Ads demanding justice for Breonna Taylor play during NFL game
FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – With so many eyes finally back on sports during the NFL’s opening Sunday night game, two ads played urging everyone to fight for justice for Breonna Taylor.
The ad comes from some of the over 11 million people who have signed an online petition demanding, among other things, the arrest of all the officers involved in Taylor’s death.
The ad encourages viewers to call Kentucky lawmakers.
Host of the online Change.org petition, Loralei HoJay, says people have already made almost 70 thousand calls, and the momentum isn’t dying.
“I want her family to know that we’re not done yet and anyone that disagrees I hope that they see this,” says HoJay. “I hope that it changes their mind, and any lawmakers that potentially sees this, I hope it lets them know that they can’t continue to ignore this issue.”
Taylor was shot and killed in her own home in March when police executed a botched no-knock search warrant.
The ads played during the Dallas Cowboys – Los Angeles Rams game.
