The truth matters, at least it appears to with Charles Barkley. The basketball legend is once again speaking out, this time about the police shooting of Breonna Taylor. While essentially everyone else in the sports community is afraid to say anything that deviates one millimeter from the Black Lives Matter narrative, Barkley appears to know some of the details leading up to Taylor's death and isn't afraid to share his thoughts.
On Thursday night during the TNT pregame show for game four of the Western Conference Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets, Barkley told Shaquille O'Neal that he does not consider the death of Breonna Taylor to be in the same vein as other high-profile shootings.
Turns out the detectives had good reason to suspect Taylor and her boyfriend were involved in the drug business and were able to obtain a warrant to search Taylor's apartment. After the police knocked on the door and announced their entry, Taylor's boyfriend began shooting at the officers, striking one officer in the leg. The police returned fire and Taylor was shot and killed in the gun battle.
Sad that a young woman lost her life, but her boyfriend didn't seem to care about her life when he began firing his weapon at police officers.
"And I just feel bad that the young lady lost her life," Barkley continued. "But we do have to take into account that her boyfriend shot at the cops and shot a cop. So like I say, even though I am really sorry she lost her life, I just don't think we can put this in the same situation as George Floyd or Ahmaud Arbery."

And now you know why Mister Barkley is known as Sir Charles by many in Alabama ... he is an honest man-in-full.
Not according to hannity. We lost a loving caring er/emt nurse tragically. None of these people are ever assigned any responsibility for what happened. Weird how everybody was just minding their own business until the cops showed up.
And yet the city gave her family $11,000,000.00. Now who is stupid again?
Well, maybe he said that, but he definitely said this:

Yes, I know the crazy, stupid dingleberry said that, but I don’t imagine that anyone here would actually do it.
Side note: How does Snopes get to “Mostly True” on that one when they provide the exact quote that verifies the inquiry? LOL
Snopes, how about just a simple “YEP. He did say that.” or even simpler, “true”. They can’t help but provide cover for the libby buddies with a “true, but...”
