Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden condemned the indictment against an ex-Kentucky cop for shooting into the apartment next to Breonna Taylor’s, saying the call for equal justice was “not answered.”

The former vice president said Taylor, who was killed in a botched police drug raid in March, was “shot in her own home by the police.”

“In the wake of her tragic death, we mourn with her mother, family, and community and ask ourselves whether justice could be equally applied in America,” Biden said in a statement. “I know for so many people, today’s decision does not answer that call.”

Biden’s statement issued late Wednesday was in response to a grand jury’s decision not to indict for murder the Louisville officers involved in Taylor’s shooting.

One officer, Brett Hankison, was indicted on a charge of wanton endangerment for firing shots into the apartment adjoining Taylor’s.

The announcement led to protests in Louisville and other cities across the country, including New York.

Two police officers in Louisville were shot during the demonstrations Wednesday evening and are recovering after suffering non-life-threatening injuries.

In his statement, Biden noted that a federal investigation into the shooting is continuing, but called for measures to be taken immediately.

“We do not need to wait for the final judgment of that investigation to do more to deliver justice for Breonna. We know what is necessary,” he said.

“We need to start by addressing the use of excessive force, banning chokeholds, and overhauling no-knock warrants,” he continued.

Biden also condemned violent backlash, saying he understands that people are “frustrated and they have a right to peacefully protest, but violence is never acceptable.”

He and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, echoed the rallying cries of Taylor’s supporters, saying “we must continue to speak Breonna Taylor’s name.”

“We must never stop speaking Breonna’s name as we work to reform our justice system, including overhauling no-knock warrants,” Harris said in a Twitter post.

President Trump also addressed the protests, calling for “law and order” and offering prayers for the two police officers who were shot.

“Praying for the two police officers that were shot tonight in Louisville, Kentucky,” he tweeted. “The Federal Government stands behind you and is ready to help.”
