Sunken Sellout Daniel Cameron Responds To Megan Thee Stallion Calling Him Out On ‘SNL’

Source: Jon Cherry / Getty Kentucky’s tap-dancing Attorney General Daniel Cameron felt a way about Megan Thee Stallion calling him out and has finally responded. In case you missed it, Megan The Stallion lived up to her song “Savage” and didn’t hold no punches calling out Cameron during her SNL performance. A recording of activist Tamika D. Mallory played dragging Mitch McMconnell’s protege “Daniel Cameron is no different than the sellout Negroes that sold our people into slavery by savages.” Of course, Cameron was BIG MAD and went to Fox News to vent about being labeled a “sellout Negro.” Cameron did agree with Megan when it comes to protecting Black women, but that’s where it stopped claiming he found the rapper’s performance offensive. “The fact that someone would get on national televi...

Grand Juror In Breonna Taylor Case Says Kentucky AG Misrepresented Deliberations

Source: SOPA Images / Getty The police officers connected to the tragic shooting death of Breonna Taylor never faced murder charges because the Kentucky Attorney General didn’t give jurors that option. A grand juror has since come forth saying that AG Daniel Cameron misrepresented deliberations in the case thus misleading the public. The New York Times reports that the juror stated to their attorney Kevin Glogower that they were dismayed by the lack of an indictment to be deliberated upon regarding the officers’ alleged crime. Only former Louisville Metro Police Department officer Brett Hankison was presented to the 12-member panel with possible charges. From the Times: Mr. Glogower said the juror came to him last week in a state of turmoil after Mr. Cameron repeatedly said at a news confe...

Tamika Mallory Places Sellout Jacket On Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron

After the miscarriage of justice that was Breonna Taylor’s indictment announcement or rather lack thereof, the feeling towards Kentucky’s government might be at an all time low with people of color. As spotted on Blavity activist Tamika Mallory went ten toes down on Daniel Cameron, the resident Attorney General for the city. On Friday, September 25 she spoke at a press conference where she took objection to his decision to place higher value on concrete walls than Breonna’s life. “I want you to understand how wicked he is and how wicked this system is,” she said. Mallory also pointed to the fact that he had pledged his allegiance to the local police upon...

LeBron James Vows To Continue The Fight For Black Women Following Breonna Taylor Injustice

Source: AAron Ontiveroz/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images / Getty LeBron James is just like the rest of us, fed the f*ck up and frustrated following Wednesday’s (Sept.24) horrendous decision in the Breonna Taylor case. James was one of the many athletes extremely unsurprisingly disappointed and upset with the decision not to charge any officers in the unjustified shooting death of Breonna Taylor. Immediately following the decision, James took to Twitter to voice his anger and revisited the powerful message the late Malcolm X shared regarding the treatment of Black women around the world. “The most DISRESPECTED person on Earth is THE BLACK WOMAN! I promise you I’ll do my best to change this as much as I can and even more!!! Love to you Queens all over this country and beyond....

However, they have reached a settlement in the wrongful death civil suit filed against the city of Louisville.

Authorities Offered Breonna Taylor’s Ex-Boyfriend Less Time If He Implicated Her In His Alleged Crimes

Source: Jon Cherry / Getty Black Lives Matter protests continue to march along in various cities across the United States and justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Jacob Blake remains on Amerikkka’s “To Do” list. But it seems like the Louisville Metro Police Department is pulling out all the stops to ensure that the three officers who took the life of Breonna Taylor avoid accountability and walk away scotfree. After months of trying to justify the killing of Breonna Taylor during an no-knock police raid earlier this year, it seems like LMPD hatched a new scheme to smear the reputation of the 26-year-old emergency medical technician by offering her ex-boyfriend less prison time if he falsely implicated Taylor as his partner-in-crime. According to Louisville attorney, Sam Aguiar...

Shucking & Jiving Kentucky AG Claims New Report On Breonna Taylor Inconclusive

Source: Chip Somodevilla / Getty Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is seemingly once again dragging his feet when it comes to serving justice for the family of Breona Taylor. After being dragged for invoking her name at the RNC to drum up support for Donald Trump, Daniel Cameron and his office now have a full report about the guns and shots fired in Breonna Taylor’s apartment on that dreadful night, but according to Cameron, the new information still leaves the case inconclusive. On Sunday (Aug 30), during an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Cameron states that although his office has received information after waiting “weeks for an FBI ballistics report”, he still needs “more information” to file charges against the officers who killed her. “Representative Demmings right bef...

Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron’s Asymmetrical Line Up Was At The RNC Instead Of Seeking Justice For Breonna Taylor

Breonna Taylor’s death currently sits over 150 days unanswered by Kentucky’s justice system, yet their Attorney General, Daniel Cameron, prioritized a cooning opportunity to invoke her name in a speech at the Republican National Convention.   In his six-minute and thirty-second speech, Cameron brandished his dark brown skin to seduce Black voters into choosing Donald Trump for a second term this Source: Chip Somodevilla / Getty November.
