4 Kentucky police officers face federal charges in Breonna Taylor killing

The U.S. Justice Department has charged four Kentucky police officers involved in the deadly raid that killed Breonna Taylor with civil rights violations. The fatal shooting of Taylor, a Black 26-year-old medical worker, helped fuel the racial justice protests that rocked the United States in 2020.

It was a muffled thud that seemed to be coming from somewhere deep inside them. ❤They didn't know what to make of it at first, but then they realized that it was like hearing their own pulse—it wasn't loud or clear or even particularly distinct from other sounds around them, but there was an undeniable edge to it that made them feel as though there was something happening inside their bodies that wasn't supposed to happen yet. It was kind of exciting! They had never felt like this before—like something inside them had been awakened by some new experience or knowledge or emotion. It felt… new.
