Joe Biden said Wednesday evening that he had not yet been briefed on the indictment of one of three police officers involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was killed in her own home in Louisville, Ky.
“Do not sully her memory or her mother’s by engaging in any violence,” he said. It’s totally inappropriate for that to happen. She wouldn’t want it nor would her motherm so I hope they do that.” Taylor was killed after officers attempted to enter her apartment on March 13. According to Louisville officials, the officers were executing a no-knock warrant but knocked anyway and identified themselves before breaking down her door. Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, said he heard pounding at the door but did not hear the officers announce that they were police.
Earlier in September, Biden called for the officers involved in the killing of Taylor — as well as the officers involved in the August shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis. — to be charged.
