FEDERAL PROSECUTORS AND THE FBI
CONDUCTING A SEPARATE CIVIL
RIGHTS, THE ATTORNEY FOR BLACK’S
FAMILY JOINING US.
IN THE D.O.J. ALSO INVESTIGATED
PRE-WHAT LEGAL RESOLUTION ARE
YOU HOPING FOR FOR THOSE
INVESTIGATIONS UNTIL UP AND TELL
WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THE CASE
THIS WEEK.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
THE FAMILY IS ASKING WHAT
ANYBODY WOULD ASK FOR.
THEY WANT ACCOUNTABILITY, THEY
WANT JUSTICE.
YOU SEE FROM THE VIDEO THAT
JACOB BLAKE JUNIOR HOLDS NO
THREAT TO THE OFFICERS AS IS
THREAT TO THE OFFICERS AS IS
MOVING AWAY FROM THEM INTO GET
THE BOYS OUT OF A VOLATILE
SITUATION WHEN THE POLICE
GRABBED HIS T-SHIRT AND SHOOTS
HIM SEVEN TIMES POINT BLANK
RANGE IN THE BACK.
PARALYZING HIM WITH HIS
8-YEAR-OLD, 5-YEAR-OLD AND HIS
3-YEAR-OLD SONS ALL WATCHING
THIS HAPPEN TO THEIR FATHER.
AND SO FROM THAT MOMENT TO THIS
ONE, HIS FAMILY HAS BEEN PRAYING
FOR HIS HEALTH AND RECOVERY THAT
HE WOULD JUST SURVIVE SUCH A
SENSELESS, BRUTAL USE OF FORCE.
AND THEN HOPING THERE WILL BE
ACCOUNTABILITY BECAUSE THERE
SEEMS TO BE EPIDEMIC WHERE BLACK
PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD NOT PUT
ANYBODY IN HARM’S WAY SO THEY
CONTINUE TO BE KILLED WHICH IS
DIRECTLY OPPOSITE FROM THE YOUNG
WHITE MAN WHO KILLED TWO PEOPLE
AND NOBODY SHOT HIM IN THE BACK
AND NOBODY KILLED HIM.
ARTHEL: YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT
KYLE IN A SEPARATE SITUATION IN
PORTLAND.
LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS.
LISTEN I HAD YOU ON HERE BECAUSE
I WANTED TO HAVE YOU TELL ME AND
WALK ME THROUGH WHAT’S HAPPENING
TO THE LEGAL ASPECT OF THE CASE,
I DO NOT HAVE THE POLICE SIDE
BUT THEY WOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT
SIDE ON RECORD.
I WANT TO GO BACK TO BLAKE BUT I
WANT TO GO TO BREONNA TAYLOR
BECAUSE YOU’RE ALSO WORKING WITH
BECAUSE YOU’RE ALSO WORKING WITH
HER FAMILY AS WELL, SHE WAS
KILLED ALMOST SIX MONTH AGO, ONE
OFFICER HAS BEEN FIRED AND THE
OTHER TWO OFFICERS INVOLVED HAD
BEEN PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE
REASSIGNMENT.
ARE YOU EXPECTING ANY FORWARD
MOVEMENT ON THIS CASE THIS WEEK,
I’M TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO
BE STUCK.
>> BREANNA TAYLORS CASE IS ONE
OF THE MOST HEARTBREAKING CASES
YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE, YOUR CHILD
IN THEIR APARTMENT SLEEPING IN
THEIR BED AT 1:00 A.M. IN THE
POLICE UNANNOUNCED BUST OPEN THE
FRONT DOOR AND THEY DON’T KNOW
WHAT’S GOING ON, THEY THINK IT’S
A BURGLAR AND SHE IS KILLED AND
HER BODY IS MUTILATED BY A
BULLET BY THE PEOPLE WERE
SUPPOSED TO PROTECT AND SERVE
THEM.
AND THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER THE
INVESTIGATION IN SIX MONTHS HAVE
PASSED NOW AND THEY’RE WAITING
ON THE BALLISTICS REPORT FROM
THE FBI AND WE EXPECT THAT THEY
SHOULD BE BRINGING CHARGES ANY
DAY NOW BUT IT CONTINUES TO BE A
DELAY IN JUSTICE DELAYED IS
JUSTICE DENIED BECAUSE THEY
NEVER INTENDED ON HOLDING THESE
OFFICERS ACCOUNTABLE UNTIL WE
STARTED SAYING RIHANNA TAYLOR
LIFE MATTER, BLACK WOMEN’S LIFE
MATTER.
THE POLICE REPORT THAT THEY
RELEASED THREE MONTHS AGO WAS
THREE PAGES AND IS SAID THERE
WAS NO INJURIES AND NO FORCE OF
INJURY.
WE KNOW BOTH OF THOSE ARE
MISTRUTHS BECAUSE THEY BUSTED
OPEN HER DOOR AND SHE WAS
KILLED.
HOW CAN YOU SAY NO INJURIES.
ARTHEL: THE POLICE SAID THEY
WERE ON A NO KNOCK WARRANT WHICH
MEANS THEY GET TO KNOCK ON THE
DOOR AND SAY POLICE IN GAME ON.
THEIR DISPUTE AS TO WHAT
HAPPENED THAT NIGHT, I HAVE YOU
HERE SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
WHAT YOU AND I TALK ABOUT.
APPARENTLY REPORTEDLY THAT MY
APPARENTLY REPORTEDLY THAT MY
POLICE WERE LOOKING FOR
JAMARCUS, AND EX-BOYFRIEND, CAN
CONVICTED FELON WITH A HISTORY
OF DRUG TRAFFICKING.
ACCORDING TO THE COURT DOCUMENTS
THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED, HE HAS
BEEN OFFERED A PLEA DEAL,
SENTENCE ORDERED, THE TEN YEARS
THAT HE COULD FACE IN PRISON IF
HE NAMES BREONNA TAYLOR AS A
CODEFENDANT IN HIS GAME, HE SAID
NO I’M NOT QUITE TO DO THAT
BECAUSE THAT IS NOT TRUE.
MEANWHILE YOU MENTIONED BEFORE
KENTUCKY ATTORNEY GENERAL DANIEL
CAMERON WHO TWEETED THIS
REGARDING THIS CASE, HE SAID
YES, TODAY WHILE WE HONOR A
YES, TODAY WHILE WE HONOR A
KENTUCKY TRADITION WITH THE
RUNNING OF THE DERBY WE REMAIN
COGNIZANT OF THE COMMUNITY’S
DESIRE FOR ANSWERS IN THE
INVESTIGATION INTO THE DEATH OF
MS. BREONNA TAYLOR, WE MOVE
FORWARD WITH OUR INVESTIGATION
REDOING TO REACH THE TRUTH.
DO YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THE
KENTUCKY AG WILL PROSECUTE THIS
CASE FAIRLY?
>> BREANNA TAYLORS FAMILY IS
VERY SUSPICIOUS OF ANY LAW
ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE FROM DAY ONE.
HER MOTHER AND LITTLE SISTER
CALLED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
EVERY DAY FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS
BEFORE WE GOT INVOLVED SAYING
CAN YOU TELL US ANSWERS WHY YOU
KILLED MY CHILD IN HER OWN
APARTMENT AND THEY KEPT BEING
PUSHED ASIDE OVER AND OVER
AGAIN.
UNTIL THERE ARE CHARGES, THE
FAMILY HAS NO FATE WHATSOEVER
THAT ANYTHING IS GOING TO BE
DONE AND THAT IS WHY WE CONTINUE
TO SAY HER NAME.
ARTHEL: I KNOW YOU CONTINUE
WORKING ON THE CASE TO NOT ONLY
SAY HER NAME BREONNA TAYLOR BUT
YOU WANT TO GET JUSTICE FOR HER.
YOU WANT TO GET JUSTICE FOR HER.
I WANT TO FLIP OVER TO THE JACOB
BLAKE JUNIOR’S CASE.
WE PLAYED EARLIER FROM HIS
HOSPITAL BED AND SOMETHING ELSE
JACOB BLAKE JUNIOR SAID FROM HIS
HOSPITAL BED THAT DAY HE SAID
PLEASE I AM TELLING YOU CHANGE
YOUR LIVES.
STICK TOGETHER, MAKE SOME MONEY,
MAKE EVERYTHING EASIER FOR OUR
PEOPLE OUT THERE, MAN, THERE IS
SO MUCH TIME THAT HAS BEEN
WASTED.
WHO DO YOU THINK JACOB IS
TALKING TO?
>> HE OBVIOUSLY WAS EMOTIONAL
STATEMENT AND JACOB IS A GOOD
STATEMENT AND JACOB IS A GOOD
YOUNG MAN.
THERE IS EVERYTHING OUT THERE BY
JACOB BLAKE JUNIOR, HE HAS NEVER
EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME
EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME
IN HIS LIFE.
ARTHEL: HE HAS NOT BEEN
CONVICTED BUT I DO HAVE TO SAY
ACCORDING TO REPORTS HE WAS
WANTED ON SEXUAL ASSAULT AND
DOMESTIC ABUSE CHARGES STEMMING
FROM AN INCIDENT IN JULY WHICH
DOES NOT JUSTIFY WHAT HAPPENED
TWO WEEKS AGO.
>> HE HAS NEVER BEEN CONVICTED
OF A CRIME IN HIS LIFE, WE ARE
CONFIDENT THAT HE WILL BE FOUND
NOT GUILTY OF THESE LATEST
ALLEGATIONS IF THEY ARE EVEN
BROUGHT TO THE COURTROOM ONCE
EVERYTHING COMES OUT.
BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW IS WHAT
HAPPENED ON THAT VIDEO WAS
UNJUSTIFIED AND THERE SEEMS TO
ALWAYS BE ON OCCASION WHEN BLACK
PEOPLE ARE SHOT OR KILLED BY
POLICE TO TRY TO ASSASSINATE
THEIR CHARACTER TO JUSTIFY THE
UNJUSTIFIABLE ACTIONS BY LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND WE HAVE TO SAY
WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO DEMONIZE
PEOPLE OF COLOR AFTER WE KILLED
THEM.
WE HAVE TO SAY WE HAVE JUSTICE
OF AMERICA AND WE HAVE TO TREAT
BLACK CITIZENS LIKE WE TREAT
WHITE CITIZENS.
THERE CANNOT BE TWO JUSTICE
SYSTEMS IN AMERICA, THERE HAS TO
BE EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL
CITIZENS IN AMERICA.
ARTHEL: I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU
ARTHEL: I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU
ARE SAYING AND I CERTAINLY WAS
NOT TRAINED TO MARRY THE TWO
BECAUSE THERE TO SEPARATE
WHATEVER THE ALLEGATIONS ARE.
THEY ARE DEFINITELY SEPARATE I
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
BUT I HAVE TO PUT THAT ON RECORD
BECAUSE YOU SAID HE’S NEVER DONE
ANYTHING IN HIS LIFE AND PERHAPS
HE IS INNOCENT WHAT I’VE HERE
YOU IT DOES NOT JUSTIFY WHAT IS
HAPPENED TWO WEEKS AGO.
I COMPLETE THE UNDERSTAND THAT.
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU BACK, I
WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING
WITH THIS CASE BOTH JACOB BLAKE
