Jul 22, 20250:22Now PlayingBianca Austin, aunt of Breonna Taylor, was detained by police on July 21 as protestors awaited the sentencing of former Louisville police detective Brett Hankison. Austin was among the few protesters arrested outside the courthouse where the hearing was happening in downtown Louisville.
Taylor, a Black woman, was shot and killed by Louisville, Kentucky, police officers in March 2020 after they used a no-knock warrant at her home. Her boyfriend, believing they were intruders, fired on the officers with a legally owned firearm, prompting them to return fire.
The Justice Department under President Donald Trump had asked the judge to imprison Hankison for just a single day.
U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings, who handed down the sentence, criticized prosecutors for making a "180-degree" turn in its approach to the case and said political factors appeared to have influenced its recommendation for the sentence.
