Hmm... That does change things. I haven't been following this case. Saw after I posted that it's from May. And I only went on this article in the post. Seems I'm a bit behind.
He is citing hes opinion and twisting fact to suit his narrative.

Plain clothes narcotic units DO NOT wear body cams. I mean think about it just for a second...
Having an ambulance ready ahead of time is normal
They were already investigating Breonna months ahead of time with call to and from Glover. With him using her phone number and address as reference many times. It wasn't just because of a postal package.
There is nothing sinister in executing warrants at night. Drug arrest are notorious for having lookouts and this reduces the odds of alerting the suspects
All warrants were executed at the same time, again to prevent warning to other suspects.
Having the main suspect in custody does NOT invalidate the other searches.

So yes as already established it was an accident. If they actually executed a no-knock Breonna would still be alive.

Holy shet. We actually have our own radical and rabid Leftist. It was just a joke but wow, you people actually exist here.

I don't think I've seen so much BS in one post.

What's it like being this unhinged? Do you scream at the mirror every morning when you see yourself?
If you think I'm a Leftist, just how far to the Right have you gone?! :D

How do you know the truth of what actually happened? At least OD provides sources for his information
He did not in fact provide sources. He linked to an opinion article and then gave his own impression of the facts and added to it.

Every grand jury is different, because one did one thing doesn't mean that another will do something similar. Prosecutors can sway the decision by the selecting what evidence they present and how they present it which is why some people are asking for their rationale in this case to be made public.
I just hope that once they release some of the evidence people would quiet down. It's starting to look like mob justice is the order of the day. Jake Gardner's death lies squarely with the outrage mob.

Someone needs to explain to me how people shooting at one person, and hitting and killing another isn't at least grounds for a manslaughter charge? Aren't gun people taught to always be sure of their target area before discharging their weapons in self-defence?

It was blind firing as far as I know. If they had brick walls like we do this wouldn't have happened...

Wrong.
It was NOT a no-knock warrant stop believing bull. You are as bad as OD stating "facts" which are in fact not.
The warrant for Taylor's apartment had a no-knock clause approved by Jefferson Circuit Judge Mary Shaw, but LMPD officials have said the three officers knocked and announced themselves.

Yes and they should have used it. Instead they knocked because they believed it to be a low threat situation which led to the tragic events. Would have had to pay for the property damage, but at least she would not be dead

This isn't an opinion article:
Here's the warrant:

EipQ_MJXgAAL0Sm


Boyfriend, a legal gun owner that himself phoned 911.

You know you can listen to the 911 call or read the transcript, right?



A Republican AG that doesn't actually investigate the illegal warrant used, or the incident report where the police brazenly lied about what happened. Surprise, surprise...

Extremely clear who's regarded as a 'patriotic gun owner who defends his home' and who's a 'thug'.

The article in the post you lined to was.

And as I mentioned OD twists facts to suit his narrative. There was nothing illegal about the warrant. Even his later cited opinion piece said as much

Boyfriend fired shots because, in his own words, he feared for his and Breonna's lives as shown by his call to 911. Police claim they knocked before ramming the door to gain access, but did they wait for a response or did they knock to check if there were people inside?

Also, they acted in contravention of protocol when executing "no-knock" search warrant according to the articles.

They knocked, someone started shooting at them. What should they do next?

No, he fired the shot when they started ramming the door to try and open it. He wasn't even a person of interest so had no reason to fear presence of police.

Shortly after midnight on March 13, Louisville police officers executing a search warrant used a battering ram to enter the apartment of Ms. Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician.

The police had been investigating two men who they believed were selling drugs out of a house that was far from Ms. Taylor’s home. But a judge had also signed a warrant allowing the police to search Ms. Taylor’s residence because the police said they believed that one of the men had used her apartment to receive packages. Ms. Taylor had been dating that man on and off for several years but had recently severed ties with him, according to her family’s lawyer.

Ms. Taylor and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, had been in bed, but got up when they heard a loud banging at the door. Mr. Walker said he and Ms. Taylor both called out, asking who was at the door. Mr. Walker later told the police he feared it was Ms. Taylor’s ex-boyfriend trying to break in.

After the police broke the door off its hinges, Mr. Walker fired his gun once, striking Sergeant Mattingly in a thigh. The police responded by firing several shots, striking Ms. Taylor five times. One of the three officers on the scene, Detective Brett Hankison, who has since been fired, shot 10 rounds blindly into the apartment.

Mr. Walker told investigators that Ms. Taylor coughed and struggled to breathe for at least five minutes after she was shot, according to The Louisville Courier Journal. An ambulance on standby outside the apartment had been told to leave about an hour before the raid, counter to standard practice. As officers called an ambulance back to the scene and struggled to render aid to their colleague, Ms. Taylor was not given any medical attention.
