Jennifer Lawrence is using her considerable star power to call for justice for Breonna Taylor, the Kentucky woman who was fatally shot in her bed by police officers in Louisville, KY.
Lawrence created a new Twitter account to call for the police officers who killed Taylor to be brought to justice.
Breonna, 26, was fatally shot multiple times in her own home in March after officers entered her house with a no-knock warrant, searching for a suspect who was already in custody.
The three cops allegedly involved have not been charged or suspended.
In only her second post on a new Twitter profile created this month, Jennifer wrote, “#SayHerName #BreonnaTaylor,” above a powerful statement demanding Kentucky’s Attorney General Daniel Cameron hold them accountable.
“For three months since her murder Breonna Taylor’s family, the people of Louisville, Americans across the country, and many around the world have called out for justice,” she said in a statement. “And yet, those calls have gone unanswered. No arrests have been made, the officers responsible for her death remain employed by the LMPD (Louisville Metro Police Department), and disturbingly, the LMPD’s own investigation report was woefully inaccurate.”
The ‘Hunger Games’ actress also condemned the “erasure” of black women, stating that it could not “continue in America.”
She was likely referring to the fact that Black women are raped or killed with barely any attention given to their stories.
