“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams is calling out the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron for having her arrested on a felony but still allowing the officers involved in Breonna Taylor’s death to walk freely.
Porsha, who was recently released from jail, shared this message to the Kentucky AG on social media. She wrote, “Wow @danieljaycameron you really took the time to upgrade 1 out of 3 of our charges to FELONY?? This is disgusting .... meanwhile not one peep about this botched investigation of Breonna Taylors MURDER!!!
She continued, “Plus not one arrest of the cops .... instead you celebrate with your bride and give them Active desk duty to keep these killers protected. You can’t possibly think this is ok! Sure create the possibility for peaceful protesters to get locked up for 1-5 year but absolutely no accountability for your officers?!! ?? This is sad that this is the world we live in!! It’s simple don’t kill us as we sleep in our homes , don’t kill us for sleeping in our car, don’t kill us from walking to a store and don’t Kill our spirits and further oppress us when we stand up to say you are Wrong!!! #JusticeForall #JusticeforBreonnaTaylor”
As The Blast previously reported, earlier this week, Porsha along with 86 others, were arrested after protesting in front of Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s home. They demanded he brings charges after the three officers involved in Breonna Taylor’s death.
After being arrested and booked, Porsha was held in jail with no bond for her charges. She was charged with felony intimidating a participant in a legal process, disorderly conduct in the second degree and criminal trespassing.
The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of 5 years if convicted.
Eventually, Porsha was released from jail but still has to fight the felony charge, which is highly unusual for this type of arrest. After her getting out, Porsha met Breonna Taylor’s mother and posed for a photo together.
On March 13, 2020, 26-year-old Breonna Taylor was fatally shot by the Louisville Metro Police Department. Three plain-clothed officers executed a no-knock search warrant on her apartment in Kentucky.
As the officers broke into her apartment, Breonna’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker exchanged gunfire with officers believing they were intruders.
The police officers fired over twenty shots and eight hit Breonna. The warrant was in relation to an investigation into two men, Jamarcus Glover and Adrian Walker, suspected of selling drugs. Jamarcus was an ex-boyfriend of Breonna.
The three officers involved, Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove, have yet to be fired or face any consequences.
