Breonna Taylor Update: Louisville Limits Access To Downtown Ahead Of State Attorney General’s Decision To Charge Officers In Fatal Shooting
The Louisville police department is limiting access to downtown ahead of the State Attorney General’s decision on whether to charge the police officers who took the life of 26-year-old EMT Breonna Taylor. More inside…
The city of Louisville, KY is under a "state of emergency" of sorts as police officers shut down streets in the downtown area with barricades ahead of a decision in the Breonna Taylor case.
Louisville Metro Police Department interim Chief Robert Schroeder spoke to citizens this morning, apologizing for the inconvenience, but he defended the move as necessary as we all await an announcement from Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R) - the first Black person to nab the title - on whether he will charge the officers who murdered Breonna Taylor during a “botched raid” back in March.
"This is not intended to be a lockdown," Interim Chief Rob Schroeder said.
Federal buildings have been closed and it’s reported officers will be expected to work 12-hour shifts. All off-days and vacation will be cancelled for officers…for now.
Check it:

Louisville officials claim they don’t know when Cameron’s decision will be announced, but the city is restricting downtown access in anticipation of protests following the decision. Sources claim a decision will be made sometime this week.

The restrictions include vehicle barricades around Jefferson Square Park, where daily protests have organized previously. Officials claim the barricades won't block people from protesting, but rather will ensure their safety. Hmph. There will be limited access to parking garages in the downtown area and limited parking on the streets as well.

Previously, Cameron - was made special prosecutor in the case earlier this year - declined to give a timeline on the investigation.
"My office is continually asked about a timeline regarding the investigation into the death of Ms. Breonna Taylor. An investigation, if done properly, cannot follow a specific timeline," he said earlier this month.
Folks have been waiting to see if his office will bring up charges against the officers who were involved in the Breonna shooting, including Jon Mattingly, Myles Cosgrove, and detective Brett Hankison, who has been fired.
Apparently, Jon Mattingly (who was placed on administrative reassignment) recently sent an email to his LMPD colleagues, calling protesters "thugs":
The section about the enforcement of civil rights violations is particularly jarring. "..the department and FBI (who aren't cops and would piss their pants if they had to hold the line) go after you for civil rights violations." pic.twitter.com/CExRQCklO0

This is all from one of the LMPD officers who not only were involved in the raid that led to Breonna Taylor's death, but one of the three who LMPD says fired their gun. Sgt. Mattingly, who was shot in the leg that night, has been on administrative reassignment since the incident

Louisville’s mayor, Greg Fischer, posted a tweet about the “shut down”:
“We do not know when the attorney general will make an announcement, or what it will be. Our goal with these steps is ensuring space and opportunity for potential protesters to gather and express their first amendment rights, and to prepare for any eventuality to keep everyone safe.”

The decision on whether to charge the police officers comes days after it was reported the city of Louisville settled with Breonna’s family for $12 million (of taxpayers’ money).
Earlier this month, Breonna’s boyfriend – Kenneth Walker – announced he was suing the Louisville Metro Police Department. The 28-year-old is seeking unspecified monetary damages from the city and the police department for assault, battery, false arrest and imprisonment, malicious prosecution, abuse of process and negligence stemming from the night Breonna was killed.
The fact they are shutting down the city makes you wonder if they already know what the outcome will be...
Protesters aren't backing down though. Sadiqa Reynolds - President and CEO of Louisville Urban League - shared an update from the grounds and what's next:
I went out to the Square tonight to do two things. First to be sure the protestors understand that we should be far...

Prayers up that everyone remains safe!

#BreonnaTaylor #JusticeForBre #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter #BlackWomenMatter #Repost @djalibc with @get_repost ・・・ Happy Sunday! A reminder that #BreonnaTaylor was murdered, and the cops who took her life are still free. Let’s not get lazy. Go harder for Breonna. What Happened to Breonna Taylor? 🔺 Breonna Taylor was an award-winning EMT and first responder in Louisville, KY, who loved helping her patients and her community. "She was an essential worker. She had to go to work," her mother, Tamika Palmer said of her dedication to standing on the frontlines of this pandemic. 🔺 On the night of March 13th, the Louisville Metro Police executed a warrant, looking for drugs they never found, reportedly trafficked by a person who did not live with Breonna or in her complex-and whom they already had in custody. 🔺 They sprayed her home with 20 rounds, shooting Breonna 8 times, killing her in her bed. Neither the Louisville Metro Police nor Mayor Greg Fischer have given her mother any answers. "Not one person has talked to me. Not one person has explained anything to me," Tamika Palmer, Taylor’s mother, said in an interview. "I want justice for her. I want them to say her name. There’s no reason Breonna should be dead at all.” Ways to help Breonna Taylor get justice: 🔸 SHARE this post: although social media does but so much, let’s keep her story alive. 🔸 POST about Breonna, using the hashtags #BreonnaTaylor and #JusticeForBre.
