Beyoncé has spoken out
In an open letter, Beyoncé is calling for charges against the cops in Breonna Taylor's case.
Breonna is a black woman who was killed by police in March while she was sleeping.
The letter, addressed to Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, is posted on Beyoncé's website.
She calls for "swift and decisive action" in charging the officers involved.
Although the Louisville cops have been placed on administrative reassignment, they have not been criminally charged.
The letter says:
"Three months have passed — and the LMPD’s investigations have created more questions than answer.
"Their incident report states that Ms. Taylor suffered no injuries — yet we know she was shot at least eight times. The LMPD officers claim they announced themselves before forcing their way into Ms. Taylor’s apartment — but her boyfriend who was with her, as well as several neighbors, all say that this is untrue."
Beyoncé notes that although federal legislation and 'Breonna's Law' have been passed, "these small steps in the right direction are painful reminders that there has still been no justice for Breonna Taylor or her family"
As well as criminal charges, the Crazy In Love singer has also asked for transparency in both the investigation and prosecution.

Beyoncé has previously been vocal online about the death of George Floyd, calling for charges against those involved in his death.
Kanye West has also reportedly set up a college fund for Mr. Floyd's daughter. You can read more on that here.
