Brianna Taylor killed by Kentucky Police

I HATE SEEING ANY BLACK WOMAN KILLED, PERIOD.  WHAT MAKES THIS EVEN WORSE IS THAT SHE WAS WORKING IN THE HEALTHCARE FIELD AND COULD VERY EASILY HAVE BEEN IN A POSITION TO, POTENTIALLY, HELP SAVE THE LIFE OF ONE OF THE OFFICERS THAT KILLED HER. BREANNA’S SPOUSE, AS A MAN PROTECTING HIS FAMILY, DID WHAT ANY REAL ONE WOULD DO WHEN HEARING AN INTRUDER ENTERING THEIR HOME WHILE THEY WERE ASLEEP AS THE POLICE FORCED THEIR WAY IN WEARING PLAIN CLOTHES AND WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES. WHAT MAKES THIS STORY EVEN MORE TRAGIC IS THAT WHEN KENNETH CALLED BREANNA’S MOM TO TELL HER THERE WAS A BREAK IN AND HER DAUGHTER WAS HURT SHE IMMEDIATELY ARRIVED AT THE SCENE ONLY TO HAVE THE POLICE MISDIRECT HER TO HOSPITAL. SHE WAS RUNNING BACK AND FORTH FROM THE HOME TO THE HOSPITAL FOR HOURS SEARCHING FOR HER DAUGHTER WHILE THEY BOUGHT TIME TO CONSPIRE A STORY THAT ATTEMPTED TO FRAME KENNETH AND BREANNA’S RELATIONSHIP, ASKING HER MOTHER IF THEY HAD ANY RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS.  ALL THE WHILE, HER DAUGHTER WAS IN THE APARTMENT DEAD.  TO CHARGE HIM WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER IS YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE SAME 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS AS THEIR WHITE COUNTERPARTS IN AMERICA TO LAWFULLY OWN A FIREARM AND “STAND THEIR GROUND” TO PROTECT THEIR PERSON AND PROPERTY.
