Breonna Taylor's mother calls BLM Louisville a "fraud" that exploited her daughter's death

Tamika Palmer, the mother of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor, said in a private Facebook post that the Black Lives Matter organization is a "fraud" that exploited the shooting death of her daughter. Ms. Taylor was killed last year when plainclothes cops executed a no-knock warrant on her Louisville, Kentucky home.

Ms. Palmer posted the following, although some of it is hard to understand:

I think it’s crazy when people say they’ve been here since day 1, let me be clear Christopher 2x, The Montgomery family (Angie, Cheri, TiJuan & Craig) is the one and only day one’s not to mention Breonna’s friends and family but they’ve never needed Recognition immediately following is Until Freedom… I have never personally dealt with BLM Louisville and personally have found them to be fraud, Attica Scott another fraud, Then There’s the people at injustice Square a.k.a. BREEWAYY who has been 100 and held it down but that doesn’t go to say everyone down there but they know who they are & also never needed recognition…I could walk in a room full of people who claim to be here for Breonna’s family who don’t even know who I am, I’ve watched y’all raise money on behalf of Breonna’s family who has never done a damn thing for us nor have we needed it or asked so Talk about fraud. It’s amazing how many people have lost focus Smdh. I’m a say this before I go I’m so sick of some of y’all and I was last anybody who needs it I’m with this shit enough is enough[.]

Tamika Mallory, one of BLM’s co-founders and overt anti-Semite replied to the Facebook post, defending her Marxist organization:

It really saddens me that you have to deal with all of this and I wish I could just ignore all the lies and slander. What I know is that history will record what is written and said about our efforts and we must ALL be careful and truthful. When people say Until Freedom cheated people, that hurts. We sacrificed a lot just like everyone else. Our families have suffered as a result of our time there. And we didn’t take anything from anyone. WE GAVE AND GAVE AND GAVE AND GAVE AND GAVE. Because it was the the [sic] right thing to do and because we know we had the privilege of visibility which afforded us resources. And we continue to give to this day. So I cannot sit back and allow the work of my team and all those who traveled back and forth from around the country to support our work to be slandered. Not by people who know better…those who lie to make themselves look like they did things they did not do. It is our job to protect the integrity of our work and our organization. And we will do that.

Aside from what I just stated, the other truth is we are just tired of the bs. We have done the Michelle Obama “go high” thing. That doesn’t work all the times. So now if you swing and lie, we’re swinging back. I don’t care if people say we’re ugly, dumb, wack…that’s all cool. But you won’t get away with lying on our work.

I wish the left would list all of their people who actually did "go high" when it came to the opposition of the right.

The city of Louisville agreed to a $12 million settlement with Taylor’s family. Part of that settlement included “requiring a supervisor to sign off on search warrants and pairing a social worker with a police officer on some calls,” according to a report by The Daily Wire. 

The former Louisville police officer indicted for Taylor’s murder, Sgt. Brett Hankison, faces three counts of “wanton endangerment in the first degree.” It is a Class D felony and carries a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison. Bail was set at $15,000.

Violence is busting out all over [the West Coast]

Major cities on the West Coast are experiencing riots mixed with protests Saturday night to honor the memory of Breonna Taylor, a Black woman shot in a police raid in Louisville, Kentucky, which is not n the West Coast.

The riots between the fascist crowds and police were seen in Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles and many arrests were made, which hardly matters to the arrestees since these leftist cities tend to let felons out after they had their breakfasts.

In Los Angeles, demonstrators smashed store windows and threw rocks at cops in Hollywood, where actors and actresses are calling for the defunding of police at the expense of the business owners, many of whom are minorities.

Social media videos showed police officers in riot gear near the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street near the Hollywood Walk of Fame. One social media video showed a protester jumping on a police cruiser as it sped away. Unfortunately, the rioter was not hurt.

At least one officer was injured in the clashes, police said, according to an on-air report from KNBC-TV in Los Angeles. The officer’s condition was not reported.

It was unclear if any protesters were injured but we're keeping our fingers crossed that none are dead so that maybe one day we can put an end to the BLM and Antifa violence celebrations.

Bed Bath and Beyond, a CVS pharmacy and an Asian restaurant were among the businesses vandalized by the mostly peaceful protesters, according to KNBC and social media videos.

Police did not immediately report whether any scumcrumpets have been arrested but it hardly matters as they will be back out on the streets before you can say, "You know . . .  the thing."

Earlier, hundreds of protesters marched and celebrated Taylor’s life peacefully in Hollywood and other parts of the city until they didn't. 

In one video, police on bicycles are seen making arrests, while another video showed police in a van as they followed a group of potential anarchists.

Earlier, a violent clash broke out as police used pepper spray while moving in against a crowd.

A downtown Starbucks shop was seen with smashed windows and spray-painted messages on the outside. It's possible that the Mochalomafrappachota Latte was cold and this got them all riled up.

Police were also monitoring a group that they believed had been dragging construction signs and other items into the street in an apparent bid to block vehicles.

The Seattle Police Department tweets about 4 a.m. Saturday ET that they had made a mere 13 arrests.

In Portland, a federal courthouse in the downtown area appeared to be the main staging area for another face-off with authorities.

Just one night earlier, police had also made the magic number of 13 arrests and "kettled" about 100 demonstrators before allowing them to leave individually.

Last week’s protests outside the courthouse came soon after authorities removed a barrier that had been in place outside the building.

On Saturday night and into Sunday morning, new messages were seen spray-painted outside the courthouse, including, "Police are murderers." These same "mostly peaceful" demonstrators demonstrated their ambitions by attempting to murder those murderous police by burning them to death. Fortunately, it failed, just like their math scores.

Taylor, who was Black, was killed on March 13, 2020, when a group of Louisville Metro Police Department officers entered her apartment on a no-knock raid on Taylor's home as it was believed Walker was shipping drugs to that location. However, the police said that they did knock.

Taylor’s mostly peaceful and not very smart boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired at the officers, thinking they were burglars, he later told police. Naturally, the police officers decided that they didn't want to die so they fired back and Taylor was shot multiple times and killed in the crossfire.

Taylor’s family and their supporters have been seeking the prosecution of city police officers who participated in the raid that led to Taylor’s death. Three police officers have been fired and one detective was charged for allegedly shooting into adjacent apartments during the raid but none has been charged in connection with Taylor’s death.

Walker has filed a federal lawsuit against the Louisville police.

Authorities in Kentucky stress that their investigation is continuing.

KY senate makes taunting cops a crime

The Kentucky state Senate passed a bill that would make it a crime to taunt police officers on Thursday. The bill comes in response to the Louisville protests and concurrent riots took place over the killing of Breonna Taylor and was passed by a Republican-majority Senate 22-11. It now awaits House input.

Specifically, if anyone “accosts, insults, taunts, or challenges a law enforcement officer with offensive or derisive words, or by gestures or other physical contact, that would have a direct tendency to provoke a violent response,”  they would be guilty of a misdemeanor and face up to 90 days in jail and fines.

The penalties for rioting are also increased. Those charged with rioting would be held for a minimum of 48 hours. Also, an additional provision would criminalize aiming “a light, a laser pointer, an activated horn or other noise-making device towards the head” of first responders.

Not all Republicans voted for the bill and shared concerns that parts of it violate the First Amendment rights and strain the judicial system. But they do support the bill if some parts were amended in the House.

The bill was sponsored by State Sen. Danny Carroll, a Republican. He filed the proposal in response to the violent riots in Louisville last summer that were spurred on by Taylor's death, caused by a botched police drug raid. One cop was indicted on a wanton endangerment charge.

Republicans hold supermajorities in both the Kentucky House and Senate.

Democratic lawmakers warned that the proposal could be used to unfairly target peaceful protesters, who they define as anyone who protests on behalf of socialist causes. 

State Sen. Gerald Neal, a Democrat who represents Louisville, called the legislation “unnecessary” and “unreasonable.”

“This is a hammer on my district,” Neil said. “I personally resent it. This is beneath this body.”

He wept.
