So we're meant to believe that this racist police death squad breaks into the home, shoots the woman multiple times (and not the guy who shot at them, somehow), then flees the scene without calling for emergency services to attend to the wounded on site - which is protocol (including their own team member who the thug shot in the leg, requiring him to have emergency surgery to repair the severed artery in his leg)? Or did they stay on site and tell him to phone 911?

Additionally, while they were in possession of an no-knock warrant they didn't need to use it because they were there on a separate warrant (it's available to view online - her and her boyfriend's names are listed on it).

I'm not sure what has more holes in it: the poor woman's body or this entire story.

I mean, you've addressed literally none of the facts I've presented, instead using innuendo and suggestion based on nothing.

Talking about protocol - they told the ambulance that was standing by to leave an hour before going in, against protocol. They weren't wearing body cameras, against protocol. They left her without medical help for at least 20 minutes after shooting her multiple times.

They shot blindly into the apartment, and the surrounding apartments. They don't dispute this. It's why the endangerment charge was announced.

And of course her name was on the warrant - it was her apartment! She wasn't a suspect.

Because most of the "facts" have already been disproven.

They haven't and you haven't shown that they have. You need to pretend they have because you're committed to a nonsense narrative so you can smear the victims.

It seems the bull won when you decided to take a nap in the bull run ;)

Actually, the facts have come out. You're not just willing to accept them because it does not meet your idea on how the world should work.

Insisting that reality conform to your preferred narrative doesn't really cut it.

If you're this wrong about the more simplistic Breonna case, even after most of the evidence has come out , mentioned many times in this thread and even by CNN a few months back it really puts into question the veracity of your claims in other threads.

The telling part is where neither you, Sollie or The Voice have actually pointed out where I'm wrong, merely insisting the narrative you like is correct.

I had it in bulletpoints for you.

You can even see the leaked police reports on the investigation and as I mentioned even CNN covered most of this back in June or July
There was a full investigation and neither we nor the media have the results of that investigation so no one can claim it's wrong. They would not have made their decision without good cause, especially with the threat of violence because of it.

Huh? But initially you said we're the same? Are you now seeing triple?

Have a good weekend. I have to get back to real world stuff - like selling tinfoil.

Hold on , did you just try to trigger orbital with words ?
Words are violence too.....

But really , nothing you say or even bodycam footage of the event would sway these deluded people and their love of criminality/hatred for police.

Putting incorrect things in bullet points doesn't make them correct all of a sudden.

You're welcome to go fact check them against the leaked police reports and CNN.


Anyway the DA, who has access to more information, agreed with this so it proves what was said.

Calls Mount For Kentucky Attorney General To Release Evidence In Breonna Taylor Case
Gov. Andy Beshear and Senate candidate Amy McGrath urged the release of evidence after police officers avoided major charges in Taylor’s killing.

A Kentucky grand jury’s decision not to indict the three Louisville police officers who killed 26-year-old Breonna Taylor on homicide charges has raised questions about what evidence the jurors weighed in the controversial case that sparked nationwide protests.

Now, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R), who announced the grand jury result in a Wednesday news conference, is facing mounting calls to release evidence and grand jury reports in an effort to clarify that decision.

Cameron announced Wednesday afternoon that the grand jury decided not to indict Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly or Officer Myles Cosgrove, two of the Louisville Metro Police Department officers involved in the fatal shooting of Taylor inside her home in March. The grand jury indicted a third officer, Detective Brett Hankison, with three counts of felony wanton endangerment for firing shots from outside Taylor’s apartment into neighboring units.


Hankison, however, also faces no charges related directly to Taylor’s killing or for firing shots into her apartment, a decision that drew confusion and dismay from Taylor’s family and their lawyers.

Cameron spoke approvingly of how the grand jury had parceled out blame. Others did not.

“The attorney general’s logic does not make legal sense,” Lonita Baker, a lawyer for the Taylor family, said during a CNN appearance Wednesday night. “You can’t say that Brett Hankison wantonly endangered three neighbors, but that same reckless behavior does not apply to Breonna.”

I'm a little confused. They rock up, given at the wrong address, then the person in the apartment shoots at them and wounds an officer. They shoot back. And now the police is getting the stick after one of theirs was wounded?
This case isn't even close to clear cut. I see more of a problem with the warrant than with the conduct of the officers. For all that it was tragic that the individual was shot, she also fired on them. Come on!

I mean put yourself in their position for a bit. They followed up on a warrant to forcefully enter and apprehend. They are just people like you and me doing a job. Had one of them even requested the warrant? Or were they just following orders? Then somebody shoots at them from within the apartment they understood to be a drug smuggling den, injuring one of them.

Who here thinks that their training doesn't require them to fire back?

In any case. The circumstances around the warrant needs to be investigated first and foremost. Way before this becomes an issue of hate crime. Most of the blame for this lies with whoever screwed that warrant up. But... Some of the blame lies with whichever trigger happy fool proceeded to shoot at the damned cops! You don't do that... You also don't shoot willy nilly blind without at least knowing who you're shooting at. Right here in Sunny SA Oscar Pistolius got hard time for very much the same thing.

They were the suspects on the warrant
This is incorrect, as far as I can tell. Her name was on the warrant but not as a suspect. Her boyfriend's name was not on the warrant at all.
