Some pretty dark stuff was uncovered when reviewing the indictment of the officers in the Breonna Taylor case. 🧵
1. Joshua Jaynes & Kyle Meany applied for a search warrant, under the penalty of perjury. In that SW they made three false allegations (a) Breonna Taylor’s ex boyfriend was receiving packages to her home (b) he lived in her residence and (c) the post office confirmed this
2. They allegedly did these things with the knowledge that the execution of the no knock warrant could cause to danger Taylor, the officers and third parties.
3. When confronted with an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the warrant in the wake of Taylor’s death, Meany and Jaynes attempted to cover it up by asking other officers to say that they told the officers this false information
4. In fact, these officers had been told affirmatively that Taylor’s ex boyfriend did Not live there and was not receiving packages there. Meany and Jaynes wrote an Investigative Letter restating the falsehoods anyway.
5. Then Jaynes met up with another officer in his garage to discuss how they needed to get their stories straight about the lies that were put in the warrant affidavit. There are allegations that this convo was recorded
6. Then Jaynes and Meany allegedly lied to the FBI about the lies in the SW affidavit and the subsequent coverup. Telling the FBI that they’d heard that the BF got packages delivered to Taylor’s home, knowing this was false.
7. Officer Brett Hankerson was indicted for deprivation of the rights of Breonna Taylor, her BF and the neighbors in the apartment complex. After plain clothes officers entered Taylor’s home in the middle of the night, her boyfriend shot once, hitting an officer…
Officers then shot back, from inside the apartment. Hankerson EXITED THE APARTMENT and began to shoot into the glass door that was covered with blinds. Allegedly, Hankerson shot towards other officers and into the apartments of the neighbors. Shooting blindly in the night.
8. The murder of Breonna Taylor was horrific, but the coverup is the most angering. How much of Daniel Cameron’s refusal to properly investigate this case has perpetuated the continued injustice to Breonna Taylor? I don’t think we will ever know. Fin
