“Grand jury member certainly seems to be implying that Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron lied about the Grand Jury proceedings re: Breonna Taylor.”

This wasn’t the only dubious claim that Cameron expected the public to take at face value. He also said that the grand jury agreed that Taylor’s death was justified. “While there are six possible homicide charges under Kentucky law,” he explained, “these charges are not applicable to the facts before us because our investigation showed — and the grand jury agreed — that Mattingly and Cosgrove were justified in the return of deadly fire after having been fired upon.” But the grand jury may not have actually agreed.

On Monday, one of the jurors took the extraordinary step of filing a court motion to make transcripts of the grand jury deliberations public and allow its members to speak publicly about how they unfolded, according to the New York Times. Grand jury deliberations are subject to strict secrecy, and the evidence they consider usually only becomes public in court if there’s prosecution. The unnamed juror claimed that Cameron had misrepresented the jury’s case to the public, and that the jurors were never given the option to indict officers Mattingly and Cosgrove. If true, this would appear to undermine Cameron’s claim that the jury was unanimous that Taylor’s death was legally justified.

It also casts more doubt on his earlier accounts. Cameron’s claim that the officers clearly identified themselves — and therefore weren’t executing a no-knock warrant — is supported by the testimony of the officers themselves and one witness, a neighbor of Taylor’s. But roughly a dozen other neighbors claim not to have heard anything until the police battered in Taylor’s door. And investigative documents recently obtained by the Louisville Courier-Journal show that the AG’s lone nonpolice witness originally said they heard nothing, only changing their story months later when investigators circled back for another interview.

In addition to the police working with business to gentrify non-white neighborhoods, the police may also be using GPS trackers on cars belonging to activists:

If you’re more mad at me than the fact that we live in a country where it’s a debate whether a white woman is justified in killing a Black mother of 4 in front her son, after calling her kids racial slurs, then you need to reassess.

Four years ago today, Breonna Taylor was shot and killed inside her home during a botched police raid in Louisville, Kentucky.

No officer has ever been charged with her shooting. Her wrongful death sparked nationwide protests over questionable police practices and policies.

Breonna would’ve turned 30 this year. She should still be here.

⚖🎨#ArtIsAWeapon Today, March 13, 2023, marks 3 years since #BreonnaTaylor was killed by @lmpd.ky. • Today I'm thinking of her family, friends and community, thanking those who continue the fight seeking #JusticeForBreonna, and speaking her name. Breonna should still be alive 💔 and the officers who killed her should have been charged with shooting her. Meanwhile, on March 8, 2023, the @thejusticedept "Finds Civil Rights Violations by the Louisville Metro Police Department and Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government" (repost): "Following a comprehensive investigation, the Justice Department announced today that the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) and the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government (Louisville Metro) engage in a pattern or practice of conduct that violates the U.S. Constitution and federal law. The Department also announced that it has entered into an agreement in principle with Louisville Metro and LMPD, which have committed to resolving the department’s findings through a court-enforceable consent decree with an independent monitor, rather than contested litigation. Specifically, the Justice Department finds that LMPD: • Uses excessive force, including unjustified neck restraints and the unreasonable use of police dogs and tasers; • Conducts searches based on invalid warrants; • Unlawfully executes search warrants without knocking and announcing; • Unlawfully stops, searches, detains, and arrests people during street enforcement activities, including traffic and pedestrian stops; • Unlawfully discriminates against Black people in its enforcement activities; • Violates the rights of people engaged in protected free speech critical of policing; and • Along with Louisville Metro, discriminates against people with behavioral health disabilities when responding to them in crisis." Full report: www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-finds-civil-rights-violations-louisville-metro-police-department-and 🖼Portrait of Breonna Taylor, 2020 by artist #AmySherald @asherald, commissioned for @vanityfair, collection of the @nmaahc and @speedartmuseum. #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter (at Louisville, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvoTqvgLXP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
