A Life Long Republican…and A Trumper…
As the only Black female representative in the Kentucky Capitol, state Rep. Attica Scott (D) took action after the death of [B]Breonna Taylor[/B], who was fatally shot by police raiding her home in March. In August, Scott proposed Breonna’s Law, a bill that would end no-knock warrants statewide. And when a grand jury decided not to indict the officers in Taylor’s death, Scott joined hundreds of protesters in the streets of Louisville.

On Thursday night, Louisville police arrested Scott along with a handful of other protesters near First Unitarian Church and the Louisville Free Public Library, which had allegedly been set on fire, according to a police report reviewed by WAVE. The state representative received a felony charge of first-degree rioting and two misdemeanors for failure to disperse and unlawful assembly, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported. The paper reported Scott was released from jail Friday morning.
It was an all white jury. That tells you everything you need to know.
Also the Problem here is the laws . The laws give police power to conduct an entry. That warrant was amended to a “no knock”. Did the cops announce themselves? Because she ended up dead, only a trial could resolve that question.
The US cannot survive without its racial and class hierarchy blacks better get used to it
A court released more than 20 hours of recorded grand jury proceedings in the Breonna Taylor case Friday – an extraordinary action that comes after a juror disputed Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s explanation for why no one was directly charged in Taylor’s killing by Louisville police this spring.

Ahead of a noon deadline, Cameron’s office filed a redacted version of the recording with the court in which Social Security numbers and other personal information of people involved in the case were removed. Those edits removed three minutes and 50 seconds of material, according to a court filing.
The recording is now posted online in 14 different audio files.
The audio promises to give a rare level of public access to more than two days of grand jury proceedings in a case that has fueled widespread protests over racial injustice and police use of deadly force against Black people and other minorities. It also could answer lingering questions about how prosecutors have handled the case.
“I’m confident that once the public listens to the recordings, they will see that our team presented a thorough case to the Jefferson County Grand Jury,” Cameron said in a statement. “Our presentation followed the facts and the evidence, and the Grand Jury was given a complete picture of the events surrounding Ms. Taylor’s death on March 13.”
