>> jake, none of the charges involve the officers who shot and killed breonna taylor. fficers are charged with falsifying information that provided the basis for the search warrant of taylor's apartment, specifically the officers said that someone involved in the drug trafficking operation they were investigating received packages at taylor's home and that's something that prosecutors say that the officers knew was false. and the indictment even accuses two of the officers of not just falsifying the affidavit, but then conspiring to lie about it afterwards, even meeting in a garage two months later where know fwroed to tell investigators a fake story. the last officer charged was at the scene of the botched police raid but officials say that he used unconstitutionally excessive force when he fired ten shots into the side window of taylor's apartment. that officer, he was previously charged in a state case, but it was ultimately acquitted. and, jake, we have just learned that two of the officers who actually still remain at the louisville police department, they are in t

in 2020 we was asking what happened to breonna taylor and kentucky, and now in 2022 we are asking what happened to breonna greer in the state of georgia. because, we learned from george floyd's trial the officers have to understand when a person is in your custody, they are in your care. especially a mentally ill patient, and that is why her mother called, reverend al. she was having a mental health crisis. she was in handcuffs in the back of the police car. she was supposed to get help. she was not supposed to end up dead. and that is why attorney eric hurd said on monday in the press conference to revealed the findings of the autopsy on the steps of the georgia capital. >> now, you mr. mrs. greer, from what i understand a very religious family. i just wanted you just want to the right thing to be done, and you find yourself in this situation. what is it that you want the state investigators to just tell you? what is it that you are calling for him? >> we are looking for accountability and transparency. we want this not to happen to no one else is child. our daughter was a lovely chil

garland said it directly led to the death of breonna taylor. three of the officers are accused of conspiring to falsify the central and a fourth was charged with unlawful use of deadly force. these charges are coming after widespread outrage when officer was charged by the state of kentucky in taylor's death. one officer was charged with fire his weapon recklessly in a way that endangered taylor's neighbor. he was acquitted, but is now charged again aced on the same conduct. court documents say the lead detective wrote in the march 2020 ward application he verify with a postal inspector that taylor's ex-boyfriend, a man who police suspected of dealing drugs that receive packages at her address. prosecutors announcing he knew the information was wrong and he and others conspired to mislead federal, state and local investigators. saying they even met in a garage two months after the shooting to get their story straight. at least one of the officers is the subject of a trello -- criminal investigation suggesting he is cooperating and are appearing

breonna taylor was shot in 2020 after police used an no-knock warrent to enter. investigators say police were shot at as they enter the home by taylor's boyfriend who believe the officers were intruders. the justice department is still investigating the department as a whole . >>> when congresswoman is looking to make a january 6th insurrection a permanent part of u.s. history. a peninsula representative jackie spears is proposing the commissioning of a mural to depict the january 6th insurrection on the walls of the u.s. capitol. if approved the mural would join a long list of historically significant moments depicted in the capitol including the 1814 burning of the u.s. capitol by the british and the use of the capitol rotunda as an infirmary during the civil war. >> the history of the capitol and the capitol is living history, certainly, but it's also a history that is emblazoned on the walls and on statues that will live on for generations and for centuries. >> a location will be determined somewhere on the north-south corridor. if approved, this will be the

and don't forget people may not remember breonna taylor was literally doing nothing wrong.p-in her bed, people kicked in the door and started shooting. she was shot eight times, and they were trying to serve a warrant on someone who was already in custody. so from the very beginning this thing was a stench in the nostrils of god. it never made any sense, and it took a new administration and merrick garland to finally do the right thing. but the credit goes to the mom and all the activists and others who refused to let this thing go. >> remember you think about the then-attorney general of the state of kentucky, daniel cameron talking about these issues of whether the grand jury was going to prosecute or whether they had charges on the officers who were there on scene as well. if you think that was just sort of in the past conversation, van, today he made these comments. i want you to listen. >> i think it is worth repeating again that our investigation found that mattingly and cosgrove were justified in their use of force after having been fired upon by kenneth walker. acco
