After Breonna Taylor was killed in her home by police with a 'no-knock' search warrant, Louisville's black community wanted justice.
Recent protests in Los Angeles have served up a steady stream of troubling videos of police aggression and violence.Just after midnight on June 1, dozens of police and National Guard troops descended on the neighborhood to clear people from the streets. The people were not protesting and were miles away from the nearest demonstration, but they were in violation of Mayor Greg Fischer’s curfew.
“She was like the vibe of all vibes,” Bowman said. “When we say she was special, we’re watering it down a bit.”And yet Taylor’s killing almost fell into obscurity. Not only did it coincide with the pandemic, there was also no video of the incident, unlike in other police killings that have sparked immediate anger in recent years.
On the warrant, police said a postal inspector told police that the target of an ongoing drug investigation had received packages at Taylor’s address. The city’s postal inspector denied that claim in an interview with television station WDRB, saying there was no history of Taylor receiving suspicious packages.
“Poor management of the police department has led us to this moment in time,” said David James, a City Council member and former Louisville police officer. “The city never came out and said, ‘We’re going to be reviewing our policies and we’re so sorry this happened.’” McAtee was a patient listener whom people came to with their problems, said his sister, Addie McAtee, 50. Though he had been caught up in a violent lifestyle as a younger man, he had later committed himself to helping people resolve conflicts peacefully, she said.
In response to that and news that police were not wearing body cameras at the time of the McAtee shooting — a violation of department policy — Fischer fired Conrad.In an interview over the weekend, Fischer vowed to hire as his replacement a chief who will build “the most compassionate police force in the country.”
