This will be my little blog of the hectic life I've lived, the adventurous one I currently live, and all the fun things I do, and the new experiences I obtain, and hopefully what little joy I can find left in this world... I have had a very very very hard couple of years, and it's been a real struggle to make it this far, and in grateful for every breath I do get, even if every moment is filled with pain. I've been beaten down, hurt in the deepest levels of hurt, and I've had all I love ripped from my grasps, despite fighting and giving it my all... With every breath and every step, I work towards making a better man out of myself. I've changed my every way of life to develop into the man I hope to be. I've gone from ball caps to cowboy hats, from cities to ranches and forests, from chef to cowboy. Hopefully you tag along and get to enjoy what I have to share.

President Donald Trump’s Justice Department wants the cop convicted of violating Breonna Taylor ’s civil rights to serve just one day in jai

Alix Samuels at Daily Kos:

President Donald Trump’s Justice Department wants the cop convicted of violating Breonna Taylor’s civil rights to serve just one day in jail—and suggests he never should’ve been prosecuted in the first place. The DOJ made the surprising request late Wednesday night, asking a judge to sentence Brett Hankison—the only officer convicted so far on criminal charges related to the deadly 2020 raid on Taylor’s apartment—to a single day behind bars, which would count as time served. The department also recommended three years of supervised release and used the memo to argue that Hankison never should have faced civil rights charges in the first place. The request wasn’t just unusually lenient—it was blatantly political. It wasn’t signed by the career prosecutors who handled the case, but by Trump appointee Harmeet Dhillon, who now heads the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, and her senior counsel, Robert Keenan. Neither had a role in prosecuting Hankison.

Hankison, a former Louisville officer, was found guilty last year after firing 10 shots through a covered window and glass door during a botched “no-knock” raid, endangering Taylor and her neighbors. None of the bullets hit Taylor, but several tore through the apartment’s walls and into the unit next door. Taylor was fatally shot by another officer after her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired a warning shot with a legally owned firearm. Taylor’s killing happened just weeks before the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and became a key moment for the Black Lives Matter movement—one of several cases that sparked nationwide protests against police violence. Before Hankison’s conviction, the only person held criminally responsible in the raid was Kelly Goodlett, a former detective who pleaded guilty to federal charges for helping falsify the search warrant used to enter Taylor’s home and cover up her actions after Taylor’s death.

If Hankison gets a lenient sentence, it could reignite anger among activists who say the justice system protects police officers from consequences. His federal conviction was the first time any officer had been held criminally responsible in Taylor’s death. He faces up to life in prison, with sentencing scheduled for Monday. But the DOJ’s new filing insists Hankison “did not shoot Ms. Taylor and is not otherwise responsible for her death.” The memo notes that the Justice Department respects the jury’s verdict, but questions whether the case should’ve gone forward at all, stating: “Counsel is unaware of another prosecution in which a police officer has been charged with depriving the rights of another person under the Fourth Amendment for returning fire and not injuring anyone.”

The Trump Regime’s DOJ Civil Rights Division, led by Harmeet Dhillon, wants to make a mockery of Black Lives Matter by asking a judge give Brett Hankison a one-day sentence for violating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor.

I'm going to scream. They really said "we broke into your apartment, killed your girlfriend and bc you shot at us in self defense, we're suing you."

Meanwhile you have old white men talking about how they'll shoot anyone who steps anywhere near their property and it's alright. It's fine if white man threatens to shoot anyone who pisses him off. But if a black person tries to use a gun in self defense, suddenly having a gun will get you in trouble?

Reminder: Kenneth Walker was Breonna's boyfriend. Jonathan Mattingly is the cop that was suing Walker.

We want to thank everyone again for their words, donations, and support. The charges have officially been dropped but without prejudice. The district attorney's' office has stated that if, after further review, he believes that there is sufficient evidence to go back to a grand jury, prosecutors will do so. So the fight for justice for Bre and for Tre is not over. Please continue to support by visiting standwithbre.com to sign the petition and for additional steps to take to ensure that those responsible for her death, are held responsible. Continue to pray for our families, as we are still grieving the loss of Bre, who was taken away entirely too soon. God Bless.

Today, Breonna's law was passed. This is a step in the right direction. Next one is to hold people responsible for her death and arrest her murderers and everyone involved in the attempt at cover-up.

I had legitimate tears in my eyes reading what Kenneth, her boyfriend, had to to through after Breonna's murder. That man was being framed for something he didn't do, all after losing his most important person.

It was that easy to jail and charge him on false claims. Why are her murderers still walking free and an innocent man spent time in jail because of a false testimony?

That's time in his life he will never get back, but you know what he'll also never get back and that's also directly on the police? Breonna. And most importantly, Breonna had her life taken from her over a police "mistake". It's time to see the culprits punished.

Breonna Taylor deserves justice.
