Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has released a statement following the grand jury decision not to charge the Louisville officers with killing Breonna Taylor, saying that he knows that for so many people, the decision"does not answer" the call for equal justice. "Breonna Taylor was a beloved daughter, member of her community, and an essential worker who served as an EMT as Covid-19 began to spread. But she died, shot in her own home by the police. In the wake of her tragic death, we mourn with her mother, family, and community and ask ourselves whether justice could be equally applied in America," he said."I know for so many people today’s decision does not answer that call.
He added that the federal investigation remains ongoing, but in order to address the injustice,"we need to start by addressing the use of excessive force, banning choke holds, and overhauling no-knock warrants." Biden once again warned that violence is"never acceptable" but notes that people have a right to peacefully protest.
