breonna taylor >> thank you, ms. palmish. palmer. thank you for your grace, year strength, for your love of breonna and of our city as well, and your determination to make this city a more just city and helped to get us to this agreement. i'm grateful for that. thank you. next we will hear from tamika mowry of untold freedom. >> justice for breonna taylor, and there ain't going to be no justice, there ain't going to be no peace a settlement is restitution, but it's not arresting the cops. we want to say today that the police officers responsible for killing breonna taylor must be arrested in order for the community to feel calm we understand this is an acknowledgement and a great acknowledgement of the wrongdoing that has happened it is important that our community understands what happened here today is very significant it is significant because, again, there is an acknowledgement on breonna taylor's life and the fact that those officers in this city murdered her breonna taylor has shifted the atmosphere she shifted it not just here

but six of those bullets hit breonna taylor. one of the bullets fired by officer cosgrove is the bullet that killed her according to a report made public today. everything about the police work i just described to you was judged to be wrong by the city of louisville and that is why the city settled the wrongful death lawsuit brought by breonna taylor's family last week for $12 million. the city of louisville in that settlement also promised police reforms to breonna taylor's family. that is a formal legal statement by the city of louisville, the killing of breonna taylor was wrong. but was it criminal? that was the question for the grand jury. we don't know what evidence was presented to the grand jury as of today. we only know that the grand jury did not find a crime in the killing of breonna taylor. but they did find criminal conduct at the scene by a third officer. the best description i have heard of what officer hankinson did is on "the new york times" podcast which describes what he did after he ran out of the apartment bu

breonna taylor!onths of protests, the city of louisville paid a $12 million settlement to breonna taylor's family, but they wanted the officers charged with manslaughter. a grand jury decided against that. according to kentucky law, the use of force by mattingly and cosgrove was justified to protect themselves. this justification bars us from pursuing criminal charges in miss breonna taylor's death. instead, one of the three officers involved was charged with a far lesser count of wanton endangerment. you've heard the announcement. what do you feel? angry, very angry, very upset. basically, everything that's going on right now, i'm pretty sure a lot of people are let down by hearing what they heard. ijust hope it doesn't rise into anger within ourselves, and we actually do hold peace. protesters here feel it's the decision not even to send these officers to trial for manslaughter that's made anger, perhaps violence inevitable. for them, in spite of a long summer of protest, little in america has been

breonna taylor. >> thank you, mrs. palmer. thank you for your grace and for your strength and for your love for breonna and for our city as well and your determination to make this city more just city and help to get us to this agreement. so i'm grateful for that. thank you. next we'll hear from tamika mallory of until freedom. tamika? >> thank you, mayor fisher. justice for breonna taylor. if there ain't no justice, there ain't going to be peace. a settlement is restitution but not arresting the cops. we want to say today that the police officers responsible for killing breonna taylor must be arrested in order for the community to feel calm. we understand that this is an acknowledgement and great acknowledgement of the wrong doing that has happened and it's important that our community understands what happened here today is very significant. it is significant because again, there is an acknowledgement of breonna taylor's life and the fact that those officers in this city murdered her. breonna taylor has shifted the atmosphere

for breonna taylor.nd the reason we heard those other initials was that the grand jury indicted one of the three officers. now former detective brett hankison on three counts of wanton endangerment for recklessly shooting into the neighbor's apartments, but not breonna taylor's. the other two officers face no charges at all, meaning none of the three officers will be charged for the actual killing of breonna taylor or for wantonly endangering her or her boyfriend, kenneth walker, who were the targets of the barrage of 20 bullets, 6 of which killed breonna taylor. meaning the grand jury did not find any of these officer s libl for killing breonna taylor. daniel cameron is a protege of senator mitch mcconnell, called breonna taylor's death a tragedy. as if her death was akin to a drowning or accident or being hit by a bus. but then proceeded to make a highly politicized speech that included calling out those who dare to use their platforms to seek justice for breonna taylor. >> there will be celebrities, i

breonna taylor's death. justice is not often easy, doesn't fit the mold of public opinion and it does not conform to shifting standards. >> all right, that announcement was within the last hour, ahead of that grand jury report, though, a very tense situation on the streets of louisville the louisville mayor declaring a state of emergency, calling in the national guard and announcing a curfew starting at 9:00 p.m. local time. there's so much to get to. we go right now to correspondent cal perry in louisville. and kimberly crenshaw, a law professor at ucla. and sheryl dorsey, a retired police sergeant. cal, let me begin with you. set the scene for us on the ground. what areout their reaction to t charges against one officer? >> reporter: people are upset. people are just now sort of reacting, we got the word in last few hours and leading up to this, this citywide curfew, a city in lockdown. we've been talking about it, these huge dump trucks, stopping vehicles from getting in. when we heard that announcement t

her life does matter. >> breonna taylor's life matters! reporter: for months now, 26-year-old taylor's name shouted on the streets amidst calls for police reform. but hopes for criminal charges may be dimming. >> in any other circumstance i would suggest there could potentially be a federal civil right the prosecution. i would suggest there could be a pattern and practice investigation of the louisville police department. i hold out little hope for that with this department of justice. >> reporter: under president trump's department of justice, they have dropped consent decrees which allows the federal government to oversee troubled police departments. after last night's protest in lieu louisville where two officers were shot, the president responded. >> i give my respects to the family of breonna. i think it's so sad with everything that's happening with that whole case, including law enforcement. >> the initial warrant was what's called a no-knock warrant, meaning they can arrive at the house, they don't have to announce themselves, they

not at breonna taylor's apartment. you can understand the outrage on behalf of the family and the attorneys, that say all three of the officers should have faced criminal charges. all three of the officers were reckless on that night. but according to the attorney general, that is not the evidence they had. kate? >> jason, thank you so much for laying that out. i really appreciate it. so much more to get to right now. as you can see on the pictures on your screen, that's in louisville, kentucky. let's get to shimon. what are you hearing from folks? >> yeah, we were initially inside jefferson square park, where many of the protesters have been gathering for weeks. people waiting for word on this investigation. and they were watching it live. they understood immediately what was happening. they understood that nobody would be held responsible for the death of breonna taylor. the police, the attorney general, as we heard, a short time ago, talking about how essentially the officers were justified in firing their weapons.

breonna taylor's life matters. breonna taylor's life continues to matter, as you see here today. i've thought about breonna's mother, miss palmer, throughout everything that has led us to today. the hole in my heart of losing a child as well is the greatest grief i've ever known in my life, and nothing can fill that hole. i've tried to think how i would have reacted if breonna was my daughter. miss palmer has shown remarkable grace and courage these past six months. we did not wait to engage miss palmer's counsel to discuss this case. the independent investigations by the attorney general's office and the fbi are welcomed, but that was not going to delay the work toward meaningful changes in our city. this is not simply a significant monetary figure, but as miss baker just mentioned, it is a path of agreed action. the reforms were discussed and moved ahead from representatives of both parties. this work happened over many weeks with good faith and dedication by everybody that has involved. everyone around the table was dedicated to advancing those reforms for the whole community,

breonna taylor! say her name! breonna taylor say her name breonna taylor! say her name! breonna taylor! >> you know, next, we will hear from the sister of tameka palmer, the aunt of breonna taylor, bianca austin, who i will tell you, before we were fighting for breonna taylor, she was like the lawyer front line, leading the protest, so it is aptly appropriate for bianca to come and make a statement on behalf of the family. so i will ask for the charity of your undivided attention while she read a message from the family and especially from the heart of breonna's mother, tameka palmer. please, miss austin? >> thank you, thank you. oh, well, i'm standing here today. i'm going to represent my niece in her emt jacket. i chose this just to have her be a part of us today. also, i just want a shout-out to our family. it's been a long six months and it's been a wild roller coaster. not only have we been out here fighting for justice for breonna, but we are continuing to lose our family members to cancer, to covid, to being murdered. and so my message to you is just cry your tear

we see the memorial set up in some ways for breonna taylor. and as the night started to go on and we got closer to curfew at 9:00 p.m., the crowd was becoming more and more agitated. starting to light small fires. and as a group of a couple hundred broke off from that park and started marching throughout downtown louisville. again we saw folks carrying weapons. it is open carry legal here. then we heard the gunfire. and now comes word two officers have been shot. this lies in the face of the what the family wanted. i spoke to her mother. she wanted protests to proceed for justice for her daughter. but wanted them to be non-violent. she said the people who are out here in the pass and have been destroying property, that is not in her daughter's name. this is not what the family wanted to see tonight. this is certainly not the situation that louisville metro police want to find themselves in. >> standby. i want to explain to the folks at home what we're seeing on the left. the left side officers in atlanta now. it's a full confrontation. with pr

taylor, if you were protesting for breonna taylor, if you signed a petition for breonna taylor, we needyes, sir. >> you know, obviously, tameka palmer and her entire family, her father is here from michigan. yeah, give him a round of applause. breonna taylor's entire family is heartbroken, devastated, and outraged and confused and bewildered. just like all of us as to what the kentucky attorney general, daniel cameron, present to the grand jury. did he present any evidence on breonna taylor's behalf? or did he make a unilateral decision to put his thumb on the scales of justice to help try to exonerate and justify the killing of breonna taylor by these plauolice officers, and i doing so, make sure that breonna taylor's family never got their day in court, never got their chance for due process and in essence, denied them justice. that's why we are standing here today, united in solidarity, declaring and demanding that he release the transcripts of the grand jury proceeding, so we can know if there was anybody giving a voice to breonna taylor. because with these results from this grand j

breonna taylor coughed and struggled to breathe. an ambulance on stand by outside the apartment was told to leave an hour counter to standard practice. ms. taylor was not given any medical attention, it was not until 12:47, about 5 minutes after the shooting that emergency personnel realized that she was seriously wounded after her boyfriend called 911. i don't know what's happening, mr. walker said in a recorded call to 911. someone kicked in the door and shot my girlfriend. the courier journal reported, despiting dispatch laws. i think what we saw there in that news conference with the attorney general and with the announcement from the grand jury, is very little -- very little acknowledgment of what happened to breonna taylor that night, not only with the shooting, she was in her bed, woken up, not only with the shooting but in the minutes that followed it and the fact that she did not get aid immediately when she was bleeding out and dying. >> i not only find that outrageous i also find it outrageous if they were pursuing a male,

breonna taylor's attorney calls the decision offensive. the fbi says that it is looking into all aspects of the breonna taylor case including the information used to get that search warrant and whether or not it was legal. alex presha, abc news, washington. >>> and he here in the bay area, protesters marched through the streets to demand justice for breonna. new video shows a crowd of about 100 people chanting breonna taylor's name. their destination was the mission police station where they held a rally calling to defund the police department. the crowd also held a moment of silence to honor breonna taylor. in the east bay, people joined together in what organizers called a revenge for breonna taylor rally. a crowd marched to police headquarters and faced off with dozens of officers. some demonstrators blocked access to some streets. they took a knee in the street, beating drums and chanting. another rally is scheduled for later this morning and we'll have more on that in our next half hour. >>> most schools are still closed to in-person

nothing to connect breonna taylor. that's despite the fact that the detective, who got these arrest warrants issued, said in advance that it is his belief, through training and evidence and experience, that she may be keeping narcotics and/or proceeds from the sale of narcotics at breonna taylor's address. so the information was very sketchy, to begin with. that is the crux of the case that breonna taylor's family brought against the louisville police. they don't believe that, for any reason, she should have been targeted in the first place. >> and, drew, police maintain that, despite being issued a no-knock warrant, they did, indeed, knock. breonna taylor's boyfriend, who was inside her apartment at the time, says that they did knock, which is in dispute. did the police identify themselves? the boyfriend says no, as do all but one neighbor of breonna taylor, is that correct? >> that's correct. breonna taylor's current boyfriend, kenneth walker, believed it was the old drug dealer come a knocking and that scared him. w

>> breonna taylor!i've always knew she would be great. i hate that she had to die. to be -- >> now reporting, deborah roberts. >> 911, operator harris, where's the emergency? >> i don't know what's happened. somebody kicked in the door and shot my girlfriend. >> is she alert and able to talk to you. >> no, she's bre, god. >> it had been a quiet friday night, 26-year-old emt, breonna taylor spending the evening in h her louisville home with her boyfriend. >> what was her relationship like? >> they did everything together, pretty much. >> the two watched a movie and breonna eventually drifts off to sleep. >> she actually just dozed off. laying there watching the movie by myself. >> at the same time, louisville metro police officers are sweeping the city, searching five different homes for possible drug operations. a suspect in their search, breonna's ex-boyfriend, jamarcus glover. police think he may have been keeping drugs or money in breonna's house. >> sometimes he would have clothing items or shoes, s

i spoke to breonna taylor's mother. she said that she wanted protests to proceed for justice for her daughter. but she wanted them to be nonviolent. she said those people who -- who are out here, in the past, who have been, you know, destroying property. that is not in her daughter's name. so this is certainly not -- not what breonna taylor's family wanted to see tonight. this is certainly not the situation that louisville metro police wanted to find themselves in. >> jason, i want you to stand by because i want to explain to the folks at home what we are seeing on the left side of your screen. you are seeing jason in louisville, on the right side. the left side, you see officers in atlanta. now, it's a full. in a confrontation it looks like with protestors. officers, with their weapons pointed at protestors in that crowd. and it looks like the protestors were -- let's see -- is that -- maybe, that's a camera. i can't really make it out. but maybe, it's a camera so don't quote me on that. i'm looking at these pictures.

say her name. >> breonna taylor!mer, breonna's mother. we also have state representative charles a-- stat representative charles booker and state representative at tica scott with us today. fresh out of jail for standing for breonna taylor. now, that's the transformation of leadership we need in america as we head into this november 2nd election that matters so much for so many reasons. for this moment in particular, this moment matters for breonna taylor. so if you were marching for breonna taylor, if you were exercising your first amendment rights for breonna taylor, if you were protesting for breonna taylor, if you signed a petition for breonna taylor, we need you to go sign a ballot and vote on november 2nd for breonna taylor! november 3rd. i'm thinking early vote. obviously tamika palmer and her entire family, her father is here from michigan. give him a round of applause. breonna taylor's entire family is heartbroken, devastated and outraged and confused and bewildered just like all of us as to what the kentuck

we wanted justice for breonna taylor.ot justice for her neighbors which is interesting because the officer who was charged was fired for shooting into the apartment. the chief of police wrote in the termination letter your actions displayed an extreme indifference to the value of human life when you want donnelly fired into the apartment of breonna taylor. we use the legal words like wanton, but basically the officer is charged for firing his weapon in public so dangerously that he put people's lives at risk, yet he wasn't charged at putting at risk the person who was actually killed. that's the what. the bigger question is why. the reason why he wasn't charged is because when this case goes to trial, breonna taylor's name will never even come up. all the jury will know is that the officer fired a weapon in a way that put three people's lives at risk and ultimate any none of those three people were harmed. this case will likely be resolved two to three years ago with a plea agreement that probably will not involve any pri

, the killing of breonna taylor. that is something that we have to wait, probably, to hear from the attorney general. remember, we're waiting for ballistics evidence. waiting for more information about that. but it's very clear at least from this indictment that the attorney general felt that what the officers here did was illegal. right? because he certainly ---ing hankinson didn't fall proper procedure and set themselves up for this situation where this happened. that's an important part of this, but most important, it's going to be about the community and people who have been fighting for police reform, for social justice across this country, across this country and reactions from here is any indication, this indictment is not going to be sufficient for a lot of the people who have been out here protesting every day, sitting here for weeks, calling for justice. and you can hear behind me already -- i think a lot of people, brianna, will are very unhappy about this. >> and laura, so many questions. nothing will bri

breonna taylor's residence. the officers were advised by superiors to knock and announce their presence in serving this specific search warrant. the scope of our investigation did not include the obtainment of that warrant by lmpd's criminal interdiction division. federal law enforcement partners are conducting that investigation. sergeant mattingly and detectives cosgrove and hankison had no known involvement in the preceding investigation or obtainment of the search warrant. they were called in to duty as extra personnel to effectuate the service of the search warrant. they only had information conveyed to them during their prior briefing. evidence shows that officers both knocked and announced their presence at the apartment. the officers' statements about their announcement are corroborated by an independent witness who was near in proximity to apartment 4. in other words, the warrant was not served as a no-knock warrant. when officers were unable to get anyone to answer or open the door to apartment 4, the

breonna taylor. amy: the city of louisville, kentucky, has agreed to pay the family of breonna taylor $12 million more than six months after police shot and killed the 26-year-old black emergency room technician in her own apartment. it is one of the largest settlements ever reached for a black woman killed by police. we will speak to mychal denzel smith, author of the new book "stakes is high: life after the american dream." then israel signs a u.s.-brokered deal to normalize relations with the united arab emirates and bahrain. >> this date is a pivot of history. peace.lds a new dawn of amy: president trump's supporters sayay he deserves to win the nobel peace prize. we will speak to palestinian-american attorney noura erakat, who sa these are sham deals that will boost oppression in the middle east. all that and more, coming up. welcome toto democracy now!, democracynow.org, the quarantine rereport. i'm amy goodman. the city o of louisville, kentucky, announced d tuesday it will pay the family y of

no mention of breonna taylor.ints for looking at things that should've already been in place. then when they violate their own policies and procedures they will tell us that's not what you saw, that's not what we did, carry on. >> the governor of kentucky wants the attorney general to make all of the evidence in the case public. governor andy beshear says they should know the facts. do you think that will be enough to calm those who are angry over the lack of charges for breonna taylor's death releasing the evidence? >> i mean, listen, release the evidence if you want to or not. what families want, what everyone seems to be most upset about is a failure to hold police officers accountable when they do things that are contradictory to training and/or loss. so, make it available or not. but hold the officers accountable. and we know that that won't be happening in this case because we've already heard from the a.g. that in his mind 16 shots through a closed door or an open door that they just entered is somehow just

let's talk more about this breonna taylor -- what happened today with the breonna taylor case.ow is it that a young woman was just sleeping in her bed, then gets up when there's a knock at the door, shot by police, but no one is being held accountable for her death? >> it's really shocking, don, that we find ourselves in this situation, but we -- we've been here before. and as disappointing as this decision by the grand jury was, it wasn't totally surprising. what we have in this country is really a lack of transparency when it comes to the kinds of cases like breonna taylor. this attorney general for kentucky took over 180 days to provide any information to the public, and that has led to such a level of distrust by the people of kentucky and advocates all over this country, and it really leads us to but one conclusion, which is that there is no regard, there's a total disregard for black lives. >> mm-hmm. >> and there is no real explanation, i think, that would satisfy anyone as to why there wasn't any charges lodged against at least one of these officers when you look at wha

to breonna taylor. the civil suit agreed upon between the city and family, had police reforms on it. we have to have someone supervising any raids like the one at breonna taylor's house. you have to have body cam activated before police to the scene. we have a situation so in a civil suit you had more police reform than in the criminal proceedings. >> what is the situation? they blocked off part of the downtown area in louisville? have people gathered or gone home as a result of a curfew? >> most people have gone home. three or four dozen people are making their way around. police are pushing them. we moved back because those four police cars came up and said now is the time everybody goes to jail. police tried to enforce at 9:00 p.m., and at 10:00 a.m. there was another warning. they slowly escalate the force. it seemed like 11:00 p.m. was the cutoff time. police looked us in the eyes and said everybody is going to jail, get out of here. that's why we moved back. >> stay safe out there. cal is in louis

so much going on at this moment. >> one thing, breonna taylor, breonna taylor, breonna taylor.hank you, nichole. >> thank you. thank you for bringing us back to the news we started with. sneak in a quick break. we'll be right back. break we'll be right back. - completing the census ensures federal dollars are spent on schools, hospitals, and restorations in our neighborhoods. - funding is at stake for marginalized communities. - so make it count to be counted. the more you know. tonight, i'll be eating a veggie cheeseburger on ciabatta, no tomatoes..

we will charge one of the officers involved in the breonna taylor case.portland, there's been a surge of shootings here in recent months up nearly 200% in july and august from the year before and already doubling in the month of september. so that fight comes after portland mayor, ted wheeler, who is also the police commissioner disbanded here cities task force team in terms of keeping gun violence down in the city. they also slashed the budget of the police by $15 million. after those two actions you have seen a surge in violence. as the president of the portland police association darrell two-point turner joins me now. thank you very much for being here. so what you might need to put something along the lines of that force back in place to stop people from getting shot in the streets in portland? >> while he realizes that it was a mistake. defunding the police is not a solution, it's a political stunt. portland police officers and all police officers responded to calls to service. no matter what your race, creed, culture, religion or sexual orientation

up -- that attorney general is a rising star in the republican party and briefly referred to breonna taylor whether y are the family of breonna tayr -- >> breonna taylor's family did not appreciate the mention. >> it was unprofessional of him to mix politics behinher name. we still have the same questionm he day it happened. we just feel like is a cover-up. a blank police report, you know, the details that have come out. they are all lies. we feel like we are being lied to.something is getting covered. >> breonna taylor's caseas exposed decades of mistrust between the black community and law enforcement. >> as far as seeing real policeo tability, it is rare at best. it leads to the frustrations. >> breonna taylor wondered what her life would be if she did not move here from michigan. as mourners continue to, they relmber a young woman who w never find the answer. jane: let's have a look at some of the other news. beirut. fire has broken out in blazes begun in an area where oil and tires are stored. it has tggered memories of last month's deadly blast. people are angry the blaze has grown ou

>> breonna taylor! >> say her name! >> breonna taylor! you >> say her name! >> breonna taylor!> that chant "say her name" is part of a movement meant to highlight the names of black female victims of violence. we want to focus on the case that has move sod many in the streets in louisville and elsewhere and discuss why the grand jury decided to charge one officer with wanton endangerment. this is the attorney for breonna taylor's family, benjamin crump. i wonder your reaction to the charges and how the taylor family has been dealing with this. >> well, anderson, breonna's family was devastated. they were heart broken, and they were outraged. and like me and my co-counsels, attorney anita baker and attorney sam aguilar, they were baffled by what kentucky attorney general david cameron actually presented to the grand jury. did he present any evidence at all on behalf of breonna taylor? and if he didn't, then he unilaterally made the decision to put his thumb on the scales of justice to exonerate those police officers that killed breonna taylor and made sure that she would not get

and as a result of this the breonna taylor family will not see justice. >> jeffrey, breonna taylor was only 26 years old. this is all so sad. she was working as an emt right at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. she was killed. what does it say that none of these police officers today even relate to her death itself, that the charges were totally unrelated? >> yes. this case is a tragic and heartbreaking. but i have to say, the facts that the attorney general brought out shows that this has been a problematic case to bring. as the evidence that was presented, and i realize some of this is contested, but mr. walker, her boyfriend, appears to have fired the first shot and hit one of the officers. so, it is very different from walking and firing than returning fire. now, i recognize that that's disputed. but there is proof, apparently, that it was disclosed today that the bullet in the officer's leg came from walker's gun. that would be a very difficult fact to deal with in front of a jury. that of course does not excuse shooting breonna taylor on the floor as the evidence also appear

>> breonna taylor!reporter: the shooting capped a night of protests in louisville and around the country. >> i am so sorry, baby. >> reporter: as daylight broke, so, too, did the emotions of people like ronay williams. >> they robbed the family! they robbed her of her life! >> rporter: outside of taylor's apartment is a small memorial. >> it was gun shells on my door frame and on the mat and everything. >> reporter: de'ja moore, who says she was questioned by investigators, lives right across from taylor's now-vacant apartment. you were there that night. >> yeah. >> reporter: what do you recall? >> they didn't announce themselves. because we have hollow walls. we would have heard them. everybody would have heard them. >> reporter: for the first time since yesterday's announcement, we heard from taylor's mother through an instagram post, a picture of her daughter with the hashtag #thesystemfailedbreonna. >> breonna taylor for me and for many of us, she hit a chord. >> reporter: trained attorney sadiqa re

hashtag breonna taylor.nwhile a woman named linda sarsour recently spoke at the democratic party's convention in august and tweeted this today.
