In September of that year, Cameron revealed a grand jury decided to charge former LMPD Det. Brett Hankison with three counts of wanton endangerment, but no charges were filed in relation to Taylor\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>The NAACP said Cameron \u201cfailed to meet his obligation to enforce the law equally and fairly,\u201d quoting Cameron as saying \u201cI don\u2019t care what anybody says in the national media when it comes to supporting and defending law enforcement, we are going to do that. We are going to back the blue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hankison, along with Joshua Jaynes, Kyle Meany and Kelly Hanna Goodlett were the four officers charged for obstruction of action.<\/p>\n<p>Hanna Goodlett plead guilty to one count of conspiracy during a federal hearing on Aug. 23.
