Police officer left out key facts in obtaining indictment of Breonna Taylor's boyfriend

A Louisville Police sergeant who secured an indictment against Kenneth Walker for attempted murder failed to give the grand jury key informa

#JusticeForBreonnaTaylor

The police officers were at the wrong home, in the middle of the night, serving a no-knock warrant thinking they would find drugs at the residence (which they did not, as neither Kenneth nor Breonna were drug dealers, nor was their home a trap house). Kenneth was frightened and thought the house was being broken into, and he fired one shot thinking he was defending the lives of his girlfriend and himself. Breonna was then shot EIGHT times and passed away.

He was charged with the attempted murder murder of a police officer and assault, despite not knowing at the time that those were officers, not burglars breaking in (they were plain-clothed, and Breonna and Kenneth were innocent of any crime, so how would he know), and a police sergeant intentionally omitted that information in front of the grand jury. The sergeant also did not mention that Breonna was killed by police at the scene when they shot at the pair, in fact - she didn't even mention her existence, and her testimony played a crucial role in the grand jury choosing to charge Kenneth with what they did. Sergeant Amanda Seelye misled them severely.

Seelye also told the grand jury that officers knocked, repeatedly announced themselves and then procceeded to break the door open and were immediately met by gunfire, which has been disputed by SIX WITNESSES that say there was no knocking or announcing. The mentioned "gunfire" was a single bullet.

My country’s literal revolution is happening right now but nobody cares bc it’s not impacting the US/Europe

i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls

Everybody in that line are the reason Black businesses don’t flourish in Black communities and we allow everyone else to pop in our neighborhoods and thrive

Then I Wrote to Him in Class

"Can I get get a sheet of paper?" I took it out of my beat up bag. Then generously removing the strip. I handed him the paper, giving me a straight thank you. He writes, I ponder. Then he hands me back the paper.On the same sheet of paper he wrote to me in class: "I love you.." some quote I can hardly remember. He smiled then I wrote back of something I thought at the top of my head: "I wrote: I love you till the Sun stops letting off it's heat.. but then again we'd all would have died long before this love commences."

I’m putting together a groupme for Black people interested in investing.

If you have zero knowledge, a little, some, or a lot, please let me know and I’ll add you to it. Let’s close the gap on generational wealth and share knowledge on stocks and whatever else you’re interested in investing in.

Please reblog and share so we can generate interest! 

You will meet many disabled and mentally ill people who won’t fit into your idea of how a mentally ill or disabled person is supposed to look and act - and the solution to that is to let them expand your knowledge of what mental illness and disability can look like, not insisting that they aren’t actually disabled or mentally ill because they don’t fulfill certain stereotypes.
