Pretty much what I predicted.

"Pretty much what I predicted."

Bullshit. You were flinging around murder charges for Officer Mattingly.

"The police want murder charges for Kenneth Walker, or at least attempted murder, and the BLM types want murder charges for Sgt. Mattingly."

That was irresponsible, it was dumb, it was unsupported, it was never going to happen because the facts and the law never supported those kinds of charges against any of those men. As for Walker, he may very well be facing re-instituted Attempted Murder charges against Officer Mattingly tomorrow.

"Abuse of no-knock warrants is real, even if the claims of "systemic racism" are not. "

It wasn't a no-knock warrant. It was changed that evening to "knock and announce" and that's exactly what the grand jury pivoted upon. They had a credible eyewitness, the same guy who admonished the police to "leave that girl alone", not unironically destroyed Walker's case. Once the LMPD had successfully announced, Walker lost safe harbor in Stand Your Ground. Furthermore, once Walker fired, Officer Mattingly had complete safe harbor in Stand Your Ground.

Again, this is just another example: you did no legwork, just bar talk borne of ignorance.

"Home invaders knocking repeatedly is common. Lots of times they are on drugs. They often think demons are chasing them. They often hope to get the people inside to open the door. Sometimes they are people with a grudge. Sometimes they look around to find something to break down the door with. Sometimes they use a decoy. Sometimes they are at the wrong address."

An example of how you attempted to introduce non-germane anecdotes into a very serious grand jury investigation with lives and property on the line.

"Your claims are interesting, certainly. I have seen a lot of narratives get turned around with better information."

This is just sick. Sick.

"(Mattingly) has a dog in the fight to make the warrant service seem as reasonable as possible. Cynics might say the police wanted to break in before someone answered the door."

Just garbage. Awful. You used to be a really good poster. I suggest you see an MD.
