I know it’s complicated but the police messed up something for sure. I think the BLM people are crazy and think we still live in Jim Crow America but when cases like this happen the justice system needs to act.

What they did was not illegal...and that’s the problem.
Policing in America definitely needs reform.
From no knock warrants to civil asset forfeiture to the increased militarization to excessive fines for petty shite (inspection checkpoints), shite needs to change. It won’t, but it should.

Blows my mind. They murdered a young hero in her own home.

How do you make a mistake like that when serving a warrant? It blows my mind

I'm abput as blue line bootlicker as you can get. Police work sucks and ita hard. I dont believe in no knock warrants.

It absolutely sucks to do things the right way and it takes longer and people may suffer, but that is a trade off.

I guess when her boyfriend shot first and hit a cop in the leg, all of the other cops should have dropped their weapons and put their hands in the air?

Or you know. Not breaking down the wrong door in civilian clothing without announcing themselves as police....
It honestly isn’t that much to ask.

I'm not taking a position on the matter one way or another, but the allegations from Taylor's family is that the police did not properly announce their identity, thus she and her boyfriend thought it was a home invasion situation. If they didn't properly announce, then I could certainly see why the boyfriend took the action he did. OTOH if they did properly announce, then you're exactly right.

I don't know all of the facts of the case but from what I understand someone or several people need to be held accountable. As I recall, the suspect police were looking for had already been apprehended when the No-Knock occurred. This in and of itself is a huge red flag on the entire department and their internal communications. Was it murder? Probably not by the letter of the law, but I think some other type of manslaughter or reckless endangerment/negligence charge should be applied and someone(s) needs to do time. This case should be ground zero and a rally point for everyone of every color, race, creed, ect. to call for an end to No Knock warrants. I am very sympathetic to what happened to her and would have supported peaceful protests of her death but George was chosen and I can't support those riots.

I'm keeping my coat for another 4 -1/2 years.

No hell they didn’t; every flipppin homicide by the police is not the crime of Murder, and this one certainly isn’t. Look for other crimes to fit if you wish - fine - but it’s not Murder.

Court records show how police ended up raiding the home of shooting victim Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky. Authorities suggested that the actual subject of their narcotics investigation was using her residence to get mail, and store drugs and money, according to records obtained by USA Today.

That suspect, Jamarcus Glover, picked up a “suspected USPS package” from her apartment in January, then drove to a “known drug house,” Detective Joshua Jaynes wrote in an affidavit. A U.S. postal investigator confirmed that Glove had been getting packages at Taylor’s home, the investigator wrote.

see if you can understand this. The cops had a warrant for that apartment stating that it was being used for drug trafficking. They served the warrant, were immediately fired on and an officer was struck. They returned fire and that's when the woman was struck. The cops did literally nothing wrong. If you want to blame something, blame no knock warrants. The cops involved were serving a warrant, got shot at by what they believed at the time to be a drug dealer, and returned fire. Did you read the article?

Yeah, this case is pretty fricked. Who's to say she even knew that illegal packages were coming to her house? Ending no knock warrants, civil forfeiture are things I definitely agree with.
