    “The fact that Brett Hankinson was not even charged for Breonna Taylor’s killing and only faced charges for the wanton endangerment of her white neighbors was a slap in the face for Breonna and her family,” [Ben Crump, an attorney for Taylor's family] said. “...We demand real police reform, including a federal ban of no-knock warrants and improved training for law enforcement officers."
