Beyoncé asks for charges against cops who killed Breonna Taylor in letter to Kentucky AG
posted to her website and addressed to Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron on Sunday, Beyoncé asked that "swift and decisive action" be taken in charging the three Louisville officers involved in the killing — Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove — who were all placed on administrative reassignment but were not criminally charged.
"Three months have passed — and the LMPD’s investigations have created more questions than answers," Beyoncé wrote. "Their incident report states that Ms. Taylor suffered no injuries — yet we know she was shot at least eight times. The LMPD officers claim they announced themselves before forcing their way into Ms. Taylor’s apartment — but her boyfriend who was with her, as well as several neighbors, all say that this is untrue.
She finished the letter by urging Cameron not to "let this case fall into the pattern of no action after a terrible tragedy. With every death of a Black person at the hands of the police, there are two real tragedies: The death itself, and the inaction and delays that follow it. This is your chance to end that pattern. Take swift and decisive action in charging the officers. The next months cannot look like the last three.”at around 12:30 a.m.
Walker was arrested and charged with attempted murder of a police officer, but those charges were dropped on May 22, after the FBI opened an investigation into the case.
