A former Louisville police officer indicted in connection with the March drug raid that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor is accused of "the moral equivalent of hitting somebody with your golf club," Fox News senior judiciary analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano told "Your World" Wednesday.

Napolitano told host Charles Payne that though the officers "had to use some force in order to stay alive" that night, their actions were "a little too aggressive for self-defense.

"If I could have had my way, if I were the grand jury ... I would have indicted all three of them -- for sure, the one who fired the fatal shot," he added. "Why that didn't happen is something we won't know until there is a trial and we get to see the transcripts of what went on before the grand jury."

Napolitano added that it is "not a crime to be in a place where crimes are committed. It is not a crime to associate with people who commit crimes.

"It is certainly not justifiable to have a target on your back, in this case, literally target. It appears [however] that this was a case of self-defense on the part of these police officers. That is what the jury found."
