The mayor of Louisville showed that Breonna Taylor’s family circle would get a $12 million monetary settlement after the 26-year-old African-American woman was shot dead through police.
During a press conference today, Mayor Greg Fischer presented the city’s police force reforms amid outrage over Taylor’s death in March.
Specifically, Fischer stated that the search for court orders would be subject to an increase according to the review point, that an alert formula would be available to officials who committed misconduct and that officials would be allowed to pay for two hours of netpainting paints according to the week. .
Attorney Lonita Baker, who represents the Taylor family, celebrated the reforms, but made it clear that the Taylors would abandon their efforts to hold officials involved in the shooting accountable.
“Justice for Breonna Taylor is on many levels,” Baker said, adding that Taylor’s legal team was confident that an indictment would soon come in the case.
Taylor shot and killed through Louisville police while officers were executing a court order to comply with a court order. At this time, no criminal fees have been established in this case.

Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have signed agreements to officially normalize diplomatic relations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and foreign ministers from the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed copies of the agreements, as did Trump.
The White House has still published the precise text of the agreements, but officials said it would be published later that day.
Speaking at the White House, Bahrain’s foreign minister said the standardization agreement represents a “historic step towards genuine and lasting peace” in the Middle East.
Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani thanked Trump and his advisers, such as Jared Kushner, for drawing up the deal.
“His tireless efforts brought us here and made peace a reality,” Al-Zayani said.
Trump predicted that the standardization agreement would “serve as the basis for comprehensive peace in the region, anything that no idea is possible. “
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been on the podium, thanked Trump for his “unequivocally” status with Israel since taking office.
The Prime Minister spoke of being wounded in combat and his brother in the war to underline the importance of the agreement.
Trump delivers a speech to the White House, congratulating Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain on the “exceptional achievement” of agreeing to normalize relations.
The president of the United States said he was “honored to welcome the White House” to the leaders of the three countries, signing the standardization agreement.
“We’re here this afternoon to replace the course of history,” Trump said. “After decades of department and conflict, we are marking the beginning of a new Middle East. “
Introducing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a “white house key,” Trump described it as a “special sign of affection delivered through me and the first lady. “

Netanyahu replied to Trump: “You have a key in the heart of the Jewish people. “
The president of the United States said the White House was “far away” with five other countries in a position to sign the standardization agreement. He refused to call those countries.
During his presidency, Trump took a number of steps to approach Netanyahu, moving the U. S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Chairs in the south garden gave the impression of being very grouped, in violation of physical distance recommendations to restrict the spread of coronavirus. Many visitors didn’t wear face masks either.
The occasion comes less than a month after Trump welcomed about 1,500 visitors to the South Garden for his acceptance speech to close the Republican convention.
