New York Protesters Demand Justice for Breonna Taylor

Demonstrators calling for prosecution of police officers in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor resumed their protest Wednesday after prosecutors announced a single officer had been indicted but not on charges involving the Black woman's death.

Some protesters in New York gathered in downtown Manhattan after officials announced a grand jury's decision not to indict police officers on criminal charges directly related to Taylor's death.

The protests that rekindled as soon as the news of the grand jury's decision broke Wednesday afternoon appeared to be largely peaceful.

A grand jury brought no charges for the killing of Taylor, who was shot multiple times by police who burst into her home March 13 during a drug raid gone wrong.

State Attorney General Daniel Cameron said the officers' shots that killed Taylor were fired in self-defense.

The FBI is still investigating potential violations of federal law in the case.

True justice comes from a higher power and you will be on the receiving end. So are you sure you want justice? Just say the word the universe is listening.

Want to continue living? *Don't shoot at cops*

[katden]

I thought her boyfriend shot at the cops first. Were they supposed to stand there and let the boyfriend shoot them?

[atheist]

I keep hearing that every black person gets "the talk" from their parents about police and what to do if they are stopped or confronted by cops. If that's true, then why are they omitting the most critical parts of "the talk"? I.e. don't run from police, don't fight with police, don't shoot at police. What is "the talk" if not that?!

[jakehall]

This is why I don’t live in the city 🌃

Her family is happy. They're saying her name 12 million times a day. They couldn't do that when she was alive, well legally anyway.

Tatumreprt.com. Breonna Taylor get the facts.

[sheilamacpherson]

Life long democrat. Ready to vote for Trump cuz co signing this bullshit is embarrassing.

[topherd]

There was justice. A black man investigated this matter and found no wrong doing in regards to Breonnas death.

Don’t hang out with known criminal felons who shoot at police and you won’t get shot. It’s pretty simple really.
