I know that was a terrible tragedy, but can you remind me of the details of that?
LMPD lied to obtain a warrant for her apartment, claiming that the US Postmaster verified suspicious packages from a drug dealer she knew in her past was at her home. The US Postmaster has since publicly come out and said they never confirmed that information (as written in the warrant) and that another agency had inquired and they found no evidence of that occurring. LMPD performed a no knock warrant in plain clothes with no camera/video. Her boyfriend thought it was someone trying to break in and he fired a shot. They fired back. She was killed. They also did not offer her medical assistance as she laid dying in her apartment. The boyfriend was initially arrested for attempted murder of an officer, but the charges were dropped as evidence showed he was just a man exercising his 2nd Amendment right to defend his home (as a non-felon, he was perfectly within his means to legally have that firearm as well). No drugs were found in the apartment. The drug dealer involved with the case had already been detained and was in jail when the warrant was executed. And it took the George Floyd incident to even bring hers to light. LMPD was in the process of sweeping it under the rug.
Considering Mitchell spends some time here still in Louisville, I can understand his concern.

I’ve never stepped foot in Kentucky, much less Louisville, and I’m concerned. That’s a horrible story. It’s an inexcusable mistake and everyone involved should be prosecuted. But it was a mistake, done out of incompetence rather than racism. Her being black was not a contributing factor.
I totally support police reform and increasing the standards for LEOs everywhere (though I actually think we should increase funding for police in order to both provide better training and attracting a higher level of candidates). But perpetuating this myth that black people are being hunted by police is just wrong. And dangerous. For everybody.
Btw, 9 murders in Chicago this weekend (making 433 for the year), including a cute 7-year-old black boy. He was in own home. Killed by a stray bullet in crossfire. Likely gang-related. I wonder how many NBA players will have his name on their shoes tonight?
