Brett Hankison, an officer who fired shots into Breonna Taylor’s home, was found guilty by a jury for violating her civil rights. As NBC News reported:

Taylor, 26, was fatally shot by police in the March 13, 2020, raid, but not by Hankison and he was not charged with her death. Hankison, 48, fired 10 shots into Taylor’s apartment but none of them struck anyone. Some of his shots also flew into a neighboring apartment.

And when I’m especially weary, I turn to Langston Hughes. It may be worth visiting “Let America Be America Again,” a searing reminder of what America was, is and likely will always be.
