Four police officers from Louisville and Kentucky were charged Thursday by US prosecutors with killing Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician, in an unannounced raid in March 2020. The four officers from the Department of Louisville Metropolitan Police—Joshua Jaynes, Kyle Meany, Kelly Goodlett and Brett Hankison—were charged with violating people’s civil rights, unlawful conspiracies, using excessive force against them and obstructing law enforcement.
Taylor’s murder had only one officer involved in the raid, Brett Hankison, who is already facing charges. However, the two additional officers were not immediately charged. Four officers participated in the botched home invasion that killed Breonna Taylor, it has now been established.
In a “no knock” raid on March 13, 2020, Louisville police were investigating suspected narcotics trafficking when Breonna Taylor’s door was forced open. Kenneth Walker, her lover, used a legal weapon to shoot the police. Taylor was killed when officers returned fire, firing 22 bullets into the residence.
Prosecutors say Brett Hankison fired ten shots at Taylor’s residence through a curtained window and glass door. Meanwhile, the police officer told a Kentucky grand jury that he started shooting as soon as the shooting began.
According to Reuters, the prosecution also claimed that Jaynes and Goodlett later met in a garage to fabricate a story and hide the fictitious evidence they had used to justify the raid. In the United States of America, the #SayHerName social movement seeks to raise awareness of Black women’s experiences with police brutality and gender-specific police violence.
Activists, protesters, and the family of Breonna Taylor gathered in Louisville in June 2020 for a vigil to celebrate her birthday and demand that the killers be charged immediately. Taylor Palmer’s mother, Tamika Palmer, stated via the BBC at that same vigil:
She was initially alone, but it’s amazing to see how many people speak for her just by using her name. Kimberlé Crenshaw, a law professor, developed the #SayHerName movement. In December 2014, the Black American Policy Forum (AAPF) created the hashtag “SayHerName”.
The murder of Breonna Taylor, along with those of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery in 2020, had already sparked widespread protests. All social media users, including celebrities and fans, reported these murders.
Following the unprecedented decision to arrest four police officers from Louisville and Kentucky for the botched raid that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor, social media users took to Twitter to weigh in on the decision. Taylor’s family settled a $12 million (£9.4 million) lawsuit against the city of Kentucky related to her passing.
