Although the reporters are not rude to the reporters who ask questions, they have simply chosen to use their time in front of the microphone to demand justice for Breonna Taylor.
A nursing student, Taylor, 26, was killed in her home in Louisville, USA when she was asleep and unarmed.
It has been alleged that the officers arrived at their home with a notorious warrant. It is believed that the three men shot 20 bullets into the house and shot Ms. Taylor fatally at least eight times during a narcotic investigation, although no drugs were found on the premises.
Officers Jon Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove were administrative reassigned during the shootout investigation.
Philadelphia 76er star Tobias Harris called Kentucky’s Attorney General in a 59-second interview a few days ago, and now NBA mega-star LeBron James has used his platform to request her arrest.
After starring again for the Los Angeles Lakers, James used his post-game press conference to spotlight Taylor and the fight for justice.
“I want to continue to shed light on justice for Breonna Taylor and her family and everything that is going on in this situation,” said James after being asked about the game.
When asked what came next in the fight for Taylor and her family, James did not hesitate.
“We want the cops who committed this crime to be arrested,” he said.
“As one of the leaders of this league, I want her family to know, and I want the state of Kentucky to know that we feel for her and that we want justice. That’s what it’s about. What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. “
ESPN’s Malika Andrews noticed that James was referring to George Floyd and his death, which was recorded in the film, and wondered if this was necessary for people’s understanding.
“Do we need that, a video that kills Breonna so people can see how bad it is?” Said James.
“Black Lives Matter is not a movement. Being black is not movement. It is a lifestyle. This is a stage in your life when you wake up and you’re black. “
“When he speaks, the whole world listens,” teammate Anthony Davis told reporters.
James has shown that he is a leader in the fight for equality, and his post-game comments, which lasted about 15 minutes, were described as “powerful” by The Athletic’s Bill Oram.
James played on his shoes on Friday morning with the message “# Justice4BreonnaT”.
