A Kentucky grand jury chose not to file murder charges Wednesday against any of the police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor during a drug raid on her home in Louisville, Kentucky. A single officer was charged with wanton endangerment for firing into neighboring apartments.
The grand jury’s decision outraged protesters, who had called for murder charges and made Taylor the center of the #SayHerName campaign highlighting police brutality against women. Demonstrators in several U.S. cities began taking to the streets after the announcement.
