The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has asked a federal judge to dismiss charges against two former police officers involved in the raid that resulted in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor, a black woman, in her home.
Former detective Joshua Jaynes and former sergeant Kyle Meany were alleged to have used false information to obtain a search warrant to enter Taylor’s home in March 2020.
Prosecutors asked the court to dismiss misdemeanour charges against the Louisville officers, which were initially more severe felony counts, but later downgraded by a judge.
In a post on social media, Taylor’s mother, Tamika Palmer, said she was extremely disappointed in US President Donald Trump and the DOJ.
The request comes just a week after the six-year anniversary of Taylor’s death.
‘the DOJ argued the case should be dismissed altogether “in the interest of justice”’ Sounds like justice denied to protect a couple of racist murderers.
Nazis gonna nazi.
