Congressman John Yarmuth (D-Louisville) released the following statement via Twitter soon after the Cameron press conference ended.
Yesterday, a day before a grand jury chose not to charge him, one of the officers who broke into Breonna Taylor's home and shot her to death wrote, "I know we did the legal, moral and ethical thing that night." [1/4]

In no sense could this be considered moral or ethical. That this killing has been deemed “legal,” that an officer involved could *still* feel that her death was justified, shows how very, very far we still have to go. [2/4]
No, Breonna Taylor’s killing was neither moral nor ethical, and it’s past time for the law to reflect that. Breonna did not deserve to be killed in her home. She deserves justice. [3/4]
I join the many who demand change so that no one has to face the same “legal” fate as Breonna Taylor, in our community or anywhere else, ever again. [4/4]
