Breonna Taylor grand jury charges explained: One of three charged

Brett Hankison, the former Louisville police officer who fatally shot Breonna Taylor, has been indicted by a grand jury on three counts of wanton endangerment in the first degree.
Two other officers involved in the March shooting — Sgt. John Mattingly and Det. Myles Cosgrove — were not charged following months of demonstrations calling for the arrests of all the officers.
Live updates on the announcement
The long-awaited findings of a grand jury probe into the fatal police shooting were to be announced by Kentucky's Attorney General Daniel Cameron Wednesday afternoon.
Demonstrators at makeshift memorial to Taylor in downtown Louisville called for Cameron to step down after the charges were announced in court and the former's detective's bond was set at $15,000.
The announcement comes more than six months after Taylor, a 26-year-old Black EMT and aspiring nurse, was shot to death by Louisville police officers in her home. The officers broke down the door to her apartment while executing a late-night, "no-knock" warrant in a narcotics investigation on March 13.

    1. She lost her job as an EMT for driving around in a rental car with a dead body inside it. Any comment on this fact ?

  1. Wait till the george floyd verdicts or non-indictments come to light. All hell will break loose when Chauvin & gang are freed.

    1. People should watch the body cam footage from the two officers before they pass life sentences on the officers involved.

      It’s not that black and white.
      Chauvin will have to face his charges for keeping his knee on the neck for so long after GF seemingly passed out. But the others were just doing their job.

  2. Did anybody really think they were ever going to charge these cops. They figured they gave her family 12 million dollars so that should be the end of it right

    1. @Antonio Partee you know trump has done alot for the black community right? More funding for black schools, police reform. Also in his presidency he has held lowest black unemployment rates and highest black home ownership

    2. @D. B. did you forget that the person they were looking for was already in custody?
      Did you know the cops were not wearing body cameras even though mandated.
      But you do know that one cop charged will walk..brennan was just another “nizzger” so what.

    3. Plane the white media love to criminalize black people, they would’ve definitely reported that information you just gave if it were true

    1. @MrBlazinman Wrong house ? Seems the right house to me. drug dealer and spraying bullets like its water-gun, if he didn’t have gun, everything would be fine.

    2. @George Findlay Not listening to an office who more than likely belongs to the same department if not county. Including yourself I have gotten more than 10 people telling me “you’re wrong” in various ways. All of you made it evident where you stand on America and its state at this time very much, and in doing so helped me to swiftly ignore any “info” you try to give me. I did not get my information from the media like y’all are claiming which shows your true colors and where you’re coming from. There was a singular person who claimed to have heard the officers announce themselves, not only that but the boyfriend called for police assistance when he heard someone (the officers he didn’t know of) at his door trying to get in. No this isn’t me running away, its me being smart and saving myself from aneurisms at the expense of being falsely lectured. Enjoy your night all 11 of you.

    1. @john sweeney but why do i have to listen to your one video in order to come to a conclusion? Why is everything I have looked at and researched invalid? Because ut disagrees with your one source? I can’t watch that source and still disagree. Thats just the nature of the world.

    2. @J B They did, repeatedly. Three residents of the complex testified to the fact. They knocked with a no knock warrant.

    1. MOST OF OUR PEOPLE SOLD OUT AND WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH US OR GOD. BUT there is a bloodline like myself out here that demons won’t touch, cops do not come my way because of the power of GOD HIMSELF THAT IS IN ME. REPENT MY PEOPLE AND COME BACK TO YOUR GOD, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB. HE IS CALLING YOU TO REPENT AND GO TO HIS SON!! DO IT!

    1. Craig Maness Amen brother. And you could add this in too:
      NEWS FLASH: In light of his recent exclusive interview with Cardi B, Joe Biden has officially announced that the theme song for his 2020 presidential race will be “WAP” ……
      (He thinks it stands for White And Proud ). And, to make sure the Dems are not outdone by the anthem worthy, “Proud To Be An American” by Lee Greenwood, Biden also announced that any time the Star-Spangled Banner gets played during one of his infrequent rallies, Cardi B will be on hand to twerk to it. Dang !!!! God bless you democratic patriots, which is actually an oxymoron. You don’t stand a chance on November 3 …….not with depraved constituents like Cardi B. Will see you again in 2024 if your party still exists. However, keep in mind, if Ross Perot runs, you’re doomed

    2. @Phinneas Bluster True Americans stand up for our rights! We don’t boot lick for anyone, not even the pigs. As far as the cops are concerned, They can’t seem to learn that it’s illegal to blatantly disregard our freedom!

    3. Any surprise here? In May, just when the pandemic was getting under control and the economy started to reopen, the DNC incited the violence across the country. Now after seeing even reopening the schools did not lead to a surge, DNC called for massive protesting and violence again.

  3. The charges weren’t related to Breonna Taylor. It was the neighbors. The incident in her apartment was deemed justified.

    1. @Cool Beans Trials and tribulations come with both a purpose and a reward. AND SOON YOU GUYS WILL HAVE YOUR MOMENT

    2. @LIONS FOR WAR Right, but that does not hold true for colored people. There is no purpose and absolutely no rewards.

    1. Blackscarf Saber I think you believe a little way too much of what you hear 👂🏼 and read smh it’s a sad shame

  4. The fella isn’t indicted for her murder, his indictment is because his bullets went into an adjoining apartment of a man, woman, and child.

    1. @Nicholas u forgot the part where the police were breaking into a home unannounced hunting for a person already in custody.

    2. Vali Nashat she got what she deserved, don’t hang around criminals shooting at the cops and you won’t be shot. You people need to hold yourself and criminals accountable and this will end. Cops Lives Matter more than criminals. She shouldn’t have been selling drugs out of her house and they wouldn’t have been there, period, end of story. She got justice, the hard way.

    3. Vali Nashat try again, dummy. The police knocked and announced they had a warrant. You’re a special kind of stupid.

  5. Tonight at 11: Are police officers firing into the homes of innocent people indiscriminately and getting away with it? The answer WON’T surprise you.

    1. @Montinez Rowe AND she was also dating a drug dealer and helping with the finances of the operation. Sorry you cant see both sides

    2. @Willie Chain Look at the facts. The ex kept visitng their home and picking up suspicious packages that he took to a known drug house. So there was absolutely reasonable suspicion to search the home

    3. @SUGAR DOLLAR DADDY BBC even Kenny, the guy using Breonna as a human shield, said they pounded on the door….. right before he started shooting & ducking behind his girlfriend. I question why he walked out without a bullet wound.

    4. I mean how would he have even known she was black, having shot through a curtain without seeing her? So fucking tragic and irresponsible, but questionable that it was about race

  6. If the police bullets would have killed someone in another apartment they would have charged Breonna Taylor & her boyfriend for the murder.

    1. It’s probably Šimon … it’s spelled like that so that English speaking people can understand. But I could be wrong

  7. This verdict shows how corrupt our country is. Name and Charge the Cops that were present at the seen. Charge the Judge who signed off on the Raid.

    1. Do you understand how a Grand Jury works? Do you realize that the jurors are people just like you and me? They heard the evidence and they made the decision. You didn’t. I didn’t. But how can you whine about “corruption” when CITIZENS who were presented with the facts made their voices heard?

    2. @Ron Smith First, No-knock on a warrant that does not require it. Second, shooting at a threat without identifying yourself and expecting submissive lamb. Just for starters.

    3. @Donovan Davis No one wants a race war. No me or anyone I know. It is about systemic degradation of the policing and weaponization of policies in political arena to distract the sheeps from realizing that core American values are and have been eroding for ages while the classless society reign supreme.

    1. Breanna was held accountable for her drug dealing and thuggery. How did one of Breanna Taylor’s rival dealer wind up shot to death in a car she rented?

    2. Kief Demon, even Kenny, the guy using Breonna as a human shield, said they pounded on the door….. right before he started shooting & ducking behind his girlfriend. I have yet to see anyone question why he walked out without a bullet wound.

  8. Zechariah 11:5
    [5]Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
