    "DOJ ASKS JUDGE TO DROP CHARGES AGAINST TWO COPS INVOLVED IN BREONNA TAYLOR’S KILLING

    The men were not present at the fatal raid but have been accused of covering up how it happened.

    The Department of Justice wants a federal judge to drop the remaining charges against two police officers who were involved in the fatal raid that left Breonna Taylor dead in 2020, The New York Times reports. Harmeet K. Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, signed the motion, filed in the Western District of Kentucky on Friday asking for leniency for former Sgt. Kyle Meany and former Detective Joshua Jaynes, neither of whom were present at the raid. CBS News reports that the dismissal request was 'with prejudice,' which means it could be revived later.

    Meany was charged with making false statements during an FBI interview. Jaynes had been charged with conspiracy and falsifying records. The DOJ previously alleged that the men deprived Taylor of her right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizure, according to CBS News.

    Dhillon’s motion said that the DOJ believes the charges should be dropped 'in the interest of justice' as it now views the charges as 'weaponized federal outreach' by the Biden administration, per The New York Times. Merrick Garland, who was attorney general in the Biden years, had charged Meany and Jaynes along with other members of the Louisville Metro Police for setting up the course of action that led to Taylor’s death, as part of a ham-fisted search for a drug dealer."

    "Federal judge dismisses Louisville police reform agreement spurred by Breonna Taylor’s death

    LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A federal judge in Kentucky has dismissed Louisville’s proposed settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice over police reforms after the department withdrew its support of the plan earlier this year.

    The Justice Department announced in May it was canceling proposed consent decrees with Louisville and Minneapolis that sought to curb police racial bias and abuses after the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor that spurred nationwide protests in the summer of 2020.

    U.S. District Judge Benjamin Beaton wrote in a Dec. 31 ruling that 'the responsibility to lead the Louisville Metro Police Department in compliance with federal law must remain with the city’s elected representatives and the people they serve.'

    A judge in May dismissed Minneapolis’ proposed consent decree, which places a federal officer in charge of tracking the progress of reforms laid out in the agreement."

  5. A federal judge Monday sentenced a fmr #Louisville, #Kentucky #police officer to nearly 3 yrs in #prison for using #ExcessiveForce during the deadly #BreonnaTaylor raid 5 yrs ago, rebuffing a #Trump #DOJ recommendation of no prison time.
    Brett Hankison, who fired 10 shots during the raid but didn’t hit anyone, was the only officer charged in the Black woman’s death in 2020. He is the 1st person sentenced to prison in the case.

  6. Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice recommended that a former police detective convicted of excessive force in the case of Breonna Taylor should serve a single day in prison. The judge in the case disagreed, and today sentenced former Louisville Metro Police Department detective Brett Hankison to 33 months in jail. Here's more from NBC.

    Wegen Schüssen auf die schwarze US-Amerikanerin Breonna Taylor droht einem verurteilten Polizisten lebenslange Haft. Doch das US-Justizministerium fordert nur einen Tag.

  8. More evidence of Trump's racist DOJ policies.

    Trump’s DOJ is recommending just one day in jail for the ex-Louisville detective convicted of violating Breonna Taylor’s civil rights—despite criticism from many who say this token punishment ignores her tragic death and signals a retreat from broader police reforms. While the officer didn’t fire the fatal shots, the raid remains a flashpoint in policing and racial justice debates. Will this shift end meaningful accountability, or is it just another turn in an ongoing fight?

    "DOJ seeks one-day sentence for officer in raid that killed Breonna Taylor

    In November, a federal jury found officer Brett Hankison guilty of violating Taylor’s civil rights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot.

    The Justice Department requested that a Louisville police officer convicted in connection with a raid that resulted in Breonna Taylor’s death serve one day in prison.

    The federal government suggested in an unusual sentencing memo late Wednesday night to a judge that the Biden administration should not have prosecuted the officer on the civil rights charges on which he was convicted.
    Breaking with standard protocol, the memo was not signed by any career prosecutors but by Robert J. Keenan, a senior counsel to the civil rights division who was not part of the original prosecution team, and Harmeet Dhillon, the head of the division who was appointed under the Trump administration.

    In November, a federal jury found Brett Hankison, the Louisville police officer, guilty of violating Taylor’s civil rights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot, becoming the first officer directly involved in the case to be convicted on criminal charges.
    Hankison faces a maximum sentence of life in prison, and a judge will consider the government’s request and determine a sentence."

  14. White Riots VS Black Protests • BRAVE NEW FILMS

    Ever notice how the mainstream media treats [Black] protesters & white rioters differently?

    ...Using the term "thug" to describe Black People, but "students" or "drunk people" when describing whites, shows that "thug" is the new, coded way of saying the n-word. STOP SAYING IT!

  15. Five years after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a cracker murderpig named Derek Chauvin, it's easy to look at police murder and use of force statistics, as well as a white nationalist Trump regime, and conclude the 2020 uprising failed; which is precisely what a pro-cop liberal "reformist" chatterati is doing. The reality is however that "a system cannot fail those it was never designed to protect" and the lack of legislative progress to protect our civil rights from police abuses falls on the elected reformers not advocates and abolitionists in the streets. The 2020 Uprising taught us to band together because we are all targets in for the carceral state in the right circumstances; and just in time too, because Donald Trump is dead serious about transforming law enforcement into his own fascist army.

    The Widening Maw of Racialized Police Violence

    "The reality is that Downmarket Mussolini has only been back in the White House for four and a half months, and these police killing statistics go back years into a Biden administration that was elected in part, to specifically stop racialized police violence in response to the protests; the city where George Floyd was slowly murdered on camera by a sociopathic cop is in a Democratic-controlled State, run by one of the most progressive Governors in America. For a larger liberal establishment in the United States that had no answer for Trump at the ballot box to point at the Kelpto Kaiser’s racist authoritarian regime and declare the movement against police violence and white supremacist policing has failed, is one part deflection, and one part scapegoating. It is ultimately reductive to argue that the 2020 George Floyd protests were by themselves responsible for the broader fascist “white-lash” driving Trump’s second rise to power in an already white supremacist America, and disempowering to believe organized resistance against that white supremacy accomplished nothing merely because a state that was never designed to protect racialized people, or the labor class in general, refused to take meaningful action against police violence. Those hard-fought hours in the streets opened a broad swathe of society’s eyes to the racist and violent nature of American policing, taught communities across the globe how to organize in the face of state-sanctioned repression, and helped make so many young people “woke” that the fascist Trump regime is trying to make “wokeness” illegal. We cannot un-see what we have observed, or unknow what we learned during the uprising, and the affliction of knowing cannot be cured with rubber bullets and tear gas."
