Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who spoke at the Republican National Convention, declined to bring murder charges against the three white officers involved in the tragic shooting of Louisville's Breonna Taylor, a Black woman.
Contrary to the public assertion made by a Taylor family lawyer, Cameron, who is Black, said the Louisville police did not go to the wrong address when executing a search warrant. Nor was Taylor shot and killed in her bed, as also publicly asserted by the family lawyer. Ben Crump, a spokesman and defense attorney for the Taylor family, falsely claimed the police went to the wrong address. And in a statement full of inaccuracies, Crump, who negotiated a $12 million settlement with Louisville, said, "Taylor and her boyfriend were asleep in their apartment when Louisville Police burst into the home without warning using a battering ram, in search of a suspect who was already in their custody."
Cameron carefully, methodically and with sensitivity to the Taylor family reviewed the evidence and explained why the law and facts did not warrant murder charges, however massive the intensity of the public's passion for charges. Cameron said: "Evidence shows that officers both knocked and announced their presence at the apartment. The officers' statements about their announcement are corroborated by an independent witness who was near, in a proximity to Apartment 4. ... When officers were unable to get anyone to answer or open the door to apartment four, the decision was made to breach the door." A man inside the apartment fired, striking an officer, and the officers returned fire, killing Taylor.
The anger over Cameron's decision was fierce, ugly and personal. At a press conference arranged by the Taylor family attorney, Tamika Mallory, co-founder of the Women's March, said: "I thought about the ships that went into Fort Monroe and Jamestown with our people on them over 400 years ago and how there were also Black men on those ships that were responsible for bringing our people over here."
"Daniel Cameron is no different than the sellout Negroes that sold our people into slavery and helped white men to capture our people, to abuse them, and to traffic them while our women were raped, while our men were raped by savages."
Sophia A. Nelson, who often appears as a pundit on CNN, tweeted: "Uncle Tom. Step & fetch Negro. The end."
But perhaps the viciousness award goes to retired Los Angeles Police Department Sergeant Cheryl Dorsey, who said: "Let me say this as a Black woman: He does not speak for Black folks. He's skin-folk, but he is not kinfolk. And so just like he thinks they can't speak for Kentucky because he's up there with a Black face, he does not speak for all of us. This was not a tragedy. This was a murder. He should be ashamed of himself."
Cameron is also being attacked because he is not only a Black Republican but also a Black Republican who spoke passionately at the Republican National Convention in support of President Donald Trump. About the opposition to him because he is a Black Republican, Cameron once tweeted: "Yesterday, a liberal attorney said I should stop eating 'coon flakes' in a Courier Journal interview. I am a proud lifelong Republican, part of a diverse KY GOP ticket, and yes I support Donald Trump. It's time to stop telling black Americans what we're allowed to believe."
Women's March co-founder Mallory and Dorsey are exactly why I produced the documentary "Uncle Tom," which addresses the attacks against Black conservatives for the crime of thinking differently. The film, now available on iTunes, Amazon Prime and Roku, has received a 9.4 rating on IMDb and a 98 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Uncle Tom" asks simple questions: Are Blacks free to think for themselves? Black conservatives support low taxes, strong borders, choice in public schools. They want to reevaluate the welfare state on the grounds that it destabilizes the American family, no matter the race. Can a Black conservative advocate for school choice and debate its merit without being dismissed as a Black conservative "sellout" for supporting choice? Are Blacks allowed to hold conservative views without being eviscerated by the Mallorys and the Dorseys as self-loathers, coconuts, Oreos, "Uncle Toms" and other names unfit for family consumption?
The New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet, who is Black, once admitted, "The left, as a rule, does not want to hear thoughtful disagreement." Well, the Black left doesn't believe that there is such a thing called thoughtful disagreement -- at least not thoughtful disagreement with a Black conservative.
"Uncle Tom" does not tell viewers what to think. The film says Blacks are free to think for themselves. We would be happy to provide copies of "Uncle Tom" for Mallory and Dorsey.
Whoops...it’s already been used.
“Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who spoke at the Republican National Convention, declined to bring murder charges against the three white officers involved in the tragic shooting of Louisville’s Breonna Taylor, a Black woman.”
Incorrect. The Grand Jury declined to bring charges.
L
And just when do these “lawyers” get complaints filed against them and are required to defend their actions before the Ethical Practice Board? Or is this an example of black law professional privilege?
Never shoot at a cop.
Kenneth Walker, Breonna Taylor’s “boyfriend”, murdered her by putting her between himself and police in the crossfire. Whether or not he was using her as a human shield, you defend loved ones by putting them BEHIND you while “standing your ground”. Even Breonna’s former partners-in-crime accuse the boyfriend for firing on police when they didn’t that night and would not have.
Sounds like she was at least partially involved in the drug dealing.
The police have her phone,so should know.
The Blacks who are attacking Mr. Cameron ought to take a look in the mirror before they call anyone a “sellout”. These people belong to the party that enslaved them, held them back from advancing through segregation and Jim Crow laws, lynched them, and has them living in horrible social and economic conditions in America’s cities. People like Sophia Nelson and Cheryl Dorsey are the real Black sellouts and slaves. These Black Democrats never ever learn.
Ms Taylor was not innocent!!
She sure wasn’t
Yep. All they are doing is calling him an Uncle Tom. And that’s racist.
Question: If she was white, would she have been spared?
i.e. this isn’t even about race.
If Breonna Taylor was murdered, then she was murdered by the relationships she kept.
Those relationships set her on a course where she was cohabiting with a drug dealing boyfriend, often present when his drug deals were being made, present at a residence where the police had a warrant concerning that drug dealing, present there with associates seeking to avoid the police when they arrived, present when those associates opened fire at the police as they entered and present when the police returned fire. Had her associates been thinking of her instead of themselves, they would not have opened fire at the police.
If it was wrong that Breonna Taylor died that day, the wrongness, the error, was in a path she chose before that day. I am sure if she has now made peace with G-d, she would tell us that herself if she could.
The police were there because of her. They believed she was the bag lady based on her showing up at other places being staked out and the timing of her visits.
This whole story is based on falsehoods. This was a standard drug raid, and she would have been shot regardless of the color of her skin. Race has as much to do with this story as it has to do with a black man being pulled over for going 75 in a 60 zone. It’s about actions, not race.
Those that make this about race are racist.
If she was White, nobody outside of Louisville would have heard about this case.
When I was young, blacks were thought of as tough.
Now they’re the biggest whiny bitches on the planet.
Go move to Wakanda, f’ing simpletons.
HAHAHA! That was excellent! Well said!
Thanks. It made me feel better, and everything is about feelings now...
:)
“i.e. this isn’t even about race.”
The supposed goal of racial justice is a lie. The real purpose is to make it impossible to punish “people of color” regardless of what they do and many white people have fallen into the trap of mindlessly supporting such absurd racism or what many would call “reverse” racism. I do believe though that we have stretched this to the limit and a recoil is beginning.
