On May 11th, 2020, 27 year old EMT Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend were at their apartment in Louisville Kentucky, when police, doing a no-knock-no-announce raid, stormed in and blindly fired more than 20 shots, killing her. Her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, returned fire, thinking they were intruders. The police were searching for two drug suspects who were already in police custody, who lived more than 10 miles away from Taylor's house. Kenneth Walker was charged with first degree assault and attempted murder, while the cops were placed on paid leave. Walker's case was brough to a grand jury, but after protests erupted, he was released by the judge, and the district attorney moved to dismiss all charges against him. As of Septemeber 2020, the only charge brought, was against one officer, none of whose bullets killed Breonna Taylor, but for "wanton endangerment", since he fired shots into the walls of other apartments. The other officers who murdered Breonna Taylor went free, and the nation erupted in protests.
