LOUISVILLE, Kentucky-Today would have been the 27th birthday of Breonna Taylor had she not been gunned down in March by Louisville Metro police, and federal lawmakers like U.S. Sen Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, both former presidential candidates and potentials to be on Democratic presumptive nominee Joe Biden's ticket as vice president Biden committing to a woman as a running mate, are commenting on the tragic death of the young Black woman.

"Today should have been Breonna's 27th birthday but her life was horrifically taken by officers," said Sen Harris in a tweet. "Keep up the calls for justice."

Sen Warren tweeted that Taylor is among so many Blacks victimized by racism and police brutality in America.

"We honor their lives by continuing the fight for justice," tweeted Warren, "for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Eric Garner, Stephon Clark, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, and all the Black lives we've lost to racist violence."

Taylor's shooting death by police drew protests in Louisville, including an event held last Thursday behind the police killing on May 25 of George Floyd by Minneapolis police, the rally for Taylor culminating in calls for systemic changes in policing.

Seven people got shot during Louisville's protest last Thursday for justice for Breonna, one critically.

Floyd's killing by the cops has drawn national protests and nationwide interest, as has the death of Taylor.

Then a 26-year- old emergency room technician, police shot and killed Taylor on March 13 in her Louisville apartment after three cops barged in via a no-knock drug warrant, her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, firing a gun off when they entered allegedly unannounced, and Taylor, in turn, killed by police due to no fought of her own.

She was shot eight times.

Police claim her residence was suspected of drug activity and that a car registered to her was allegedly seen parked at a home under police surveillance for alleged drug dealing activity by an ex- acquaintance of Taylor.

Floyd died 10 days ago, and after since fired White cop Derek Chauvin, the arresting officer, held his knee on his neck until he killed him, and before a crowd of people as the Black man pleaded for his life and cried out that he could not breathe.

Chauvin and the other three involved officers, all of them White, were immediately fired.

Chauvin has since been charged with second degree murder and manslaughter and the other three officers have been charged with aiding and abetting, all four in jail in custody with bail set at $500 thousand for Chauvin, and $750 thousand each for the other three officers, who, if convicted, face up to 40 years in prison.

Arrested on a forgery charge over a counterfeit $20 bill, the murder by police of Floyd, 46, has resurrected anger in the Black community relative to Blacks questionably killed by anxious White cops, including Staten Island police murder victim Eric Garner, whom New York police choked to death in 2014, the same year Cleveland police gunned down 12-year-old Tamir Rice at a park and recreation center on the city's largely White west side, and the death of Sandra Bland, a 28-year-old community activist who was found hanged in a jail cell in Waller County, Texas in 2015.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
