The Louisville mayor announced the news this morning.
to the Kentucky Attorney General, demanding for the justice Breonna and her family deserve.
“Three months have passed,” Beyoncé repeats three times in her letter, “yet LMPD’s investigations have created more questions than answers.“Three months have passed — and Breonna Taylor’s family still waits for justice,” Beyoncé continues. “Ms. Taylor’s family has not been able to take time to process and grieve. Instead, they have been working tirelessly to rally the support of friends, their community, and the country to obtain justice for Breonna.
Beyoncé also made three demands, including criminal charges brought against the three officers, Jonathan Mattingly, Myles Cosgrove, and Brett Hankison; for the state of Kentucky to commit to transparency and the officers investigated and tried; and a state investigation into the police practices that led to Breonna’s death, as well as deaths of other unarmed Black people at the hands of police in Kentucky.
While the firing of Hankison is just a small step in achieving justice for Breonna Taylor, we are hopeful it is just the first.
