1. She was involved in criminal activity which brought the cops to her front door.
2. She was cheating on her man, who was in jail at the time.

1a. The cops wouldn’t have been there had she not been involved with criminal activity.

"While the department had received court approval for a no-knock entry, the orders were changed before the raid to knock and announce, meaning that the police had to identify themselves."

In Kentucky, once police announce, you do not have safe harbor under Stand Your Ground. In fact, after Walker fired, the only SYG belonged to Officer Mattingly. As it turns out, Officer Cosgrove fired the fatal shot; Officer Hankison missed St. Bre altogether.
That doesnt justify being shot
Although I generally support the police action in this matter based on what can be clarified of course thats contentious
It always is and police lie and District Attorneys lie
Rather than have the police lie down and be blamed for everything it might be time to reassess standard police procedure for knock or no knock raids and returning fire in the face of a threat
When I was a boy long ago seems like at least to my memory but Police did listen this and theres no question absolutely no question whatsoever that the police were less militaristic militarism in the police force needs to be not only discouraged but forbidden
