On March 13, three members of the Louisville Metro Police Department burst into the 26-year-old’s apartment at 12:40 a.m. as a part of a drug investigation. Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, believed someone was breaking in and fired his legal firearm one time. Police returned fire, and Taylor was shot eight times. She died on her hallway floor.
While none of the officers involved in Taylor’s killing have been arrested, Walker was. He was charged with attempted murder. Last Tuesday, more than ten weeks after Taylor was shot and after the case began to receive national attention, the charges were dropped. Officers Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove, meanwhile, remain on administrative leave pending the results of an investigation.

“There’s no reason why someone should break into your home unannounced and come in and shoot you and kill you,” says Ashley, a 30-year-old Louisville native who declined to give her last name. She held a sign at Sunday’s rally that read “The world needs good cops, not good old boys.” Her negative experience with the police department in this highly segregated city goes back to her teenage years.
“LMPD has always been aggressive,” she said. “I remember being 17 and me and my friends were sitting out on the porch and the police officer telling my friend, ‘I shoot little black boys in the back like you all the time.’”
Imagine if your internet right now was SEVERAL TIMES FASTER.
Also the Liberal NBN was designed to be far cheaper, but with constant delays and installation issues its budget blew out and is now costing nearly twice it was initially meant to.
The Liberal government cut corners, gave us inferior technology, now it’s costing so much it didn’t save any money, and it doesn’t even fucking work properly, and it’s going to have to be replaced anyway with Labor’s superior NBN plan one day. We just spent 7 years and counting pissing money down a hole on a pointless infrastructure upgrade that doesn’t even deliver what it should.
It’s amazing that the Liberals really do manage to fuck up so many different facets of people’s lives. They’re very thorough and fucking up people’s lives and doing a bad job in every way imaginable.
Isn’t it weird how the “socialist hellhole” is the most free and democratic country in the world. We need #DemocraticSocialism and M4A vote for Sanders!
Americas “Healthcare” is the joke of the world.
