Breonna Taylor: SWAT Team Declares “She’s Done” In Post-Raid Video
Bodycam footage has just been released, showing a team of SWAT officers heading into Breonna Taylor’s apartment following her shooting. The disturbing video shows the officers raiding the apartment, searching every room after Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, had already stepped out and surrendered.
The video starts out with a team of SWAT officers discussing outside of her apartment, preparing to head inside. “The female is supposedly the one that’s shot,” said one of the cops.

The footage then follows the officers inside, providing the first good look inside of Breonna Taylor’s apartment. We can see the room she was sleeping in, in which the television is still playing a movie or show that she was watching. Throughout the video, Taylor’s body is blurred out. She was lying dead in the hallway for several minutes as the SWAT team looked through the unit.
About six minutes through, one of the cops checked for a pulse on Taylor, asking if she can hear him before declaring to his fellow officers: “She’s done.”
They also inspect shell casings on the floor, declaring them to be from police weapons after pondering whether they were from Walker’s gun.
The video is disturbing for many reasons and, if you’re easily triggered by this sort of content, we urge you not to watch the videos below.
As you likely know, the officers responsible for Breonna Taylor’s death were hit with light charges. Brett Hankison was charged with wanton endangerment for firing shots into a neighboring apartment.
RIP Breonna Taylor.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
