There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of Breonna Taylor. It took months for news of her killing at the hands of the Louisville Police Department to reach the national media
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.com ...
Breona Taylor chose to befreind, have a romantic relationships, associate with, and live with known drug dealers, and when the police came for thier arrest, and they started shooting at the police, from inside Breona Taylor’s house, and the police, defending themselves, fired back, Breona was a casualty.
The lifestyle she chose, not unjust policing, is why she is dead.
MSNBC = Many Stupid Nimrods Broadcasting Ctrap
Funny how Duncan Lemp, shot in his bed by Maryland cops the same week as Breonna Taylor still hasn’t made the national news agenda. Breonna Taylor is getting more Maryland coverage than he is.
There is more than one bad system.
Yeah, don’t ever let facts get in the way of your false narrative.
Boyfriend shooting was not drug dealing ex boyfriend that Breonna Taylor was accused of holding packages for.
Taylor had also leased a car, loaned it to that ex, and it was found with a man shot to death inside.
I have never read that the boyfriend who shot at the cops was criminally involved. It is very possible that he thought there was a break in.
Taylor was involved in bad stuff with her ex, and it was a continuing relationship of some kind.
Well, last year there were 800 murders in Chicago, 500 in NYC, and 400 in L.A. That’s 1,700 killings in only three Democrat-run cities that are provided to taxpayers free of charge.
A daughter who lives with a drug dealer...
A daughter who harbors the cash AND the stash of the drug dealer....
A daughter who thought she could do as she pleased.... regardless of the criminal activity she was embroiled in.
MY sympathy meter isn’t budging.
The cops forgot that they were supposed to just let the perp kill them.
They definitely need to be prosecuted for their memory loss.../ $@rc
Two things at play here, police procedure and police corruption. The man sleeping with Breonna Taylor was not a drug dealer. He may well have known she was a drug dealer which is why he did not assume it was cops that had just broken in the front door. The cops may have been within the law to kick in the door, it is a grey area how long they are required to wait after screaming through a door at 4AM. When they do this they are taking a risk that an occupant will open fire on them, which is a completely logical, and legal, thing to do if unknown parties kick in your door at 4AM. Police procedure has created a situation where it is possible for a homeowner to be killed, a cop to be shot, and no crime was committed.
Next thing to look at is corruption. There is significant evidence out there that the cops cut a lot of corners obtaining their warrant out to and including outright lies. Breonna Taylor and guest may not have been good people but neither are the cops who obtained a break in warrant based on sketchy informants and police lies.
While I fully understand the political nature of the federal charges I am happy to see cops being held to account for fraudulent warrant applications.
I am no a fan of many “miranda” type judicial rules.
I agree the cops nned to have standards and rules and need to operate with adherence to them.
When they don’t I think they should be held accounatble, fined, suspended or dismissed.
I am not in agreement that any criminal facts uncovered have to be ignored merwly due to police failure to operate by certain standards and rules.
To me the two things belong on separate legal tracks, and while it should be assured that cops failing to follow standards and procedures need to have one legal trach, I do not believe that track should alter the legal facts of crimes uncovered by the police. Nor do I believe in a “civil” track for politce who fail to follow standards and procedures. The only other legal track for the cops should be if additinally they committed a crime, but unless specified by the law not following procedures and standards is not a crime, and without a crime committed by the policy I see no standard for civil complaint action.
If government offocials of any kind technically follow the law, but in some way fail to follow standards and procedure they are supposed to follow, it is in most cases not a crime AND nor a means for civil action against them - unless they are the police. Its a government dual standard.
“She returned a rental car with a dead body in the trunk.”
C’mon, don’t be judgmental.
We’ve all done that at one time or another.
Wait, never mind...
Leftists and their easily malleable Black racist puppets, MUST HAVE THEIR REVENGE !!!!
