On Thursday, August 4, US prosecutors charged four Louisville and Kentucky police officers in the March 2020 'no-knock' raid killing of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician. The four Louisville Metro Police Department officers, Joshua Jaynes, Kyle Meany, Kelly Goodlett, and Brett Hankison, were charged with civil rights offenses, unlawful conspiracies, unconstitutional use of force, and obstruction.Only one officer involved in the raid, Brett Hankison, had previously been charged in Taylor's death. However, the two other officers involved were not immediately charged. It has now been confirmed that four officers were involved in the failed raid on Breonna Taylor's home, which resulted in her death. US Attorney Merrick Garland said in a report:"Breonna Taylor should be alive today... The Justice Department is committed to defending and protecting the civil rights of every person in this country. That was this department’s founding purpose, and it remains our urgent mission."Carrie Johnson@johnson_carrie"Breonna Taylor should be alive today," says Attorney General Merrick Garland in announcing federal charges against 4 current and former Louisville police officers.241633322"Breonna Taylor should be alive today," says Attorney General Merrick Garland in announcing federal charges against 4 current and former Louisville police officers.Taylor's death reignited the 2014 #SayHerName campaign, which brought to light black women's potentially lethal encounters with law enforcement and anti-Black violence.Exploring the 'no-knock' raid Louisville police conducted in Breonna Taylor's homeOn March 13, 2020, Louisville police were investigating alleged drug trafficking when they broke down Breonna Taylor's door as part of a "no-knock" raid. Her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, shot at the officers with a legally-owned firearm. However, the officers in turn fired 22 shots at the apartment, eventually fatally killing Taylor.According to prosecutors, Brett Hankison fired 10 shots at Taylor's apartment through a window and a glass door, which were covered with drapes. Meanwhile, the police officer told a Kentucky grand jury that he opened fire once the shooting began.

At that same vigil, Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, noted, via BBC:"It started off lonely, but it's so amazing to see so many people standing up for her, just saying her name."The #SayHerName campaign was created by legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw. The African American Policy Forum (AAPF) coined the hashtag #SayHerName in December 2014.Netizens reacted to the current developmentsPreviously, the fatal killing of Breonna Taylor and the other killings of 2020, including George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, had given rise to global protests.
