office is charged with murder or even manslaughter. excellent question and i don't have an easy or simple answer for you because i don't know. law experts don't know the attorney of the taylor family doesn't really know and had to succumb to saying like this is a total disgrace this decision the attorney general of the state kentucky he said he followed the law the state law and there was no room and no space allowing him to charge any of those officers directly and that is key here directly to the death of briona taylor that's why we already have a charge off and danger meant in the 1st degree and 3 counts of this for one officer the other 2 weren't even charged it is literally no chacha can't any of the law enforcement involved in the death of briana taylor and of course this is not

a city divided by invisible borders and there does bridge police are checking cars driving in and out of a jackass the district is in lockdown because of the high number of current virus infections residents can only leave to go to work school or to the doctors this resident says she can't make sense of the measures. it's unfair nobody knows exactly who can go in or out or what is still allowed. it. is a poor neighborhood where many live in overcrowded conditions that's resulted in one of the highest infection rates in the city 6 times higher than more prosperous districts in the north many residents in by yak us have to travel to madrid to return neighborhoods for work often as cleaners or waiters many workers say the new rules are unreasonable. if they're not aware
