Expect black lives matter to protest and riot after this:
KENTUCKY: "A federal judge declared a mistrial on Thursday afternoon after a jury deadlocked on civil rights charges against a former Louisville police officer who fired stray bullets in the raid that left Breonna Taylor dead. Brett Hankison was charged with using excessive force that violated the rights of Breonna Taylor, her boyfriend and her nextdoor neighbors. Hankison fired 10 shots into Taylor’s window and a glass door after officers came under fire during the flawed drug warrant search on 13 March 2020. Some of his shots flew into a neighboring apartment, but none of them struck anyone.
The judge reported that there were “elevated voices” coming from the jury room at times during deliberations this week, and court security officials had to visit the room. Jurors told the judge on Thursday they were deadlocked on both counts against Hankison, and could not come to a decision.
The mistrial could result in a retrial of Hankison, but that would be determined by federal prosecutors at a later date.
Hankison, 47, was acquitted by a Kentucky jury last year on wanton endangerment charges. State prosecutors had alleged he illegally put Taylor’s neighbors in danger. Months after his acquittal last year, the US Department of Justice brought the new charges against Hankison, along with a group of other officers involved in crafting the warrant.
The US attorney general, Merrick Garland, said Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman studying to be a nurse, “should be alive today” when he announced the federal charges in August 2022. The charges Hankison faced carried a maximum sentence of life in prison."
