A Year After Breonna Taylor‘s Killing, Family Says There‘s ‚No Accountability‘
The Louisville incident unfolded during a botched narcotics raid, when officers forced their way into her apartment in the early morning hours of March 13, 2020. Taylor was not the target of the raid and the suspect police were searching for was not at Taylor‘s home.
A year after Taylor‘s death, none of the officers who fired their service weapons — a total of 32 rounds — face criminal charges directly over Taylor‘s killing.

Trump wins Kentucky in presidential race
President Trump has been projected as the winner in Kentucky, according to The Associated Press.
„I think that there‘s a lot of covering up,“ says Lonita Baker, an attorney for Breonna Taylor‘s family, of the investigation into Taylor‘s death. „We‘re not giving up on state-level manslaughter or murder charges in the case… There‘s sufficient probable cause here.“
12 of Breonna Taylor‘s neighbors NEVER heard police announce themselves before breaking down her door. Did they get a voice at the Grand Jury proceedings? @KYOAG , if you have nothing to hide, release the transcripts so we know the FULL TRUTH of what was presented!

Breonna Taylor‘s family, lawyers blast Daniel Cameron over lack of charges in her death
Palmer‘s attorneys, Ben Crump, Lonita Baker and Sam Aguiar, specifically called on Cameron to release the grand jury transcript and recording to show what evidence and recommendations he presented.
„What we also want is for you to quit dodging the question. You were asked at the press conference (Wednesday): Did you make a recommendation“ to the grand jury, Baker asked. „You refused to answer. Answer the question: Did you even present any charges regarding Breonna Taylor to the grand jury?“
USC Law professor, students react to Breonna Taylor indictment
(24.09.2020)
Jasmine Caruthers is one of the two students helping Miller and said she had mixed emotions on the decision.
„Part of me was happy that the Taylor family was going to get compensated because they have been through so much. Another part of me was extremely sad because at the end of the day you can‘t put a price tag on someone‘s life,“ said Caruthers.
In all fairness, I was a mail-in voter this year. I had completed and sent in my ballot way before I ever saw any Booker ads. Had I seen the Booker ads before, I would have voted for Booker.

I still support McGrath no matter what though.

Saagar and Ryan Grim: How Schumer RIGGED Kentucky, Colorado primary against progressives
(01.07.2020)
Saagar Enjeti and Ryan Grim evaluate Amy McGrath‘s victory in the neck and neck Kentucky primary race against progressive challenger Charles Booker.
Just FYI: There’s a 6,000 vote discrepancy between the exit polls and final results in Booker vs McGrath. This is over the 4% which the UN identifies as possible election fraud. Just something to think about.

Amy McGrath Defeats Charles Booker in Kentucky Democratic Senate Primary
(30.06.2020)
Former Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath won a Democratic primary to become the nominee for the U.S. Senate from Kentucky, fending off a strong late challenge from a state legislator whose rise to prominence reflected the renewed energy of the progressive movement.
Ms. McGrath, who had the backing of the Democratic establishment, defeated state House lawmaker Charles Booker, according to Associated Press projections.
At this point: @Booker4KY won the Kentucky primary. The DNC is just trying to do for Amy McGrath what they did for Pete Buttigieg in Iowa.
Regardless of the official „outcome“, Booker fucking won. They‘ve spent the past 6 days just trying to fudge the numbers.

Protests Propel Charles Booker in Close Kentucky Senate Race Against Establishment-Backed Amy McGrath
“A lot of y’all have been yelling out Breonna’s name,” Booker said from the stage. “She hung out with my cousin T.J., and when he was murdered, she was there. And her death, her killing, felt like losing him all over again. And we stood up in the streets because we had no other choice.”
Kentucky voters weren’t meant to have a choice. Not long after Amy McGrath pulled off an upset victory in her House Democratic primary in May 2018, her phone rang. It was Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic minority leader, with more than just congratulations. No matter how the general election goes, Schumer told McGrath, we want you to be our candidate for Senate against Mitch McConnell in 2020, according to a McGrath 2018 campaign aide.
Sure it’s fraud. No one, no one wanted McGrath!
Sadly, I think the voting machines in Kentucky will keep spinning like Las Vegas slot machines until they produce the desired establishment result.

In Kentucky hatte es im Vorfeld der Vorwahlen Bedenken gegeben, da die Anzahl der Wahllokale drastisch reduziert worden war. Viele hatten befürchtet, es könnte deshalb am Wahltag zu Chaos kommen.

Kentucky Expo Center to be Jefferson County‘s only primary election site
(14.05.2020)
Officials with the County Clerk‘s office say, considering constraints because of COVID-19, and the fact that the county has 2,000 different types of ballots, the Fair and Expo Center was the obvious choice for the only polling location Jefferson county voters will have on Primary Day.
Nore Ghibaudy with the Jefferson County Clerk‘s Office said that they‘re still finalizing how to lay out the landmark and the National Guard will be asked to help.

Kentucky braces for possible voting problems in Tuesday’s primary amid signs of high turnout
State officials anticipate a higher turnout than in past presidential primary years, driven in part by a late surge by upstart Senate candidate state Rep. Charles Booker, who is challenging former Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath for the Democratic nomination to take on GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in the fall.
Things Are Not Going Well for Amy McGrath
McGrath faces a robust challenge from Charles Booker, the youngest Black legislator in the Kentucky House of Representatives. Booker has run to her left, and while McGrath holds a major fundraising advantage, Booker is gaining significant momentum ahead of the primary on June 23.
