This was her FAVORITE time of year... She should be spending it with family... she should be be alive. I'm pissed she's not. I'm so so pissed. I'm hurt. on the verge of tears.
Please dont forget her face, her name, her smile, her caring soul.
She wanted to be a nurse. Wanted to help mothers and babies... And she never got to.
The world was a better place when she was in it...
Never change Sarah Janet, never change. But seriously, it takes Julie Plec levels of misogynoir to be as committed to disrespecting Black women in real life as you are to disrespecting them in fiction.
The Renaissance World Tour: Show 26 - L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium - Louisville, Kentucky (7/17/23).
I know Black Parade felt even more special that night, because Breonna Taylor’s (victim of police brutality) family was there. Beyoncé had her fist raised up in the air longer than usual. ✊🏽
A group of white women (of course it was white women) hosted a dinner at a Kentucky restaurant. And (without warning) shut out the lights and played body cam footage of Breonna Taylor's murder. And had a guest speaker, one of the officers that killed Breonna Taylor.

All I could think about was a modern day picnic. All the white women sat down, ate their meals, and watched video footage of a Black woman be murdered. (I can't even imagine how traumatized and Black patrons would have been, not expecting that.)
The event wasn't supposed to be at this restaurant originally. The previous venue that they had booked canceled on them when they found out about the guest speaker.

And to remind you she was a paramedic during the height of the pandemic, going to need school, and police came with a no knock warrant and fired 32 shots until her apartment and it was later found that the evidence that they used to receive the no knock warrant was fudged.
Tagging @yoursuziekins because they've been paying every day to get justice for Breonna Taylor
The Justice Department has had a pattern or practice investigation ongoing into the Louisville Police Department since April 2021.
The federal charges against officer Joshua Jaynes, former Louisville detective Kelly Goodlett and officer Kyle Meany allege that they violated Taylor's 4th Amendment rights when they sought a warrant to search Taylor's home while knowing they lacked probable cause, and that they knew their affidavit supporting the contained false and misleading information and omitted other material information, resulting in her death. Goodlett and Jaynes have been charged with conspiracy for allegedly falsifying the affidavit for a search warrant, according to the justice department.

Charges have also been filed against Brett Hankison a former Louisville Metro Police officer who was involved in the death of Breonna Taylor. Hankison has been charged in a two-count indictment for deprivation of rights under color of law, both of which are civil rights offenses.
"We share, but we cannot fully imagine, the grief felt by Breonna Taylor's loved ones and all of those affected by the events of March 13, 2020. Breonna Taylor should be alive today," Garland said during a press conference.
