Forget bad apples: Police shoot people like Jacob Blake and Breonna Taylor because of a bad system.

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

So I ask you, when is it permissible for the police to kill your daughter? What details would reasonably justify her death for you?


My daughter does not live with a drug dealer so it won’t be a problem

Oh, they what to push the whole “systemic racism” idea?

How about this: Black people commit crimes because of ghetto culture and they need to fix that.

Wasn’t there a criminal trial here that showed everything media reported was BS?

It was a drug house, he thought the gangs were coming to get their money or drugs. Sounds like a nice place.

Perhaps the author should seek psychiatric help, because months go by where I don't think of Breonna Taylor. Living with a drug dealer who used her as a human shield. It's not complicated.

Pro Tip: Don’t sleep with armed drug dealers who shoot at police and you won’t have to worry about your safety.

Nice and succinct.

And how about calling him out for apparently using her as a human shield?

They love to report that for the Moslems in foreign countries at war, so why not here?

So much wrong with this barfapalooza.

Taylor was part of a drug trafficking ring.

She had lost her EMT job and pssibly her license.

She returned a rental car with a dead body in the trunk.

Was she even investigated for that?

When police showed up, with a lawful warrant, her drug dealer boyfriend, using her as a human shield, shot a cop.

They returned fire.

Jacob Blake violated a PFA and showed up at the home of the woman that he sexually assaulted.

When police tried to arrest him for the sexual assault warrant he pulled a knife, tried to stab the police officers and then tried to get in the car, which had at least one of his ex's children inside.

He was armed, with a knife, when he was shot.

Blake and Taylor are not comparable situations. She was wrong place/wrong time/bad system (maybe), he was in the act of committing a crime or attempting to.

Breona may have been the closest they had to an innocent black person being killed by cops.

She was always portrayed as a good happy nurse.

But neglected to mention her loser drug-riddled gangsta boyfriend she was shacking up with.

Evidently, the boyfriend wasn't the person the cops were looking for. The cops did a no knock and got in a gun fight with the boyfriend/house guest.

Well, now I know what the term “THE BIG LIE!” is actually about. “Comply and not die.” Guessing a crime is no longer a crime?

Breonna Taylor was involved with drug dealers, and was shot while her drug dealer boyfriend was firing a handgun at police, who were attempting to make a legal arrest.

Here’s my questions for the race baiters:

Had Breonna Taylor been so white you had to wear shades to look her way, would she likely have been hit in these circumstances?

Laws are enacted by democratically elected representatives of the People to keep public order. The police are tasked with enforcing those laws, and it’s not their role to select which laws are naughty or nice — that’s what the legislature and courts are for. When police attempt to do their job, but are shot at by armed felons engaged in felonies, what are they supposed to do?

Taylor chose to involve herself in crime and associate with criminals. That is what got her killed. Enough of this garbage.
