Pop singer Beyonce is the latest voice to now join the chorus of folks demanding the arrests of the officers who quite literally killed Breonna Taylor in her sleep. In a letter to Kentucky ‘s Attorney General, Beyonce reiterated that three months has gone by already and no arrests have been made among the officers involved.
Further in the letter, B writes “the LMPD’s investigations have created more questions than answers. Their incident report states that Ms. Taylor suffered no injuries—yet we know she was shot at least eight times. The LMPD officers claim they announced themselves before forcing their way into Ms. Taylor’s apartment—but her boyfriend who was with her, as well as several neighbors, all say that this is untrue.”
“Don’t let this case fall into the pattern of no action after a terrible tragedy,” she writes. “With every death of a Black person at the hands of the police, there are two real tragedies: the death itself, and the inaction and delays that follow it. This is your chance to end that pattern. Take swift and decisive action in charging the officers. The next months cannot look like the last three.”
