Why? I've read news from multiple sources (including CNN) and I'm aware police officers involved aren't going to be charged with murder. However, one was relieved of his duties for violation of protocol and endangerment.
Oh, I even read the controversial 39 page report by LMPD!

Of the neighbors not the victim. The court found they did not do wrong.

So you agree that if they just knocked the door down as intended he would not have had time to grab his gun and fire at them? Remember that is the whole point of no-knock to surprise and overwhelm before shots are fired.
Also the 911 call does not prove they didn't knock. It only proves he said he did not know who it was. And if your wondering why it took 2 minutes before the police came in remember they had to stabilize the officer who was shot.

Because they were executing a valid warrant and "protecting themselves". However, they violated protocol, which is why one was relieved of his duties
Watch the 26min video.
Then you can boast about how you read everything and watched everything.
You'll be the most informed person in the world
OR
Just watch the video and point out what is factually incorrect about it.

No. How long did it take before they broke the hinges? Reports don't say whether he was asleep when they started.

With a battering ram it is very quick. You don't break the hinges you break the locking mechanism. If it works on organised gangs and terrorist cells it would work here as well. IF they didn't knock first.

Which one? I've seen most of the evidence available to the public.
Not sure how that is applicable to the quoted post?

Make the evidence available.
Breonna Taylor's family attorney believes the Kentucky attorney general's investigation was a coverup
www.cnn.com
After another night of protests, Louisville's mayor said he is extending the city's curfew through the weekend to balance people's "rights to peacefully protest with the duty to protect public safety."
The 9 p.m. curfew would keep protesters, first responders and bystanders safe since most of the violence has happened overnight, Mayor Greg Fisher said, while allowing demonstrators "to voice their calls for racial justice and equity during the day."
Calls for transparency
Breonna Taylor's family attorney Benjamin Crump says he believes the Kentucky attorney general's investigation into Taylor's death was a coverup. He is citing what he says were lies from the Louisville Metro Police Department investigation right after Taylor's death.
Former Kentucky Assistant Attorney General John W. Stewart told CNN the grand jury transcripts should be released, noting a lack of transparency in the Taylor case.

Protesters demanding justice for Breonna Taylor walked in the streets of Louisville for a third night, their march briefly interrupted then turned around by lines of police.

Louisville police major on antifa and BLM: 'They will be the ones washing our cars'
"Our little pinky toenails have more character, morals, and ethics, than these punks have in their entire body," Maj. Bridget Hallahan wrote in an email.
www.nbcnews.com
The Louisville, Kentucky, Metro Police Department is looking into a derogatory email a police major sent to her colleagues in August that said people who are part of antifa and the Black Lives Matter movement are "punks" who are not important, a spokesman said.
The email was written by Maj. Bridget Hallahan, who commands the police department's Fifth Division.
Hallahan, 47, confirmed to NBC News on Thursday that she sent the email and said fellow officers have been supportive. She also said she retires in six days.
Phillip Bailey, a journalist in Louisville, tweeted screenshots of the email Tuesday evening. He said it had been provided to him by an unnamed law enforcement source.
A law enforcement source got me this August message from Maj. Bridget Hallahan to 5th Div. (Highland) officers calling protesters "punks" who "will be the ones washing our cars, cashing us out at the @Walmart or living" with their parents.

Like the recent shooting of the psycho chasing the cop with a knife, after which the cops almost immediately released the body cam footage, I think ALL police departments need to start doing the same and making the videos public, to finally start putting an end to the riots, looting, I mean, er, peaceful protests and chants of "we will protect black criminals".
Edit: video is from the area patrol, not the officers who carried out the warrant. Strange that they wouldn't have bodycams, though, but apparently it's not common for the ones who deal with these types of cases for some reason.

Breonna Taylor autopsy report reveals how Louisville police bullets killed her
After months of refusing to release Breonna Taylor's autopsy report, the Jefferson County Coroner's Office made the document publicly available Friday afternoon.
And now we know exactly how she died.
Attorney General Daniel Cameron said Wednesday just one of the six shots that struck Taylor was fatal, but he did not explain which it was or why it would have been mortal.
The autopsy report shows a bullet struck near Taylor's heart, tearing through her main pulmonary artery connecting her heart and lungs, and the lower lobe of her left lung.
FBI's ballistics lab indicated Louisville Metro Police Detective Myles Cosgrove fired that fatal shot. A state ballistics test was inconclusive.
Other bullets struck her forearm, thigh, abdomen, foot and right heel.
However, police and EMS on scene would not have known the extent of Taylor's injuries. And dispatch logs show Taylor lay untouched in her hallway after being shot for more than 20 minutes.
