The leader of a Black militia group says when Attorney General Daniel Cameron told him it would be four months before his investigation into the Breonna Taylor case would be completed, he had one response.
“I told him, ‘You ain’t got four months.’”
The comments came from Grand Master Jay, leader of the NFAC, the “Not F****ing Around Coalition, to about 350 armed militia members in downtown Louisville Saturday.
Standing on the steps of Metro Hall, Grand Master Jay said he was told Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer only gave the full case to Cameron last week, and that Cameron told him in a phone call that the case file was sorely lacking in documents.
“There was no crime scene,” Grand Master Jay told the group. “There was no report. There was no ballistics. There was no blood and toxicology. Matter of fact, there wasn’t nothing. So when they gave it to the AG, and he said, ‘Where’s the case?’ The mayor said, ‘I gave you enough. Do your job.’”
“And they thought that [EXPLETIVE] was gonna go away,” Grand Master Jay told the group. “But you mother-[EXPLETIVE]s ain’t stupid.”
He said he asked Cameron on the phone if he would arrest the officers, and he says Cameron responded with, “I’m going to do what I need to do.”
In response, the militia leader told the group that he issued an ultimatum to Cameron, telling him he had four weeks to finish the investigation. He also promised that the NFAC would return to Louisville.
“Four weeks from today, we gonna come back here, and we should have an answer,” he said.
He then got the group to look at their watches and repeat an oath that if, in four weeks, they didn’t “get the truth…the whole truth…and the mother-[EXPLETIVE] truth…we are going to burn this mother-[EXPLETIVE] down.”
In a statement on Saturday evening, Cameron’s office confirmed that the attorney general did speak with Grand Master Jay by phone, but denied making any statements about a timeline.
“As was confirmed earlier this week, the conversation between Grand Master Jay, Metro Council President David James and the Attorney General was productive,” the statement read. “The Attorney General reiterated his commitment to a thorough and independent investigation into the death of Ms. Taylor, but he did not comment on any specifics related to the timeline of the investigation.”
Cameron also tweeted a statement about the ongoing protests Saturday afternoon urging that the focus of the demonstrations be “the desire for truth,” not violence.
“Those who are gathering in Louisville today to protest, we understand the desire for truth and ask that to be the focus of demonstrations, not violence. We continue to work diligently in pursuit of the truth by conducting an independent investigation into the death of Ms. Taylor.”
Grand Master Jay’s address came hours after three members of the NFAC were shot after a militia member’s gun accidentally discharged in Baxter Park, before the downtown Louisville rally, according to Louisville Metro Police Chief Robert Schroeder.
