Amid several violent Black Lives Matter protests on Wednesday, Democrat vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (CA) seemingly encouraged the activists to continue their demonstrations.
The protests broke out Wednesday evening in Louisville and later other cities across the nation after a Kentucky grand jury did not bring murder charges against the officers involved in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor.
“Tonight, I’m thinking of Breonna Taylor’s family who is still grieving the loss of a daughter and sister,” Harris wrote.

We must never stop speaking Breonna’s name as we work to reform our justice system, including overhauling no-knock warrants.

“We must never stop speaking Breonna’s name as we work to reform our justice system, including overhauling no-knock warrants,” Harris added.
Former Vice President Joe Biden also commented amid the protests, urging Americans to “continue to speak” Taylor’s name.
“We must continue to speak Breonna Taylor’s name, support her family still in grieving, and never give up on ensuring the full promise of America for every American,” Biden wrote in a tweet, which contained a link to his statement on the ruling in Taylor’s death.

“Breonna Taylor was a beloved daughter, member of her community, and an essential worker who served as an E.M.T. as COVID-19 began to spread,” Biden stated. “But she died, shot in her own home by the police. In the wake of her tragic death, we mourn with her mother, family, and community and ask ourselves whether justice could be equally applied in America.”
In his statement, Biden called for no violence and suggested Americans start “addressing the use of excessive force, banning chokeholds, and overhauling no-knock warrants.”
Biden added:
A federal investigation remains ongoing, but we do not need to wait for the final judgment of that investigation to do more to deliver justice for Breonna. We know what is necessary. We need to start by addressing the use of excessive force, banning chokeholds, and overhauling no-knock warrants. I know people are frustrated and they have a right to peacefully protest, but violence is never acceptable. And we can express pain, grief, anger, and disappointment at the way things are, but remain focused on rebuilding trust in our communities and delivering change that can be.
Two Louisville Metro Police Department Officers were also shot early in the evening of the protests on Wednesday. According to a press briefing from authorities after the shooting, one officer is recovering and the other officer is undergoing surgery.
Several other protesters in Louisville attempted to set fire to the Hall of Justice and other areas of Louisville.
Both Biden and Harris later released statements on the two officers who were shot in Louisville.
“.@JoeBiden and I are keeping the police officers who were shot in Louisville in our hearts, wishing them a swift and speedy recovery,” Harris wrote. “Violence is not the answer and we must find a way to express our grief, anger, and demands in ways that reflect the world we wish to see.”

“Even amidst the profound grief & anger today’s decision generated, violence is never & can never be the answer,” Biden stated in a tweet. “Those who engage in it must be held accountable. Jill & I are keeping the officers shot tonight in Louisville in our prayers. We wish them both a swift & full recovery.”
Imagine, this WHOLE thing is a fabricated HOAX. FACTS matter and the facts in this case, the George Floyd case, and the last two socalled police brutality cases dont live up to the hype. The left doesn’t care about the facts, only the hype. As I read yesterday —– More people have died from the riots than the cases they are protesting. DUH!!!!!. Never mind the millions of dollars in damage that have been inflicted.
If these people would take a long look at the situation and witness statements this is what they would find. The guy that was with her started this by shooting at the police. When he started the crime (yes shooting cops is illegal) he also became the cause of Taylor’s death. As for the Grand jury none of their decisions is made public as per the law. If you want it changed use the legal way by putting in elected persons who will change the law.
Breonna Taylor was a CRIMINAL and DIED as one. QUIT making this CRIMINAL a MARTYR! One DISGUSTED Patriot. Team Trump and his allies 2020.
why is that KUMALA? because you support criminals? the truth has come out about her and we know where you stand pandering black votes like you even care!
The shooting death of Breonna Taylor, 26, by police during a raid at her home in Louisville, Kentucky, has sparked outrage around the country and a demand for answers.
On Thursday, the city’s mayor and police chief asked the U.S. Justice Department and the FBI to review the police department’s internal investigation into the shooting. The Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron also announced that he was asked to serve as a special prosecutor.
Here is what we know about the case.
Breonna Taylor is killed, family files lawsuit
Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, were asleep in their apartment when just before 1 a.m. on March 13 three plainclothes officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department arrived to execute a search warrant in a drug case.
The two believed their apartment was being broken into when police busted through the door, according to a lawsuit by Taylor’s mother, Tamika Palmer.
Walker called 911, grabbed a gun and fired, shooting an officer in the leg. He had a license to carry and kept firearms in the home, and Taylor was unarmed.
The lawsuit accuses the officers of “blindly firing” more than 20 shots into the apartment. Taylor, a former EMT worker, was shot eight times and died. Walker, 27, was arrested and charged with assault and attempted murder on a police officer.
Taylor and Walker had no criminal history or drug convictions, and no drugs were found in the apartment during the raid, the suit states.
Police have not commented directly on Taylor’s death. The three officers involved in the shooting were reassigned pending the outcome of the investigation.
The no-knock search warrant
According to The Courier-Journal in Louisville, a judge had approved a “no-knock” search warrant, meaning police could enter the home without identifying themselves.
At a March 13 news conference, police Lt. Ted Eidem said officers had knocked on the door several times and “announced their presence as police who were there with a search warrant.” After forcing their way in, they “were immediately met by gunfire,” Eidem said.
But the lawsuit by Taylor’s family says that police did not knock or identify themselves before they busted into the apartment.

Kampala might be surprised to find out that a lot of us normal do not know or care who Breonna is it is a sad thing but most of us have our own problems and Breonna is not one of them
Do you ever feel like you are in “Bizzaro World”? Politicians advocate violence. Go Fund Me accounts
for folks involved in crimes up to $14million. The press has become sensationalists. An elderly gentleman running for office that exhibits senility. Head of the House of Reps that believes rules don’t apply to her.
So many protests that even the protestors are confused about what they are protesting.
Who is running these crazy things. Help!
Kamala is two faced. What ever gets her votes. Check out her Calif record.
