I watched a live feed of this ‘peaceful’ protest yesterday. The speaker was leading the mob in a rant that was outright revolutionary egging on the ‘oppressed’ black citizenry, laying down the gauntlet for armed confrontation in 4 weeks time if the DA doesn’t give them what they think is appropriate justice.
If it was a illegal raid, so be it and issue appropriate justice.
The actions taken yesterday by this mob are past their demanded resolution.
They were exercising their 2nd amendment rights in an inappropriate, threatening manner that has to waken the silent silent majority (white, brown, yellow,red, and black) into action in four weeks. If not our nation is toast.
Their actions yesterday ARE revolutionary and NOT in a good way.
I fear the tipping point is racing to resolution.
Prepare now for what’s coming.
yldstrk - they were NOT at the wrong house. The warrant they had was for Taylor’s home and the officers went to the correct home. The reason the media has been perpetuating this hype about it being the “wrong house” is that the drug dealer “friend” of Taylor did not live with her - he lived elsewhere. The issue here is that her drug-dealer friend was having drugs shipped to Taylor’s address and it was suspected that there were drugs at her residence - hence the reason for the search warrant.
Because she was an innocent victim of Keystone Coppery and a no-knock forced entry at the wrong address.
Her color has nothing to do with it.
You should dial back your emotional reaction and balance it with your ability to think rationally.
“Patriots exercising their god given and second amendment protected right to keep and bear arms.”
Now just imagine . . .
These folks got together in an armed march in Chicago demanding the hoodlums, criminals, thieves and the rest of the lousy DinDoos were all pushed out of town or locked up.
I bet the BabyMommas would be out in force screeching “He a good boy!”, “turn his life around”, “goin college ya’ll” . . .
One time offer of a re-do.
freeandfreezing - you left out the small detail that Taylor’s boyfriend who was with her at the time fired the first shot during the altercation and struck one of the police officers. I agree it was questionable that the officers would enter without identifying themselves and that seems to be the only thing that makes this a suspect incident. Otherwise it is an open/shut case. But you can blame Kentucky for even allowing no-knock search warrants. I suspect the only case they are allowed are for drug busts where time and again evidence has been destroyed before the officers can enter.
I think thats “ don’t do illegal stuff”.
They already are pretty good at “ don’t do legal stuff “.
I never heard that, I just assumed she was alone and in bed, the police came in and shot her.
There are other cases where homeowners shot first in the mistaken belief that intruders were not police. In one case in Massachusetts the attempted prosecution of the homeowner failed since the court found it was entirely reasonable for the homeowner to use deadly force on someone breaking into their home at night.
No knock search warrants are a bad idea and really unnecessary with modern surveillance and investigation techniques. They endanger police officers and citizens needlessly.
If the same standards of justice were applied to police officers and civilians in terms of their culpability and responsibility for mistakes in deadly force situations few police officers would ever go on a no knock raid.
No mention that one shot three others “accidentally?” I guess that would not fit the narrative.
kanawa - The search warrant the officer had was for Taylor’s address. It was not the “wrong address”. Please read this USATODAY article to be fully informed....
They were not just Greeks who stole mathematics from Africa, they were non-yamaluk wearing Greek homos, according to Rev. Al.
Again, I agree. On the other side is my belief that if there was a good case to arrest the officers, the mayor or governor would be jumping on it for the press and the Antifa.
The lack of arrests or other prosecutorial actions show that there might not be any case there. Derek Chauvin was a good democrat in good standing with the union, but the case was strong enough to fire and arrest him. I am sure that this mayor would be happy to throw the cops overboard if they could.
Just because it didn’t happen to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Many people who are not criminals at all have been wrongly raided and killed by police.
A suspect maybe flushing a ziplock down a toilet IS NO justification for police storming any homes in the middle of the night. Pure insanity and violation of property rights
Were that allegation true, then the drugs would have been there at 11AM the following morning too, or the surveillance team would have seen them being taken out of the house.
But having a night time no knock raid seemed like a good idea to somebody, instead of just showing up the next day and executing the search warrant with uniformed officers.
Note also how tenuous the legal theory is. If the alleged friend was just having Ms. Taylor accept packages for them and she didn't open the packages, or was not aware of their contents, then the police had no case against her. In that situation, which is likely, their case against her has no more merit than a case against UPS, Fedex, or the postal service since they too "possessed" drugs along the way.
Does anybody think that the police would have launched a no knock raid against the local post office?
Well, there is no doubt this was a botched job by the Louisville police and perhaps no-knock search warrants are a bad idea, but they are legal and potentially used effectively.
Also, as I understand from the officer’s testimony, they expected Taylor to be home alone that evening and did not realize there was another boyfriend sleeping with her at the time of the search. Perhaps they expected the search to go very casually and were met with a surprise when an armed man began opening fire upon them?
Not one mention that an NFAC discharged his weapon and shot 3 others.
It was a peaceful misfire.....lol
STOP CAPITALIZING “BLACK”!
Unfortunately they are definitely legal. They shouldn’t be. But that ship has sunk. Everybody except the police and the judges hates them. Unfortunately it’s the police and the judges that get to decide.
I doubt it. We have a long established history of lack of accountability for cops. On the rare instances they are charge the prosecutors “mysteriously” omit good evidence and the cop gets off. Because in the long run prosecutors have to work with the cops, and it’s not in their best interest to damage that relationship.
