The failure to indict any officers for the killing of Breonna Taylor illustrates the systemic racism embedded in American society, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees in a recent staff meeting. .

Zuckerberg weighed in on the case Thursday and said he understands that some employees are having "a really hard time" processing the ruling.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced Wednesday that no officers were charged for their role in Taylor's death on March 13.

Former officer Brett Hankison was indicted on three counts of "wanton endangerment," while two other officers involved were not indicted.

Taylor, a 26-year-old Louisville nurse, was shot several times after officers executed a search warrant at her home in March looking for illegal drugs.

Officers said they identified themselves before entering Taylor's home, but her boyfriend Kenneth Walker said officers never said they were police before battering down the door. .

Since Cameron's announcement, protestors have occupied Kentucky streets, and two police officers have been shot during the unrest.

Our hearts go out to the two @LMPD officers who were shot.

Singer Mandy Moore tweeted that "Breonna Taylor and her family deserve justice." Comedian Chris Rock said on Good Morning America on Thursday that he's upset about the decision. .

"It seems that not only should the cops have been charged, but it seems like the whole chain of command should have been reprimanded for such a heinous act," Rock said.
