She suffered the consequences of running with black market dealers.
At the same time, the city is dealing with the consequences of no knock raids.

Yeah it's pretty obvious she is not the sweet innocent person the media wants to make her out as. She was definitely involved in some shady shite. Which is why her family getting 12 mill is so outrageous

That doesn't mean she deserved to die.
Of all the bullshite going on, this case is one that could bring about reasonable reform. If the police weren't involved in implementing some bullshite procedure that should have never happened....the city wouldn't have settled for 12mil.

I have a few relatives that are worth way less than 12 million.

This isn't a situation like in Atlanta where Kathryn Johnston was killed by APD in 2006 on a no-knock warrant.
The LPD knew exactly which apartment they were entering. Homeboy started shooting, so they returned fire.

She has her boyfriend to blame for her death. Shooting at police officers executing a warrant isn't the best way to keep others in the home safe.

bullshite procedure? Is that what we're calling valid search warrants now?

They shouldn't have.

He conveniently left out the part where Breonna's boyfriend shot at the cops

You skipped the part where the cops knocked, possibly announced, entered the home, and one cop was shot in the leg.
I wasn’t hiding it. I put it in the first sentence. But you are correct.

Thank you. So based on this, still likely a bad shoot where the police are still trying to hide some shite?
I think it’s more accurately an embarrassing shoot. NC Tigah posted a couple of pictures of officers involved in the warrant and two of them were equipped with body cameras despite the department’s statement that they weren’t.
I think that the fact that one of them is fired and the officer that applied for the warrant was transferred (?)/under review speaks to some sloppy warrant application stuff.

I'd love to know how they came to a figure of $12MM. Let's say she made $50k/year (she didn't).
It’s a nonsensical award.

1) The cops had previously arrested a drug runner who was using a rental car that was rented by Breonna. The drug runner was running drugs for her supposed ex-boyfriend at the time. 2) When the cops came to the apartment and knocked, there was enough time for Breonna and her new boyfriend to get out of bed and put clothes on before the cops entered and the shooting started. 3) Breonna’s new boyfriend shot at the cops first, which caused them to return fire. 4) The shot selection by the cops is what is most questionable from an investigators point of view, not whether the shooting was justified, per se. One of the cops was shooting haphazardly through a side window, it was alleged.
None of that was left out. Your number 2 is relatively meaningless.

quote:Yes, they beat on the door in the middle of the night, without ever announcing that they were police. Yes, the cops CLAIM that they did announce themselves. Everyone else in the vicinity says they did not.
The cops knocked.

They weren't asleep in their beds.
quote:Someone NOT in a police uniform (first-man-in was wearing street clothes) breaks down MY door and runs into MY home with a drawn weapon, I am shooting his arse, too.
The boyfriend fired the first shot and hit a police officer.
quote:That depends upon how we define the term “wrong.” Yes, it was the house/residence listed on the warrant, but it was also a house/residence that had absolutely no relationship whatsoever to the crime being investigated. Law-enforcement had already investigated whether “suspicious mail” was being sent to that address, and the Postal Service had affirmatively-refuted that assertion.
They weren't at the wrong house.
The simple fact is that there was ZERO reason for the type of late-night, SWAT service of a warrant that we saw here. You watch the house, approach the resident when she is at home at a reasonable hour and you search the premises like a civilized human being.

Side A:
Breonna Taylor, an EMT who loved serving her community, was sleeping one night when the police (conditioned by years of systematic racism) barged in to her apartment in the middle of the night unannounced and opened fire, killing an innocent person instantly.
Side B:
Breonna Taylor was a criminal. She associated with criminals and put herself in a bad situation. The police executed a legal no-knock warrant and announced themselves upon entry to her apartment. When met with gunfire, they reciprocated, unintentionally killing her.
The Probable Truth:
Breonna Taylor and the people she associated with were not saints. The police had a lead on a good bust and upon breaking down her door in the middle of the night, shite hit the fan. Not having any idea who was busting in to the apartment, the boyfriend opened fire. Taylor is killed in the crossfire.
A girl is killed basically so nobody would have time to flush drugs down the toilet. Our priorities are f'ed up.

If witnesses could hear knocks, they can hear announcements, which has been proven that they did hear knocks and verbal commands.
It has not been proven.

So she was holding illegal money from a drug dealer. Means warrant was valid on concerns of involvement.
So the Louisville police recovered the money?

There’s been plenty of police misinformation as well. Most of it has been repeated in this thread.

This is probably pretty close to the reality.

You hang with a known drug trafficker, you have a relationship with the criminal.

This is pretty thin evidence. I have some work acquaintances that have been under surveillance for their connections to drug dealers. I’ve never smoked a joint. But I’ve ridden in a car with them and been on the phone with them dozens of times. Should my house be raided?
