“Black emergency medical technician,” drug user and dealer, and prostitute.

So the "boyfriend" who initiated the firefight that resulted ihn her death remains uncharged.

And the media will never allow any reporting on Taylor's alleged involvement with a major drug dealer.

She will remain St. Breonna, forever, with statues, murals and likely even schols named after her.

Wasn’t there a suggestion that the round that hit her....was not from the police weapons?

At the bottom of the article it says:

“Reporting by Kanishka Singh in Bengaluru”

Bengaluru is a city in India. What the...?

The companies I worked for even long before cancel culture would have fired any employee who became well known to the public in any negative aspect, no matter how benign. I sat in on board meetings and realized that people running companies are terrified of anything they can’t control. As a hypothetical, if an employee mentioned something at a party about the company and it made it into the press that employee, unless highly placed and politically protected, would be gone soon. Sooner if the comment was very negative, but likely with the next layoff or reorganization if the comment was only slightly negative. (Anything that makes it into the news is likely to be framed in a negative way even if it wasn’t intended to be negative. Framing is: Trump walks on water to retrieve the Pope’s hat. The press reports that Trump can’t swim.)

The local school board sent around an email recommending that no teacher have any online presence. The email stated that if something a teacher posted became a trending item that the employee may be fired.

I think that the police are doing the same thing that companies and the school board are doing. They are trying to craft and control their public narrative. Any tool the cancel culture crowd can use against them will be eliminated. That’s why any cop who shoots anyone is most likely either going to be fired or induced to leave.

Of course. The cop is obviously NOT guilty. This is because there are street people in the streets carrying signs and the politicians are eager to please them.

I thank God that we have a source for the WHOLE story which we can then contrast to the “edited” version which appears in in our lamestream press.

I really hope that we get the chance to give to the media what they well and truly deserve soon.

What we will give them will not be pretty. But soooooo deserved.

and the officer that prepared the warrant for the botched raid during which she was killed

Why is he getting the axe? Heck, there were certainly several officers whose work went into creating the request for the warrant. Are all of them going, or just one of them? Although, he'll certainly have an easy fight against the city, assuming all the warrant evidence is factual. It was certainly good enough to get a judge to sign off on the warrant! (Is the judge getting 'fired' too?!)

“assuming all the warrant evidence is factual”

Bad assumption. The postal inspector publicly disputed the warrant information regarding the investigation of Ms. Taylor’s mail.

Also, their surveillance of Taylor was so sloppy/old that they did not know about her new BF and expected her to be home alone.

Plus the decision to serve a no-knock warrant by knocking and then waiting an insufficient amount of time for a person to actually answer the door before breaking it down, thus creating the conditions that resulted in shots being fired. Basically, they gave the citizen exactly enough time to arm himself in preparation for answering a late night knock at the door, but not enough time to actually get to the door and ascertain that it was cops and not criminals.

There were multiple incompetent actions on the part of the police that have left them strung up by their own petard.
