Something I noticed on my second watch of Turning Red: look at the move Tyler makes when Mei is “keeping her mom busy” in the climax.

That is absolutely either a Kamehameha or a Hadouken. Tyler is a goddamn weeb. Unsurprising, considering the anime influences in Turning Red go all the way to to the top. Thank you Domee Shi for this blessing.

Across America, the killings of unarmed African Americans have driven racial justice protests since May. But among the killings that sparked the protests, Taylor’s stands alone as the one where no charges have been filed.

In Minneapolis, the cop who knelt on George Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes was fired, arrested and charged – along with officers who did not stop him. In Georgia the father and son who confronted, shot and killed Ahmaud Arbery – a black man who was jogging – were arrested and charged. In Atlanta, the cop who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks – a black man who had been sleeping in his car at a Wendy’s drive-thru before cops showed up and confronted him – was fired and charged with murder.

But in Louisville, justice has been elusive.

The three officers that police say discharged their weapons in the incident that killed Taylor remain free and have not been charged with any crimes. Two still have their jobs.

Louisville replaced its police chief and promised police reforms. One of the officers involved, Brett Hankison, was fired last month with the police chief writing that his conduct showed “an extreme indifference to the value of human life”. The city has adopted Breonna’s law, a ban on “no-knock” raids like the one that killed Taylor.

But there are still no charges. So protesters keep marching through the streets shouting “say her name!” every night while NBA players respond to press conference questions by calling for justice for Taylor.

State and city officials have asked for patience as investigations into Taylor’s death continue, but many people are fed up and frustrated.

“Here’s the thing: for black people in America, it’s always wait for justice. It’s always wait. And how much longer must we wait?” said Hannah Drake, a Louisville poet and activist involved in the protests.

Jecorey Arthur, who at 28 is the youngest person to be elected to the city’s metro council and will sit on the body starting in January, said Louisville was still “very much ” operated by “plantation capitalists and plantation dynasties” and is unsurprised by the slow action on Taylor’s case.

“I’m not surprised Breonna Taylor’s taken more than four months to be brought to justice because we’ve taken more than four hundred years to be brought to justice as black people,” he said. “I’m not surprised by anything any more. I’m actually surprised by how surprised other people are about this process and about this lack of justice.”
