Breonna Taylor is dead, and the people need to know the details behind the decision to allow these officers to go unscathed, and the role Daniel Cameron played in shutting the doors of justice on the family of Breonna Taylor.

cameron, speaking at the 2020 RNC:
“Republicans will never turn a blind eye to unjust acts, but neither will we accept an all-out assault on Western civilization,” Cameron said, calling Black Lives Matter protesters “anarchists [who] mindlessly tear up American cities while attacking police and innocent bystanders.”

When Daniel Cameron ran for Kentucky attorney general, he received the endorsement of the Kentucky Fraternal Order of Police. The FOP is not a friend of Black people, supports Trump and for his “law and order” brutality against Black bodies, and has stood in the way of racial justice and law enforcement reform. Even Black police officers aren’t following the FOP.

More importantly, Daniel Cameron comes from the Mitch McConnell plantation. That’s Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, who has held up the John Lewis Voting Rights Act of 2020, and has spent so much time packing and stacking the federal courts with 40-year old white nationalists that he has no time to pass a coronavirus relief package.

Cameron was a McConnell Scholar at the University of Louisville, and he served as McConnell’s counsel in the Senate, ramming through the ultra-rightwing theocratic judges, including Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. Recently, Cameron urged the Senate to quickly confirm U.S. Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, who has a problematic record on Black people.
 
It's really very simple: he can't support justice for Breonna Taylor and expect to have any future as a Republican in that state.

If he wants to be held up as a "See! We're not racists!" mascot for the rest of his life, that's his choice too.

hammers that nail right on the head
 
The term "Uncle Tom" is used as a derogatory epithet for an excessively subservient person, particularly when that person perceives their own lower-class status based on race. It is similarly used to negatively describe a person who betrays their own group by participating in its oppression, whether or not they do so willingly.

his betrayal goes beyond the colour of a person's skin: he's betrayed the very notion of upholding justice for americans.
 
stinks to high heaven

I had to read your thread, because I was awoken in the middle of the night by an altercation between a skunk and a coyote.

I just closed all the windows to my house, but it still stinks to high heaven.

And yeah, so does Daniel Cameron's sell-out for his cheap moments of fame at the expense of justice.

Of course he did. When a city settles a multi-million lawsuit out of court to make it go away says a lot
 
It's terrible tragedy that Breonna lost her life in the crossfire, but the officers were serving a no-knock warrant. A witness says they did announce themselves and yet, her boyfriend still returned fire.

It was a very bad day for everyone involved.

"No, nobody identify themself," Aaron Sarpee told Louisville Metro Police investigators March 21, according to investigative documents obtained by The Courier Journal.

It wasn't until nearly two months later, when investigators circled back to Sarpee on May 15, that Taylor's neighbor said he heard officers knock and announce: "This is the cops."

It's easy to get caught up in the moment, but the witness realized they had to live with themselves once it was all over.
 
If you actually take the time to look closely at the details of the incident instead of the misleading bullshit, Breonna Taylor was not "unjustly" killed.
