Usa, agent who killed Breonna Taylor only negligently, the revolt breaks out: you shoot at a policeman

NEW YORK – Only one agent indicted for the death of Breonna Taylor, the African American who was killed in her home last March and has become one of the faces of Black Lives Matter. An indictment for negligent and dangerous conduct, for which he risks if sentenced up to 15 years in prison, not for killing the 26 year old girl. The other two cops who accompanied Brett Hankinson were not charged. The grand jury’s decision leaves a bad taste in the mouth after 100 days of street protests across America. And it unleashes anger in many: in Louisville, Kentucky where Tayler was killed, protesters invade the streets and clash with the police.

And in the Italian night the police of the city of Kentucky informed me that gunshots were fired against an agent during the protests. In the city there is a curfew at 21 local time: it was decided in advance by the mayor to try to temper the mood and avoid a night of violence. But there are many American cities where protests are underway to demand justice for Breonna Taylor.

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. Not understanding what was happening and failing to recognize that it was the police, Taylor’s partner – Kenneth Walker – shot and shot one of the officers in the leg. The three policemen responded by firing 32 shots, many of which reached and killed Taylor. For the grand jury, the agents’ 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 candidate for vice president, admits she has not had the opportunity to read the decision but says: “There is no doubt 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 said Donald Trump in response to a question about the grand jury decision on Breonna Taylor.

The lawyers of one of the three agents involved in the case are satisfied. “Breonna Taylor’s death is a tragedy. But the agents did not act unprofessionally. They did their job and did not break the law,” said Kent Wicker, lawyer for Jonathan Mattingly, one of the agents involved in the case.

In announcing the grand jury decision, Kentucky attorney Daniel Cameron admits that many people will not be satisfied with the outcome. Cameron explains that Mattingly and Officer Myles Cosgrove – the one who fired the definite shot that killed the girl – “were justified under Kentucky law to use force to protect themselves. This justification prevents us from prosecuting them for the death of. Taylor “. Brett Hankison, on the other hand, was indicted for negligence, or for having shot in the direction of a nearby apartment, putting the lives of other people at risk.
