Taylor discovered that if you handle snakes long enough, your getting bit. It’s illustrative that this is the best BLM case in the last 12 years.

I’m not a fan of no-knock raids, but this has been proven to not be an instance of this since the police did knock and announce themselves.

The boyfriend has a legitimate defense for mistaken his need to protect themselves, but the grand jury should look at him. Night time raids, should be the exception, not the rule. I think they are, but they should be carefully used.

If you wouldn’t get in a car with a drunk driver, then you are smart enough not to get into a relationship with a drug dealer. Both increase your chances of becoming dead no matter what your day job is.

Do not conduct unnecessarily risky police operations. That is the lesson.

Regardless of Taylor's past associations, there was no need whatsoever for a middle-of-the-night raid on that residence.

All these poor black people being killed by police! If only there was some way to avoid interacting with the police to begin with!

This should never have been about "racist" police or Taylor's associations. As Rand Paul correctly assessed, this is an opportunity for police improvement.

A woman whom the officers never even saw as they fired randomly into the apt was obviously not killed because of her race.

That's a broad statement. Let's say you have the whereabouts of a violent criminal suspect and reason to believe he or she's going to be moving soon. Do you make a middle-of-the-night raid and remove a violent criminal from the streets or wait for a more "safe" occasion? What if the violent criminal shoots and kills someone the next day?

There is no law enforcement situation that is without risk. You are asking people who may be looking at long-term incarceration to submit to authority and often weapons and violence are the result. I would rather have a civil society that accepts and tries to alleviate risk than a free-for-all slum where people are afraid to leave their house...but at least there's no police violence.

It’s so funny watching people who call themselves conservatives or constitutionalist fail to understand how awful the war on drugs is.
And also support the violence of the state over the selling and usage of a drug.

They also fail to see that US policy on drugs helps act as the sole protector of violent cartel monopolies and violent gangs.

Don’t take my word for it. See what Milton Friedman thought about it.

That's the part of this that I don't understand, if liberals want to make this about race, are they going to acknowledge the correlation between black males and crime?

But for her previous association with a known drug dealer, Breonna would not have been in that situation.

Was the warrant racist? No.
Was the execution of the warrant racist? No.
Was the return fire by LEOs racist? No.

Race simply did not play a factor in this, and if it did, it was her ex's choice to live a life outside the law. Period.

Agreed, but do you honestly think legalizing even all drugs will destroy the black market? I doubt it would even phase it. This is more than just the war on drugs. This is a massive cultural issue we’re glossing over with feel-good racism and mass stupidity.

/\ THIS /\ should be the first, middle, and last thing that parents emphasize when they have 'that talk' with their children - especially black families.

I suspect a big part of 'the talk' instructe their kids on how 'racist' all cops are - and what they can do to 'make his job harder' - and "its ok to resist and curse and spit" at the the cops trying to maintain law and order.

I don't think this current level of violence and amorality of black youth can be attributed to anything but PISS POOR PARENTING - these welfare-whore 'parents' and creating little violent monsters.

Your terms of Violent & Criminal alter the equation. In fact, given your hypothetical, attempting to capture the perp in the middle of the day might constitute an unnecessarily risky police operation. The point is in planning, to ask why? To ask what procedure provides the best opportunity to succeed with the least risk involved.

Same result, same media coverage and same fricking destruction by dumbasses. We all seen it before the case goes to court ALL evidence is presented the court finds the cops innocent then the FAKE media instead of calming the mob ignites the mob for their own agenda. I would love to blow up every fricking media outlet in this country but of course I can't because the headline would be WHITE supremacist blows up shite. Lol

This is another lie. They knocked and identified themselves.

And do you think that’s not happening? No amount of planning is going to remove all risk. The why, in the hypothetical, would be to remove the violent element and minimize risk to the community.

I’m all for better preparation, training and vetting but that will come at more investment and better pay, which is never part of the thinking. And even then, there will have to be late night raids and risky operations that can involve police or innocents being hurt or killed. Especially so when the first instinct from those interacting with police is to attack.

I don’t think that is the sole lesson. There are many lessons in this.

1. The media is worthless, this story has at least 10 different sets of facts in every thread, mainly due to the media

2. When you make bad choices sometimes you die

3. The policy of raiding homes at 4 am is dangerous as frick for law enforcement and innocent civilians.

4. LMPD did the right thing in firing the retard officer that put 3 rounds in another apartment.
