  1. I live in ROME and we had a protests for Breonna Taylor, saying her name loudly in a large packed piazza, as did people of all backgrounds in London, Paris, Lagos, Accra, Nairobi Amsterdam, London, Mexico City, Tokyo, Manilla etc. This outrageous lack of self reflection from this particular community 🙄displays perfectly what a bubble MOST wt law makers in America live in. Many are wt nationalist RACISTS, that don’t deserve to represent the myriad of American people. They only care about corporations and wt grievence politics. The other possibilitiy is that they knew her name and they were deliberately being dismissive and condescending. Either explanation reflects poorly on their lack of humanity which should disqualify them from their positions..👆🏾

    1. @Mj light What explanation? They recklessly fired.

      “Interim Police Chief Robert Schroeder fired Hankison in June for his actions at Taylor’s apartment.

      Schroeder wrote in a letter to Hankison that he showed “extreme indifference to the value of human life” and his use of deadly force was improper because he failed to verify it was directed against someone who posed an immediate threat. 

      Schroeder accused Hankison of “blindly” firing 10 rounds into Taylor’s apartment and the one next door”

      “One of the Louisville officers connected to the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor is being charged with three counts of wanton endangerment, a Jefferson County grand jury decided”

    2. You’re that person that takes a selfie with plywood pretending to be an activist. Less Kim Kardashian wannabes & more Candace Owens please. Cringe worthy hypocrisy.

    1. @Pedto Gonzalez They lied to get the warrant. No drugs or weapons found.

      “A Louisville police detective accused of providing false information to get a search warrant for Breonna Taylor’s home told investigators he didn’t intentionally mislead a judge but acknowledged he could have worded the affidavit “differently.”

      But an investigator with the police department’s Public Integrity Unit drew a different conclusion after interviewing the officer who applied for the search warrant, Detective Joshua Jaynes”

      “Jaynes acknowledged that he did not personally obtain information from a U.S. postal inspector, as he indicated in the search warrant”

    1. Mary, Guess what its not evil to not know who Breonna Taylor is some people don’t watch news or play on the computer! Did you know other people are also named Breonna Taylor, that doesn’t mean they were named that before she was killed to mock her!

    2. @Pedro Dudeson only that barnie fif dropping the gun and spraying a whole apt building or blindly firing not even hitting intended target and this is exactly what happens when the Poe lease can’t shoot and blindly shooting is not a good policy bc next time it will be kids getting hit and I get and have respect for police but it’s bad policy and will continue and end much worse next time

    3. @Oden Moore Maybe. Even with non lethal bean bags they spin the story or a police misuses them. Some stories should be left between those involved, victims families, the court for these reasons. Imo.

    1. I live in a red state and elevated some of our activists to city and state government, they will be badgered and bullied, but you have to continue to lift them. That’s how you get a Corri Bush.

    1. ‘Tackling these issues’. C’mon over freedom fighter. Everyone thinks they’re Pheonix Jones bc they heard something that one time about something. SMH. What country btw?

  2. Cori I know for sure that they know her name, they are just racist animals, and now that you have reach their domain, they are fustrated and this is how they show it. God bless you and all the people that voted for you, don’t let anything stop you, we love you !!!

  3. With how little even MSNBC covered the Breonna Taylor protests after they first started, I’m not surprised the Republicans have no idea who she is. If all they watched is FOX news they probably never heard of her.

  4. 99% of the “leaders” in our government are clearly not qualified to run for public office & should be legally barred from doing so. All the more reason for a revolution. We need this woman to fire us up from DC, by telling us just exactly how far gone these ppl are & how ignorant they can be.

    1. There’s a reason the Dems almost lost the House when they were predicted to gain 30 seats. Perhaps you should try to explain that. Thanks.

    2. @Clover kid AOC is highly educated and very intelligent. You may not agree with her, but that neither makes her uneducated nor stupid. She didn’t get to where she is by being a stupid bigot. What is your excuse?

  5. I’m guessing they are like the new senator who can’t accurately name the three branches of government and doesn’t know that Hitler was a fascist.

    1. @kyle grant He claimed many things but his behavior and actions made him a fascist, regardless of his self description.

    2. Ocasio-Cortez said that electoral success will not come easily, but we need to “make sure we take back all three chambers of Congress — rather all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate and the House in 2020,  we can’t start working in 2020.”

    3. Hitler was not a fascist fascism was done in fascist Italy the Germans where national socialist looks like the only one who does not know what hitler was is you learn2history

    1. You do realize that if breonnas boyfriend didn’t shoot at the cops she still be alive today 💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸

    2. Bc theres more than just that case along with several others along with their jobs. That would be like you expecting an average citizen to know every person in government.

  6. They lied to get the warrant. Found nothing

    “A Louisville police detective accused of providing false information to get a search warrant for Breonna Taylor’s home told investigators he didn’t intentionally mislead a judge but acknowledged he could have worded the affidavit “differently.”

    But an investigator with the police department’s Public Integrity Unit drew a different conclusion after interviewing the officer who applied for the search warrant, Detective Joshua Jaynes”
