first of all, the first thing had to do he had to go to kentucky kentucky in order to have a legitimate claim because it gave priority to settlers. but, then once he gone to kentucky and the next thing you have to do is go back to richmond in order to pay the fees that would allow you to claim the lands that you had already visited. so you would go to the treasures office enrichment to pay a patent fee, get a treasures receipt and to the auditors office where you would get the treasures you see then we go to land offices weather receive an certificate entitle you to a land more and then with the land more in hands you can return to kentucky. and in kentucky register with the county server and i have a land surveyed. so you go first of all to kentucky to find it where you want to be in the first place, then you go back to richmond and go back to this elaborate steps series of steps enrichment to get all the legal papers they need to go back to kentucky, and then you have to get it to hire a survey or to do a survey. this is a lot of people were doing this at the same time there's no syst

i think kentucky is one of them. >> no, kentucky is big enough to be a state. but that is right, you can't become a state until you reach a certain population. so it creates a territorial status, and then which is to say that it is an area that is governed by the federal government but doesn't yet have state status. but in the northwest ordinance, when 60,000 people reside in the territory, then they can, you know, gather together and apply for statehood status. this is so unusual. and it's really contrary to for example the british model of colonization, because great britain created the colony of -- name your colony, virginia, but it is never going to be a part of great britain. this is a permanent colony. this is a nation made up of states to envision this kind of elastic western boundary, elastic number of states. jefferson here has drawn a map in which new, not yet existing states, outnumber the original 13 states of the united states. what nation would do this to itself? it is a very strange idea, right. it is a very strange idea to have woven into the fa

that's exactly what these kentucky settlers did. in the course of the of american revolution, these kentucky settlers made common cause with the united states and with the revolutionary governments that managed them. and they made very specific pleas about the legitimacy of their occupation and settlement. they specifically talked about the fact that the king had limited, had restricted access, to these western lands, but that they had fought and bled for these lands at the battle of point pleasant. they had a legitimate and meaningful claim to these lands. they were also interested in liberty. they really thought what the united states was talking about was pretty great and they wanted to be part of it. and they said the united states would be foolish to miss the opportunity to incorporate such skilled riflemen into their ranks. they petitioned congress and said, you know, if you support us out here, we will fight for you and we will keep the native peoples off of your backs. so, they basically made the case that in addition to the

including kentucky. ballots were moved after election day or ballots received after election day is a disaster waiting to happen. if you vote by mail, then do it now or at least by october 15 or october 20, to ensure that it has time to arrive by election day. we know what the consequences of ballots accumulating in the days and weeks after the election day will be. look no further than a recent new york primary where governor cuomo's shift to mail-in voting led to absolute chaos. election officials disqualified thousands of ballots for not having timely postmarks and the election wasn't certified for six weeks. the surest guarantee of election integrity is for americans to vote in person, where safe and possible. even dr. faust has declared in -- dr. fauci has declared in-person voting to be safe. this comes with knowledgeable workers, identity verification and secure ballot submission practices. these safeguards will minimize any delay in election results and ensure the integrity of the outcome. i wish

the kentucky attorney general. let's watch. >> last month, to meet in person with her and other members of miss taylor's family, including ms. bianca austin and jeniyah palmer. i want to again public by express my condolences. every day the family wakes up to the realization that someone they loved is no longer with them. there is nothing i can offer today to take away the grief and the heart weak the family is experience -- heartache the family sex pearancing as familiar ifamily is experiencinr losing a niece, a child, a friend. but i can provide the facts which my office has worked long and hard to uncover, analyze, scrutinize since accepting this case in mid-may. i urge everyone listening to not lose sight of the fact that a life has been lost. a tragedy under any circumstances. the decision before my office as a special prosecutor in this case was not to decide if the loss of miss taylor's life was a tragedy. the answer to that question is unequivocally yes. there is no doubt that this is a gut-wrenching emotio

i want to gove kentucky attorney general announcement today. >> according to kentucky law the use of force was justified. this bars us from pursuing criminal charges in miss breonna taylor's death. criminal homicide encompasses the taking of a life by another. while there are six possible homicide charges under kentucky law, these charges are not applicable to the facts before us because our investigations show and the grand jury agreed that mattingly and cosgrove were justified in their return of deadly fire after everything been fired upon by kenneth walker. >> so we have brett tolman an darrell parks. darrell if i could get your thoughts about this news? >> i think it's a tough case that the news that the attorney general brought forth. the black community hears this but the problem is we've seen so much of the facts that happened in this case and although we don't know what the matter in which the case was presented to the grand jury it seems to most of us in the african-american community that the law doesn't seem to match one the facts here and how can we have loss of life breo

against the peace and dignity of the commonwealth of kentucky. mr. foreperson, is that the decision of the grand jury? >> yes, it is. >> thank you. sir, if you would, please, randomly select a number. >> division 13. >> division 13. thank you, sir. the case will be asooned to jefferson county decision 13. do you have a motion with respect to bond? >> yes, your honor. asks for $15,000 full cash bond for the defendant. >> i will grant the motion and assign bond in the amount of $15,000 full cash. and issue a warrant. that concludes the business of the grand jury sitting for jefferson county in september 2020. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. you may be excused. i'm going off the record. >> we have been listening to the jefferson county proceedings as announced by the local judge there. and it would appear that there is charges against a single officer for wanton endangerment in the police shooting death of breonna taylor. you saw the proceeding as far as we understand it, that is to say, the judge spoke with the grand jury as you heard, discussed those

tonight kentucky's ag said mob justice is not justice. one former l.a.p.d. sergeant had this to say about cameron's message tonight on another network. >> let me say this as a black woman, he does not speak for black folks. he is a skin folk he is not kin folk. >> shannon: technical difficulties but will not get to that, we will get a reaction to the statement in the grand jury's decision in just a minute, this is "fox news @ night" and i'm shannon bream in washington, we have life team coverage in louisville, the scene of earlier unrest and a late-night news conference by police but we begin at the scene of the shooting, what can you tell us? >> what started as a day of peaceful demonstrations has now turned into a night of violence. take a step out of the way so you can see what's happening, that's the fbi out there blocking off the street just a few blocks away from where this shooting took place a few hours ago. just outside of downtown louisville, a mile away from the center of where many of these protests begin. it has been a very hectic night for law

we are frustrated here in louisville, kentucky.ty and the no knock warrants, just talk us through that how that works and how that has impacted the situation. how it worked on march 13 is one set of facts to stop but, we passed the lockyer louisville, kentucky, the only metro council and the entire united states of america that has passed a ban on no knock wa rra nts that has passed a ban on no knock warrants and an ordinance that requires body determines to be activated and operated in footage to be stored on all search warrants. but what happened was the tragedy was on march 12, five search warrants, no knock search warrants we re warrants, no knock search warrants were applied for an affidavit was swarmed by an officer, joshua james, and he presented that to a judge that approved and signed five simultaneous no knock warrants. four of those no knock warrants were then conducted as we went into the night time and it became march 13. at ms. taylor was shot and killed in her home as a result of those no knock search warrants being

and he says he's going to be speaking to the kentucky governor soon. what's your reaction to what we heard from the attorney general and what we heard from the president? >> well, i certainly believe that because he did speak at the convention -- and i'm not saying that anyone does not have that right, but it certainly took him out of being objective to obviously supporting the nominee of his party. and so, i think that this says -- and kwlyes, i heard the statement about people may not understand kentucky. but people do understand the loss of a human life, a female in this context, when justice has not been served. there is no justice in this -- there is not justice yet, i should say, because we don't know. the fbi is still doing an investigation. but thus far there's been no justice. it's just very sad that in 2020 we're still going through some of the same things that happened years ago. the fact that you can just knock down a door and go in and shoot someone is unconscionable. and we -- again, i think the system has to be addressed, meaning the sys

soi police department in kentucky.e this point that it is going to be a hard, near impossible thing to get done in the first place, they do think there were some challenges, but ultimately the fa ct challenges, but ultimately the fact that there was not a homicide charge on this indictment is a miscarriage of justice, not only to breonna taylor and her family, but justice, not only to breonna taylor and herfamily, but the country at large. charles, we're seeing low pictures coming in from louisville, clearly a lot very angry people that, i assume they and you think the best way for the police to change their approach to these situations is a change in prison. there is a problem, protest on the street feed into president trump's agenda. he is himself as the law and order candidate. so that is a very interesting point and it raises some of the nuance that is associated with a lot of this process. what you have to realise is a lot of the protests that have ta ken place throughout the nation have been peaceful. the notion

matt reporting in frankfurt kentucky at this hour. >> the kentucky attorney general was often emotional as he announced the findings of the grand jury. he says as a black man he understands how painful this is for the black community and was speaking on behalf of his team they were search informing the truth and some of the scrutiny receive was misplaced because they did their best to investigate this case the attorney-general saying twice the criminal law is not always meant to respond what he calls a tragedy. big news of the day up in of the officers charged with murder. one officer hankinson charged with wanton endangerment. the attorney-general says cosgrove and massingly were authorized to use force because they were shot at first. the kentucky attorney general said they only had information about carrying out an attorney general says evidence shows officers knocked and announced at breonna taylor's apartment this was not a no knock warrant which he says was corroborated by independent witness the attorney-general revealing breonna taylor was fired six times on shot fatal the attor

the kentucky national guard.ms to be state police, if i'm not mistaken, and louisville police as well. that is here, trying to kind of establish a perimeter and separate these two groups. that's kind of the situation here, alex. this is swrefrson square park, quite a ways away from churchill downs and the kentucky derby. certainly tensions in this city are extremely high right now. >> gabe, stay with me here. i'm going to ask your cameraman to stay on this picture as we're seeing a very large increased police presence just as you're talking there, over your shoulder. i'm going to ask latosha to weigh in on what she sees here. latosha, what are your big concerns? we'll bring that picture up if we can. as you watch the police come in, we heard certainly some angry there is these two equal sides. and it is not. there is one side that is actually using what is really a constitutional right of freedom of speech to actually protest. this country was foundnd in the context of protest. we are seeking a peaceful presentat

it was a long night last night in kentucky.ning givers us hope of a better world and a better commonwealth here in kentucky. >> that is good to hear. i wanted to, if i can, on the officer's non-life-threatening injuries, did they have any update? >> i talked to one of the officers. he's a major directly last night while he was shot, his prognosis is actually very good. he thought he might get to go home last night. we got a chance to talk about our families. we both have kits, we didn't spread out far no. he was in good spirits. i talked to the mother of the other officer who had to have a couple surgeries last night but is expected to recover. i'm going to check in again this morning with him. we got to remember just like when we think about everybody's paying today, that these individuals also people's children, oftentime's people's parents. we are rooting for a full recovery. >> governor, you previously served as the attorney general of kentucky, yourself. you are a lawyer, yourself. are you satisfied with the grand jury's d

the kentucky attorney general. daniel cameron.e officers were justified in their use of force. because taylor's boyfriend fired first. joe biden is issuing a statement. breonna taylor was a beloved daughter, member of her community. and essential worker who served as an emt as covid-19 began to spread. she died shot in her own home by the police. in the wake of the tragic death we mourn with her mother. family and community. and ask ourselves whether justice can be equally applied in america. i know for so many people today's decision doesn't answer the call. people are frustrated and have a right to peacefully protest. violence is never acceptable. we can express pain and grief and anger. disappointment. at the way things are. but remain focussed on rebuilding trust in the community and delivering change that can be the change that can be. we have all of this as we saw a stunning moment tonight from the white house podium. the president refusing to commit a peaceful transition of power after an election that's only 41 days away.

13 years in kentucky. i did it as a prosecutor and a defense attorney, so i know the law of self-defense in kentucky. and i know that you don't have the right to use the defense of self-defense when you injure or kill an innocent third party. and what we know from sergeant mattingly's own testimony to the public integrity unit is that he saw that breonna taylor was unarmed. >> his own testimony, he saw breonna taylor, he saw that breonna taylor was unarmed. and you put a lot of attention on the bullet, the fatal -- the fatal shot to breonna taylor being made. if he wasn't able to see breonna taylor, to also see that she was unarmed, then he also was firing just as recklessly as brett hankison, and he deserves to be here charged with murder of breonna taylor. if he didn't see her, he didn't have target acquisition and he deserves to be charged right now. >> school 'em! >> tell us how you feel. >> so don't tell us that the grand jury made this determination if it was truly your determination. answer that que

the kentucky attorney general said that was corroborated by an independent witness, also says two of three officers involved were authorized to use force but they were fired at first by breanna taylor's boyfriend kenneth walker who says he told police he fired first as he thought intruders were breaking in. breanna taylor's family and attorney were demanding second-degree manslaughter, that did not happen. here is taylor's attorney responding. >> breanna taylor, she is in her apartment, in the sanctity of her home, the place where you are expected to be safe. >> in kentucky attorney general says he's a black man speaking on behalf of the entire investigation and as a black man understand how painful this is for the black community, the kentucky attorney general says criminal law is not always meant to respond to what he calls a tragedy. >> representatives in the attorney general's office of taken a lot of criticism and scrutiny that scrutiny in many ways is misplaced because there was not a day people in this office didn't go to sleep thinking about this case and wasn't a day when th

our governor likes to talk about team kentucky, and i believe him earnestly. in that charge, and i hope that extends to the results that were issued here today, and i hope that extends to all of our neighbors. thank you, and god bless. >> we have been listening to kentucky attorney general daniel cameron in the long awaited presentation. his press conference on the grand jury decision in the shooting death of breonna taylor by police officers. our experts join me in a moment. let me walk through five things we heard because this was a lengthy and at times legal presentation. number one, the attorney general announcing his conclusion. his legal view that this was a justified shooting. that is to say in legal terms, a justified killing. number two, he announced that the officer who fired the fatal shot, according to the evidence they have, will not be charged at all. so the attorney general giving us a window into some of what was presented to the grand jury by saying they have evidence who fired the fatal shot and it was not grounds for in his view any charge.

in case you have just joined us, louisville, kentucky.family of breonna taylor, the black medical worker shot dead by police in her home in kentucky are expressing their angen kentucky are expressing their anger, generally, that no—one is to be charged with her killing. one local police officer is to be prosecuted for a lesser offence, because some of his bullets went into a neighbour's property. she died, of course, in march. she was 26 and her death has added more fuel to the widespread protests against less violence and racism. that is the scene currently in louisville. we will keep an eye on that and return a little later in the programme. let's get some of the day's other news. a petrol tanker has exploded after colliding with other vehicles in central nigeria, killing at least 25 people, including some primary school children. police in the city of lokoja say the tanker driver lost control and rammed into oncoming vehicles. president donald trump has announced a new series of sanctions on cuba. us citizens will be prohibited from st

the attorney general of kentucky, i should say. so it appears that he's acknowledging at least to a degree that something may have gone wrong. but based on the charges, no one is actually being held accountable for the death of breonna taylor. >> that's correct. and the task force looks at how they can take actions prospectively, not necessarily retroactively, which of course does nothing for the family of breonna taylor or kenneth walker or the three occupants of the adjacent apartment. but it also is notable that none of the three officers i believe who actually executed the warrant were those that drafted the warrant. what they're looking for most notably, there is this theory going around that perhaps they already had the intended suspect who was a part of whatever drug ring they thought was a part of this case. they already had that suspect either in custody or knew about his whereabouts. and then at some later time, there is a discussion of whether the warrant at the time of execution was somehow changed or altered to reflect

the streets of louisville, kentucky, and around the country after a grand jury presented its report on the police killing of breonna taylor, indicting one former officer on criminal charges, but shooting for into her neighbor's apartment, not for the death of breonna taylor, today marks 6 months and 10 days since she was killed in her home. brett hankison faces wanton endangerment charges. in the news conference, the kentucky attorney general daniel cameron called taylor's death a tragedy while saying the officers were in fact justified in their use of force. >> according to kentucky law, the use of force by mattingly and cosgrove was testified to protect themselves. this justification bars us from pursuing criminal charges in ms. 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 natio

the kentucky attorney general's name is daniel cameron.g that the officers were justified in their use of force because taylor's boyfriend fired at them, first. joe biden is issuing a statement, tonight, including this. he says breonna taylor was a beloved daughter, member of her community, and an essential worker, who served as an emt as covid-19 began to spread. but she died. shot, in her own home, by the police. in the wake of her tragic death, we mourn with her mother, family, and community, and ask ourselves whether justice could be equally applied in america. i know, for so many people, today's decision does not answer that call. i know people are frustrated and they have a right to peacefully protest. but violence is never acceptable. and we can express pain. we can express grief and anger, disappointment, at the way things are. but remain focused on rebuilding trust in our communities, and delivering change that can be -- the change that can be. so we have all of this, as we saw a stunning moment, tonight, from the white house podi

this kentucky attorney general is a very smart person. he knows the problems he has on his hands in the next three or four days. and the more rational explanation he gives based on kentucky law, that better off everybody in louisville will be. >> to that point, it's going to be difficult to make these sort of public comments because of kentucky's law that really prohibit the attorney general from saying anything that could possibly in anyway's sway the case. do your point, he is very articulate and very well-liked. i do believe he is sincere with how gut wrenching this was for him. we may not be able to hear from him until the trial. that means pure speculation will take over. again, that ratchets up everything. how important is it that we get a speedy trial? how important is it that the public get as much information as possible about the grand jury process, what they actually went through to come up with this decision? >> grand jury secrecy is based on the theory that if they grand jury does not indict someone, then the fact that they w

and cal perry is joining us live from the streets of louisville, kentucky. cal, what is the situation there now? >> reporter: the streets are mostly clear, lawrence. i'll tell you it was just about 30 minutes before curfew that we got word that two police officers had been shot. we don't know their conditions. it happened about a mile from here we know. there were protesters in the area, but we don't have details on what happened and we don't have their conditions. once that happened and once word spread and this is a city that has been focussed on one story alone for 195 days, the streets really did clear. there was a little bit of violence before that, water bottles thrown at police, police using tear gas. all of this it seems as though the city was relatively well prepared for. there is a ring of steel in a ten block radius of dump trucks that prevented vehicles from coming in. it has not prevented some militias from showing force on the streets and it has not prevented those clashes and it has not prevented two officers from being shot. i want to tell yo

her family as well as supporters in kentucky. her family was paid 12 million dollars settlement in a civil suit. at this point the protests continue switching gears completely now that actually that's gonna wrap it up and. coming up tonight at 6 of course we'll continue to follow developments coming out of louisville, kentucky where you're looking at live

while there are six possible homicide charges under kentucky law, these are not applicable to the facts before us. and the gr that mattingly and cosgrove were justified in the return of deadly fire after having been fired upon by kenneth walker. let me state that again. according to kentucky law, the use of force by mattingly and cosgrove was justified to protect themselves. this justification bars us from pursuing breonna taylor's death. the truth is now before us, the facts have been examined and a grand jury comprised of our peers and fellow citizens has made a decision. justice is not often easy. it does not fit the mold of public opinion an does not conform to shifting standards. it answers only to the facts and to the law. with this in mind we must now ask ourselves, where do we go from here? we continue to prosecute the charges brought in this case as it now proceeds through the justice system and moves to trial. that is our responsibility. this will be done while the fbi continues its investigation into violations, potential violations of federal law. i know that not everyone wi

this common went of kentucky. i did it as a prosecutor and a defense attorney. so i know the law of self-defense in kentucky. i know you don't have the right to use the defense of self-defense when you injury or kill an innocent third party. what we know from sergeant mattingly's own testimony to the public integrity unit is that he saw that breonna taylor was unarmed. >> yes. >> his own testimony, he saw breonna taylor was unarmed. and then you made -- put a lot of attention on the bullet -- the fatal shot to breonna taylor being made by myles cosgrove. if he wasn't able to see breonna taylor to also see she was unarmed, he was firing just as recklessly as brett hanison. if he didn't see her, he didn't have target acquisition, he deserves to be charged right now. >> yeah. >> so don't tell us the grand jury made this determination if it was yours determination. answer that question head on. was it your office's decision or the grand jury's decision. release the transcript. >> i know we have a lot going on. i've be

also commenting on the afternoon's unrest in kentucky. chief white house correspondent john roberts joins us from the white house briefing room. >> good evening. we are expecting the president in the next few minutes and we are expecting him to comment on the charges in the breonna taylor case on the violence we are seeing gripping the streets of louisville. the president was asked about it earlier in the cabinet room but haven't been briefed enough to feel comfortable commenting. the president also expected to be asked this evening about his looming pick for the supreme court. earlier today the president pointed to his favorite bogeyman, mail-in voting come as a reason to quickly return the supreme court to its full strength. >> this is going to be one the great catastrophes in one of the great embarrassment in the history of our country. >> in the cabinet room with republican state attorneys general, president trump railing against mass unsolicited mail-in voting. insisting it's vitally important to have a full complement of justices at

they're armed because that is allowed in kentucky.re going to continue to watch that and watch how the pressure comes to bear because of these protests, but also really big names like oprah winfrey, who put breonna taylor on the cover of her magazine and other celebrities who are trying to use their celebrity for justice for breonna taylor and others who have not gotten it. thank you so much, ben jealous, appreciate your time and going through this case with us. and coming up, despite warnings from election officials, president trump is again urging his supporters to commit a federal crime by voting twice. details next. now, simparica trio simplifies protection. ticks and fleas? see ya! heartworm disease? no way! simparica trio is the first chewable that delivers all this protection. and simparica trio is demonstrated safe for puppies. it's simple: go with simparica trio. this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures; use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. protect him wi

of course, the kentucky attorney general, daniel cameron, has some decisions to make. the investigation is ongoing there. so we await that. if we get word from them, we'll add it to the show. rob, let's get your overall reaction to this. >> well, the reaction is, i find it very interesting at the beginning there was a female attorney for the family that talked a lot about, you know, the overhauling of the search warrants, talked about engaging police officers, living in the community. what struck me is there wasn't a lot of this incendiary rhetoric talking about defunding the police that we've seen from a lot of the blacks lives matters activists. the rhetoric and what was being said was very pragmatic. i remember someone said protect and reform the police force. this is a long way from defend and reimagine. so i think that is a very good step forward. no matter -- i don't know if there's two sides in this. i know there's some people that are very anti-police and police enforcement. there are people that are definitely, you know, on the side of the cops because they ha

and kentucky has no problem if we come to kentucky to go to the kentucky derby and watch some horsesun around behind each other. but don't come in there for a black woman who has been killed. or they're going to have the activist derby in louisville, just like the kentucky derby. because the value of that black woman's life means more to me than it is a horse. breonna taylor's mother, she spoke at our march just three weeks ago in washington. they have brought their plea to all of us, and we're going to respond. one of the ways we respond, and i hope we don't have violence because i don't want to see any of us become like what we're fighting. but we need to really understand that this prosecutor and mitch mcconnell are on the ballot in about six weeks right there in kentucky. and they need to put some of that energy toward voting and sending a message if, in the name of breonna, we retire mitch mcconnell asthma jorty leader, that's a step showing how serious we are. it's a step that we are serious about what we're doing. sz absolutely. mr. cameron should recall that the prosecutors i

>>a heartbreaking day for the family members of brianna taylor after a kentucky grand jury brought no charges against little police officers directly for her death. thank you for joining us tonight at 6 i'm ken wayne and i pale more that decision touched off protests just minutes after the announcement was made and tonight police there are confirming 2 police officers have been shot as the protests grow at this hour. we must say it's not clear if those shootings are connected to the protests, nonetheless 2 officers have been shot and a curfew is taking effect in louisville right now no word on the condition of those officers that kentucky governor has authorized a limited deployment of the national guard there. >>louisville police have wednesday evening's gathering tonight's gathering unlawful assembly. >>and ordered people to disperse as of now a large group is still out tonight news nations nichole berlie is in louisville with late breaking developments following the kentucky attorney general's announcement. >>after 6 months of investigating an announcement from kentucky's attorney

today the attorney general of kentucky daniel cameron confirmed that it is true.here is, he said, uncontested evidence from i witnessed that despite what blm has claimed for half a year, police were not in fact executing a no knock warrant on breonna taylor's apartment. watch. >> 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 the proximity to apartment number four. in other words, the warrant was not served as an no-knock warrant. >> tucker: so there you have it. the facts of the case, and we seen this before, are not what we were told that they were. because real life is always more complicated than political propaganda. there is no evidence of any kind that breonna taylor was murdered because she was black. that's a lie and it's like designs to divide the country and make the people telling them more powerful. instead it seems clear that taylor was shot accidentally because her boyfriend opened fire on the police

. >>> good afternoon i'm greg fisher, the mayor of louisville, kentucky thank you for joining us today on march 13th, 136 days ago, a tragedy beset our communities with the death of breonna taylor her death has ignited a movement in louisville and the nation for racial justice, sending thousands into our streets and cities all across the country and the world, all crying out for justice for breonna. while her death was a tragedy for so many, let's remember that breonna was first a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a niece, a girlfriend, a friend and a co-worker. for those who knew her, breonna's death is personal, the pain is visceral, and the loss evermore devastating tamika palmer, breonna's mom, says breonna was a quick student, a hard worker and old soul, and she was the glue of the family breonna was loved. i cannot begin to imagine ms. palmer's pain and deeply, deeply sorry for breonna's death. while we await a decision from attorney general daniel cameron on whether or not charges will be filed in this case, my administration is not waiting to move ahead with needed reforming

all this in the middle of the night in kentucky, shot in the home.sser offence because it went into the neighbours property. it‘s added more fuel to the widespread protests. two other officers at the scene were not charged because they were returning fire. they shot at them as they broke through the front door. two police officers have been shot. we understand their injuries are not a threat. 0ne was undergoing surgery until just recently. there‘s more on the bbc news website and on twitter. hello there. another autumnal—feeling day ahead for most of us. even in the sunshine, it‘ll be a cooler day than we‘ve become used to. we had plenty of showers, though, through the day yesterday. that was whitby in north yorkshire. plenty of sunshine, that said, for parts of northern ireland and scotland. and so, where we‘ve had the clear skies, the starry skies through the night, temperatures will start the day close to freezing in the glens. but across eastern england, we‘ve had a bout of heavy rain and strong winds. those are starting to clear out into the nor

opinions, yes, people outside of kentucky do have opinions. we have a country that has opinions, and that opinion focuses on accountability. so, let's talk about that briefly. we're talking about a grand jury. what's the significance of that? a grand jury, erin, doesn't determine proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. a grand jury assesses the evidence and establishes whether there's reasonable cause to believe there was a crime and that the officers in question committed it. that gives you a lot of leeway with respect as a grand jury to what you ultimately conclude, and you don't have to, by the way, be unanimous. why is all this relevant? we have often said that a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich. it depends what information they have. and there's contradictory evidence and information. what i'm concerned about is how the case was presented. what did they hear? what information were they given such that they drew the conclusion? so, yes, it's very concerning. i don't live in kentucky, right, the attorney general, but the person outsi

i want to bring in live the governor of kentucky, democrat andy beshear.ing the time with us this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> so the job of the system is to present evidence citizens choose whether to return an indictment. did the system work? >> well, all of us as we sit here today know what we've been told, but we haven't been able to see the information ourselves. i trust the people of kentucky and the people of america with the truth, and i think now especially since the attorney general has determined not to pursue certain charges, it's time to post all the information, all the facts, all the interviews, all the evidence, all the ballistics, to truly let people look at the information, and one of the problems we've had over the last six months is a total lack of explanation and information, and the vacuum that's created there, our emotions, frustrations can truly fill that. it's time for people to be able to see the basic information, facts and evidence, and to be able to come to their own conclusions about justice. i trust the people of kent

is that briana taylor she was shot 6 times and killed in a raid by police in louisville kentucky and now the warrior for her family has slammed the grand jury investigating this shooting calling the probe a sham a grand jury in kentucky recommended a minor felony charge against one of the 3 officers for shots that hit a neighboring apartment it did not recommend a murder charge for any of the officers the grand jury decision sparked protests in the u.s. a state of emergency was declared in louisville kentucky 2 police officers were shot and injured their own when state taylor's relatives and activists are calling for the 3 police officers who are all white to be charged with murder or manslaughter. correspondent stefan simons is in louisville kentucky tonight stefan we've got a nother story in the us about the police african-americans and accusations of an unfair justice system. yeah right and i can tell you the only thing subsiding here is the shock about the decision of the grand jury and the attorney general yesterday saying that. basically none of the 3 officers involved in the s

let's see what -- they're facing off with police in kentucky.n all of the shots that i've seen, it has been very peaceful. we're seeing some shoving back and forth at the moment. let us hope this remains peaceful. we are keeping a very close eye. as you can see, tempers, anger, outrage over the decision that was handed down by a grand jury and announced by the attorney general of kentucky in the death and killing of breonna taylor. >> wait, what? >> we're keeping an eye on these pictures. benjamin crump and the legal team representing breonna taylor's family, they just released a statement on the grand jury decision. and, look, it's a lengthy statement, but it is important to read in a moment, in full in a moment like this, important for everyone to hear as the nation is struggling. let me read it for you. this from benjamin crump and the legal team. this is outrageous and offensive to breonna taylor's memory. it's yet another example of no accountability for the genocide of persons of color by white police officers. with all we know about breon

you talked to kentucky's governor in the last hour.y general should release the transcripts of the grand jury proceedings and try to get some information about what they were learning in those proceedings. there's also just calls for more information from the fbi. how is their investigation going to turn out and then, of course, we know that investigation is ongoing with the louisville metro police department regarding all of the officers involved in this case. guys. >> bryn grirngias n gingras in thanks very much. >>> next is a civil rights activist who made a statement last month as she pushed for justice for breonna taylor. >> i gave birth to my two children here. i may die here, but you know. what i'm proud to say that i'm willing to die. >> joining us now is that woman, the president and ceo of the louisville urban league and watching that whole six minutes from you this morning, it was that last line that struck me so much. i mean, you said, like -- these issues are so serious i am willing to die for them. could you speak broadly

that feels like today black lives do not matter to our elected officials in louisville, kentucky, and apparently, in this country. amy: protests erupt across the country after no louisville police officers were charged for the death of breonna, who they shot dead in her own home. a grand jury indicted one officer for shooting into an adjacent apartment during the fatal no knock raid. >> according to kentucky law, the use of force by mattingly and cosgrove was justified to protect themselves. this justification mars has from pursuing criminal charges in his breonna taylor's debt. amy: we will go to louisville for the latest. then we speak to jacob blake, sr. his son was paralyzed last month after police in kenosha, wisconsin, shot him in the back seven times in front of three of his children. -- they shotsons my son seven times. seven times. like he did not matter.. but my son matters. amy: all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now, democracynow.o.org, the quarante report.. i'm amy y goodman. in louisville, kentucky, a grand jury has declined to charge any of the three whi

that is not available to you under kentucky law. and yet, again, he just -- they claim we're not going to go forward. i'm deciding as, you know, the ruler on high that they were justified. and i will guarantee you the grand jury never had an opportunity to charge them with a homicide. it was never presented to them. >> the attorney general also said your client kenneth walker fired the shot and there was no evidence to support mattingly was hit by friendly fire from the other officers. >> here is what i'll say. their ballistics investigation in the file indicates that the shot that hit mattingly is inconclusive whether it could came from kenny walker's gun. so when he says we're not going to charge officer hankison, that is exonerating hankison. it's inculpating walker. it's the exact same inconclusive conclusions and it is in the documents in front of them and what i said anderson a lot of things that contradict what attorney general daniel cameron said today release the report and the evidence in it and we'll see who is telling th
