“We need to start by addressing the use of excessive force, banning chokeholds, and overhauling no-knock warrants,” he continued.


There were a number of things that went wrong here, but they are none of the things listed - unless perhaps he is referring to the response by the boyfriend as excessive force.

Maybe if the boyfriend didn’t use her as a human shield as he was firing at cops..........just a thought.

How is returning fire excessive force?

The whole idea of the Times and their statements ignore the facts.
Breonna Taylor was not in bed, she was standing next to her boyfriend who was shooting at the cops. Were the cops supposed to just stand there?

There was no “No Knock” warrant, the cops were announced, at least one neighbor testified to that.

There was nothing botched about the “raid”. Had the boyfriend not shot a cop, then the cops would have done their search and left but shooting a cop is never a good idea, they WILL shoot back.

Had Breonna Taylor not been involved in drug trade none of this would have likely happened.

What I don’t understand is why didn’t the cops have cameras?
