Jury convicts former Kentucky officer of using excessive force on Breonna Taylor during deadly raid

A federal jury has convicted a former Kentucky detective of using excessive force on Breonna Taylor the night she was shot to death by police officers in 2020. The 12-member jury returned the late night verdict after clearing Brett Hankison earlier in the evening on a charge that he used excessive force on Taylor’s neighbors. Taylor was fatally shot by other officers. A separate jury deadlocked on similar charges last year, forcing a mistrial. It was the first conviction of a Louisville police officer involved in the deadly raid. The death of the 26-year-old Black woman sparked racial injustice protests nationwide.

How to Stay Safe During a Tear Gas
Attack - From a US Marine
📣📣📣📣📣
This is for the protesters

I am a former Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Defense Specialist in the US Marine Corps. Step by step, this
is how to stay as safe as possible when exposed to tear gas. I hope this is helpful.

EDIT: there is now a
captioned video available on YouTube for the deaf and hard of hearing! Stay safe.

EDIT: HERE ARE SOME FAQ's!
Q: Does milk help?.
A: NO! Milk is a low level acid and will make the sensation worse/last longer. THE BEST AND FASTEST way to alleviate symptoms is fresh air! Wait a LONG time (hours) before showering. Wash hands
with soap at any time.

Q: Will it cause an asthma attack?
A: Tear gas is not specifically designed to trigger an asthma attack, however it is a possibility.

Please note: I am NOT a medic nor posturing as one. Follow the protocol you're familiar with and get to a hospital
if you feel an attack coming on. PLEASE talk to your doctor about any/all specific health concerns before putting yourself in an uncertain position.

Q: How about a mini fan?
A: YES! Great idea. A mini fan will help create airflow, therefore helping the powder dry.*

Q: Leaf blower?
A: Not advisable, especially at close range. The wind is too strong, and too direct. Runs the risk of pushing
powder further into the pores. Mini fan for a gentle wind is a good idea.

Q: Can I wear my contacts?
A: Not advisable. Wear glasses if you have them. lf powder gets between your eye and your contact, it could potentially scratch your cornea.

Q: Should I wear swim goggles?
A: YES! Excellent idea! Thick plastic swim or ski goggles, when worn correctly, could be very effective
in protecting your eyes!

‼️Note: powder will collect around the outside. Be careful taking them off.

Q: What else can I wear to protect myself?
A: Long sleeves, pants, high socks, closed-toe shoes, scarves, hats, and gloves will do a lot to protect your
skin! Cover as much of yourself as you can. It won't stop all of the powder from reaching your skin, but a barrier will stop some.

Q: Will it come out of my clothes?
A: YES! Wash them separately from other laundry twice. It will all come out.
