China News Agency, Houston, September 23. A large jury in Kentucky announced on the 23rd that out of the three white police officers suspected of shooting the black American woman Taylor, two of the policemen had taken legitimate enforcement actions and will not be prosecuted. A policeman was charged with three misdemeanors for shooting blindly.

The ruling triggered riots in the city of Louisville that day.

  In March of this year, the three police officers forcibly broke into Taylor's home during an anti-drug operation. The 26-year-old Taylor was shot and killed.

  According to the Associated Press, Taylor’s murder case opened on the 23rd in Jefferson County, Kentucky.

The state’s Attorney General Cameron announced the decision of the trial at a press conference that day: Not to prosecute police Martinley and Cosgrove, only Hankson was sued for blindly shooting at a neighboring apartment. Level of misdemeanor of wanton harm.

Kremp, a lawyer for Taylor’s family, challenged the judiciary’s statement and called the ruling "shameless and rude."

  According to Reuters, the black woman Taylor is an emergency medical worker in Louisville.

Cameron said that the results of the investigation showed that at the time of the incident, Taylor's boyfriend fired a shot at the policeman Martin Lee who entered the apartment first, and injured his thigh.

After that, the police shot back.

Martinly and Cosgrove fired six shots at Taylor, and Cosgrove fired a fatal shot.

Hankson fired ten shots, and some bullets hit the neighboring apartment.

  Cameron said that because Taylor's boyfriend shot first, the police's response was a legitimate defense.

  In June of this year, Martinly and Cosgrove accepted an internal transfer from the Louisville Police Department.

Its lawyer Wick said in a statement that the two police officers performed their duties as law enforcement officers and did not violate the law.

  Hankson was fired from the police station.

The dismissal letter stated that the policeman "arbitrarily and blindly" fired ten shots, violated the procedure, and showed "extreme disregard for the value of life."

  At present, the FBI is still investigating whether the police involved violated federal laws.

  It is worth noting that the law enforcement officers did not find drugs in Taylor's house on the night of the incident.

In addition, the Louisville city government reached an agreement with Taylor's family last week, the city government will give him 12 million US dollars in compensation, and promised to reform the police system to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.

  According to the "Washington Post" report, like the murder of Freud in the United States, since May this year, the murder of Taylor has also set off a nationwide demonstration against racism and police brutality.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in downtown Louisville, chanting "No justice, no peace!" Some protesters clashed with the police and some were arrested.

  The City of Louisville announced a 72-hour curfew from 9pm on the 23rd.

The governor of Kentucky authorized the deployment of the state’s National Guard to help ensure people’s safety and protect public infrastructure.

  In addition, the governor of Kentucky and the mayor of Louisville called on the judiciary to disclose all evidence in the case so that the public can better understand the results of the investigation.
