Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron doesn’t want the nation’s youngest generations to listen to celebrities and their differing opinions about the country’s justice system, following a grand jury’s decision to bring no murder charges against Louisville police officers for the death of Breonna Taylor. Here’s what you need to know.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Cameron made it clear that the last thing anyone should do is listen to or follow in the lead of celebrities and influencers who think that they know all of the answers and the solutions when it comes to the country’s justice system.
Kentucky Attorney General Warns Against Listening To Celebrities Following Breonna Taylor Indictment
After news of the indictment broke, Cameron said during a press conference that there will be plenty of emotions that the nation will be going through while there were also be those who may deride the decision as a lack of justice.
He said, “There will be celebrities, influencers and activists who having never lived in Kentucky will try to tell us how to feel, suggesting they understand the facts of this case, that they know our community and the Commonwealth better than we do, but they don’t.”
Of course, it didn’t take very long for the same Hollywood actors and activists to speak out on the decision. George Clooney, who was born and raised in Kentucky, said in a statement, “The justice system I was raised to believe in holds people responsible for their actions.
Her name was Breonna Taylor and she was shot to death in her bed by 3 white police officers, who will not be charged with any crime for her death. I know the community. I know the commonwealth. And I was taught in the schools and churches of Kentucky what is right and what is wrong. I’m ashamed of this decision.”
