Breonna Taylor’s civil rights were not only violated. She was murdered. Say that she was murdered. Violation of civil rights sounds so genteel.

You’re right and I appreciate you saying it plain. I was trying to balance the legal framing with the emotional truth, but “violation of civil rights” doesn’t carry the full weight. Breonna Taylor was murdered. That needs to be said without flinching. Thank you for the reminder to stay sharp with the language. We do owe her that much.

And you also are right - our debt to Breonna can never be repaid. I have much more to say but I thank you for remembering her. Stay sharp with your language - we need that very much.
