The city of Louisville, Kentucky, has agreed to pay $12 million to the family of Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old EMT killed by police six months ago, to settle a wrongful death lawsuit, family attorney Sam Aguilar confirmed to CNN. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer is expected to announce the settlement later Tuesday in a joint press conference with the Taylor family's attorneys. Speaking to News Radio 840 WHAS on Tuesday morning, Fischer declined to comment on the settlement, saying, "I don't have anything to announce on that at this time."


So stupid to put “EMT” in every article like “she had a job.” She wasn’t even working as an EMT.

Did she at least have an EMT certificate?

Looks like living with and dating a dangerous, drug dealing felon pays off after all -- at least to your descendants.

This might have saved taxpayers $12 million if they had them on.

What I am interested in now is to see how long Ben Crump hangs around this case. Very unusual for the $$ to come first.

And I'll be called certain things for this but it needs to be said. How does a nationally known attorney not have some decent command of the English language?

I predict the following amongst Breonna Taylor’s family:
- way more tattoos
- bedazzled phone-cases
- Jamaica and or The Bahamas
- did I mention tattoos?

She did in 2016. I’d guess her certificate wasn’t current. Just assuming.

Crimp is bragging right now it's the largest settlement in history.

Wasn’t this part proven to be false? Why is the media propping up someone who the police had recorded phone call conversations of discussing money laundering and drug trafficking? Oh, because the majority of Americans can’t be bothered with facts. Got it.

I will admit to having lost track of the supposed facts in this case.

What is the fairest summary of what actually happened, IYO?

I noticed that. Guy is worried about whether its the biggest ever for a black female. Then he wondered whether it was the biggest for a black person. You know, the stuff that matters.

Because there’s no proof it. If there was, they wouldn’t have settled for $12M. (They still would have settle too high.)

That or he's doing some free advertising that he helped get the largest settlement in history.

Plus he did some campaigning for Kamala

My summary:

Breonna was seeing Walker, the guy who shot the police as they entered. She was still having a relationship with the drug guy (he was with three women at the time, including Breonna).

Police tied Breonna’s car to the drug dealer and saw the dealer used her address for bank statements and a phone. That seems to be the primary basis for the warrant for her house which seems thin. The stuff about suspicious mail seems to be a contrivance.

The police claim they knocked and announced. Most witnesses support the knocking and not the announcing. Three police officers empty 37 shots into the apartment, mostly blindly.

In phone conversations after the shooting, the dealer says he gave Breonna money to hold for him. None of the money was recovered at her apartment. No drug paraphernalia was recovered there either.
