice for Breonna Taylor.

Daniel Cameron, the Kentucky Attorney General who conducted the grand jury that failed to bring charges for the killing of Breonna Taylor, gave a shameless performance in an attempt to justify his lack of action.   Cameron is a black Republican who spoke at the Republican National Convention last month, saying that "Republicans will never turn a blind eye to unjust acts."  Yeah, right.

Cameron admittedly did not allow the grand jury to consider charges related to the issuance of the questionable search warrant that led to Breonna's death.  Cameron also failed to present the testimony of twelve witnesses who said that the officers Mattingly and Cosgrove did not announce themselves prior to breaking down the door.  Cameron relied only upon one witness-- and that witness initially claimed that no one identified themselves as police (the witness changed his story only after being interviewed twice by the police).  In addition, Officer Mattingly admitted in his initial report: "No-- the first banging on the door did not announce.  I think after that we did."  You THINK!  Did you or did you not?  Someone was killed here!

Morgan State University Journalism professor Dr. Jason Johnson (like many of us) completely lost it, telling MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace (on air), “I’m so disgusted by this. I’m so disgusted by Daniel Cameron’s performance. I am so sick and tired of Black people going on the air and performing for violence and white supremacy and state-sponsored violence against Black people and claiming their mamas and claiming because they’re a Black man, they care about it — This woman got shot in her house! When she was asleep!”

“I’m sitting right here in my house right now,” Johnson said. “If cops busted into my house right now and shot me on the air, what Daniel Cameron basically told America is that that would be legal!. If they thought that there was something wrong, I could be shot in broad daylight, on national television, in my house, because the cops can break in and shoot whoever they want! That is why people are upset.”
