Brett Hankison, one of the three officers involved in the murder of Breonna Taylor, has been fired from the Louisville Police Department.
I caution you, however -- do not be satisfied with that. The mayor of Louisville thinks he can throw Brett Hankison to us as a sacrificial lamb, and that the scrutiny and criticism will stop. He's wrong.
Firing Brett Hankison is not enough. That man will likely receive his pension and retire comfortably. For a man that murdered an innocent woman, that does not seem like a punishment fit for the crime he committed.
The other two officers, Myles Cosgrove and John Mattingly, have been placed on "administrative leave." Again, not enough.
We want charges and arrests to be made immediately. Suspend the officers' pensions immediately. We want a special investigation by the Attorney General -- an investigation made transparent and clear to the public.
If Kentucky officials believe that firing Brett Hankison is justice, they're wrong. And to any Kentucky officials seeing this: the people of Kentucky see you. The American public sees you. And we will vote you out. You are complicit.
Justice for Breonna. Real Justice for Breonna. Brett Hankison being fired is just a CRUMB, a MORSEL, of what Breonna and her family deserve.
