What Kentucky did was ridiculous. Support the Louisville Community Bail Fund. I did. See the first tweet below.
The best way to show up from afar for the city of #Louisville and organizers as they face the grand jury decision in the murder of #BreonnaTaylor is to RT their experiences and help fund & share the bail fund. https://t.co/J3scpnAVQK

Correct. That is the state of human rights in Kentucky. https://t.co/mgHsEcreEG

So no one in Louisville was responsible for killing Breonna Taylor, but the city awarded $12m to her estate? The city must have thought someone did something to settle like that, no?

There’s an armed group of Trump white supremacists ready to meet them. This is not a drill. Keep your eyes on Louisville. https://t.co/gvTGmR8g5v

That sums up what Black people are feeling at this moment all over the country about the American promise of equal justice and full citizenship. https://t.co/74OrL1tVtK

That’s what’s sticking with me here in Louisville as I see the reaction to the Breonna Taylor announcement. I’ve covered a lot of these but I don’t remember ever seeing this much hurt, this much crying from protesters.
Daniel Cameron just called Breonna Taylor’s death “part of a national story.” No, man. Her death is a robbery. Those officers robbed her of her life. They robbed her family and her boyfriend of their loved one. They robbed Louisville of a first responder. Who elected this man?

Bear in mind that the prosecutor presents information to the grand jury.

It's not a public proceeding, so we don't know what Louisville prosecutors said to those jurors about Breonna Taylor's murder.
But we do know that this indictment is pathetic in light of the evidence.
Celebrities spoke out about the Breonna Taylor case https://t.co/e5VlFvCFkr

And then an Ice Cream truck drives up with its music playing right in the middle
A woman scream “READ THE ROOM ICE CREAM MAN!!!!”
Nobody will stand trial in the death of Breonna Taylor because that's the way things work in the world created by our misbegotten "war" on drugs, a world in which very few of us live, and that even fewer of us understand. https://t.co/BeZXli74Qd

Cameron is not, to my mind, a “sellout.” He’s just a tool. A tool of the White supremacist system unable or unwilling to oppose it. He didn’t betray anybody because ain’t nobody who knows what he’s about counted on him to be any better than he is.

So it turns out they can arrest someone without waiting six months? https://t.co/VxND9K9e5w

Take note that the (Democratic) prosecutors who whiffed the ball on grand juries for Tamir Rice and Michael Brown were subsequently voted out of their jobs. Just leaving that right there for ole Mr. Cameron. #getthisdance

Sad!
