jury voted to return an indictment. >>against detective hankinson for 3 counts of wanton endangerment former police officer brett hankinson indicted by a grand jury after the attorney general said he fired 10 bullets some of which went into an apartment adjacent to briana taylor's. >>the attorney general saying 2 other officers jonathan mattingly, and myles cosgrove both fired shots that march night, including what he called the fatal shot that killed 26 year-old taylor, they're not being indicted our investigation found that mattingly in cars grove. we are justified in the use of force just a few hours after the announcement we talked to some protesters in downtown louisville where people have been gathering for months has not right. it's not right out of the houses would be arrested we didn't get justice today, honestly was not surprised i think that all what we saw today. >>it is historic of how black folks have been treated in our nation and ben crump attorney for taylor's family writing on

twitter quote if brett hankinson behavior constituted wanton endangerment to people in neighboring apartments. then it should also be considered wanton endangerment a briana in fact it should have been ruled wanton murder attorney general cameron saying the investigation took months with interviews as recent as last friday the case then presented on monday. so news nation asked how long the grand jury deliberated how long did they deliver a today began on monday or to begin tuesday. and that was of this week correct. i will that they started. >>early monday. in some time. before and so they heard everything they needed to hear the attorney general says it's unlikely there will be any additional charges related to the shooting and adds that he understands that some people in the community may be hurting criminal law is not meant. >>to respond to every sorrow and grief and that is that is true here. my heart breaks.

question of recklessness they get you into a mass case that easily could have been done. >>i think the decision was these officers were there they were firing in defense of their own life send out and they were firing until the threat subsided. >>president trump is praising kentucky's republican attorney general for his handling of the investigation when asked about the case and it's result the president said attorney general daniel cameron is quote a really brilliant star. >>and he made a statement that i'll just it just is not just this is often easy. it does not fit the mold of public opinion and it does not conform. to shifting standards it. it says only to the facts into the law. if we simply actor in a motion are outraged is no justice mob justice is a chess is just a side by

violence is not just as. it just becomes that they heard that i said write that down from a place because i think it's it was a terrific statement of he's handling it very well. >>so the president it's being handled very well and that was a terrific statement, the president says he will soon be speaking to kentucky governor andy this year. >>presidential nominee joe biden is reacting to the ruling as well and here you see a portion of it. he says quote we need to start addressing the use of excessive force banning choke holds and overhauling no knock warrants biden went on to add that he knows people are frustrated and they have a right to peacefully protest. but again reminding people that violence is not acceptable. and biden's running mate senator kamala harris also wrote in part quote, i'm briana taylor's family who still grieving the loss of a daughter and sister. we must never stop speaking bree on his name as we work to reform our justice system including overhauling no knock warrants. we'll take a break
