The singer made three demands in her letter to Attorney General Daniel Cameron: that criminal charges be brought against the officers involved in the killing, that he would commit to transparency in the investigation and subsequent prosecution of the officers and that he would investigate LMPD’s response to what she called “Breonna Taylor’s murder” and the “pervasive practices that result in repeated deaths of unarmed Black citizens.
Beyoncé also questioned what she said were inconsistencies in the LMPD’s accounts of the night police killed Taylor. “Their incident report states that Ms. Taylor suffered no injuries, yet we know she was shot at least eight times,” Beyonce wrote. “The LMPD officers claim they announced themselves before forcing their way into Ms. Taylor’s apartment — but her boyfriend who was with her, as well as several neighbors, all say this is untrue.”
Taylor’s killing has gained increased attention around the country in recent weeks, as her community in Kentucky and protesters across the country demand action be taken against the officers responsible for her death. The three officers are still employed by the LMPD.which bans the city's police department from using no-knock warrants and requires the use of officer body cameras whenever a warrant is served.
“Take swift and decisive action in charging the officers,” she wrote. “The next months cannot look like the last three.”
Beyonce couldn't find Kentucky on a map. with the word 'Kentucky' on Kentucky.
male_taurean Yes!!!

JenMaxfield4NY When will everyone be back on set, abc news are on set
Another Hollywood opinion! They are like assholes everybody has one!
Only in Chicago does the county prosecutor bow to pressure from celebrities.
12News Demands?
Who's Beyonce?
Americans, well, you put all the police in prison, and replace them with black people from prisons, who are undoubtedly sitting there because of police brutality
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Objection: relevance.
Christ people. No Beyonce is not a Queen. No she doesn't have to do this but she did and there is literally no harm in her doing this. She has a loud voice and is trying to do something good with it. I'm sure none of you ever speak up about anything you feel is unjust.
There is no crime so trivial, that police won’t break into an innocent person’s home and murder them.
CC Their Senator as well.
And if that doesn’t work I’m sure some shit will get destroyed
The shift is happening. Inaction and hoping this movement just fades away will not happen this time. Good for her. It’s appalling these cops are still roaming free.
Well damn, anything else she need?
The Kentucky AG probably can’t read sooooo...
How have they NOT been charged?!?
And we should all listen to what Beyoncé says since when does she have any say-so about the law WTF
Does this ho really believe she's a queen now?
We need KimKardashian on this please lol. But for real...
That will do it. ✋
