Ellen Greenberg’s autopsy revealed eleven bruises, described as “in various stages of resolution,” suggesting infliction over time.

This ruling stemmed from the belief she was alone in a locked apartment, a claim contradicted by evidence suggesting otherwise. Ongoing lawsuits by the Greenberg family continue to challenge the official narrative and seek justice for their daughter.

The recent ruling on Breonna Taylor’s case has left me speechless. How is it possible that the judge ruled that Breonna’s boyfriend, who was defending their home against what he perceived as a home invasion, caused her death, not the officers who aggressively entered the premises with a fraudulent warrant? This blatant disregard for justice and common sense is disheartening and enraging.
The fact that the officers used misleading information to obtain a warrant that ultimately led to Breonna’s death is disturbing. It is outrageous to suggest that there is no direct link between the unconstitutional forced entry by the police and Breonna’s tragic death.… Continue reading

From the video footage released by the Florida sheriff, the tragic and senseless killing of an airman in his own apartment is a terrifying reminder of the dangers faced by citizens when law enforcement officers fail to uphold their duty to protect and serve. The facts presented in the video paint a disturbing picture of a trigger-happy deputy who shot an unarmed man almost immediately after the door was opened, despite the victim’s non-threatening posture and compliance with the officer’s orders to step back.
