....and who you believe SHOULD be held responsible.

Who do you believe should be held responsible?

Who do you believe should be held responsible?

The fucking ANIMALS who murdered her in her sleep.

Are you that obtuse?

 

[THE HCP]

1) The cops had a no knock warrant.
2) The cops were fired upon first.

That pretty much does it for me. Please enlighten me as to what the AG should have charged them with.

Bro....... I’m not doing this....... damn man. I was trained in the army for this type of situation.....these guys fucked up as bad as you could and have a victim to show for it, and you actually believe they AREN’T responsible for this innocent woman’s death. Good lord!

 

[illmatic99]

This is the piece of work that is the AG for Louisville.



Also on our dumbass president's shortlist for RBG's replacement apparently.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Have they said what charges were presented to the grand jury to consider?

the facts:

+ LMPD officers went to the home of Breonna Taylor on Springfield Drive on March 13 to serve a warrant related to a drug trafficking investigation.

+ LMPD officials described that warrant as a “no-knock warrant,” meaning the officers were not required to announce themselves upon arriving at Taylor’s home, but those LMPD officials said they did anyway. Taylor’s family and attorneys dispute that the officers announced themselves.

+ A shootout ensued between a suspect inside the home -- Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker -- and the LMPD officers. One LMPD officer was struck, and three of them fired back. The officer who was struck has recovered. Taylor’s family has filed a civil lawsuit that states Walker thought someone was breaking into the apartment, and that’s why he fired his gun.

+ Walker, whose name was not on the warrant, is now charged with attempted murder of a police officer.

+ Taylor was shot multiple times and died during the shootout.

+ Three LMPD officers -- Jon Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove -- all were placed on administrative assignment, per department protocol.

+ There is no officer body-camera video of the incident. The aforementioned trio work in LMPD’s Criminal Interdiction Division, comprised of officers who generally work narcotics cases and therefore are not issued body-cameras due to the nature of their work.

+ Police fired shots from the outside into the apartment through closed blinds.

+ Another suspect named on the warrant, Jamarcus Glover, was arrested at another location a short time before the police shootout at Taylor’s home, according to the arrest citation.

+ Taylor was not armed.

+ Attorneys for Taylor said neither Taylor nor Walker had a history of drugs or violence.

+ Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney Tom Wine, already investigating Kenneth Walker, recused himself of the investigation into Taylor’s death, citing a conflict of interest. He has asked Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron to appoint a special prosecutor for that investigation.

+ Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and LMPD Chief Steve Conrad have called for a federal review of the findings of the LMPD Public Integrity Unit’s investigation into the Taylor case, once it is complete.

And here are some responses to several inaccuracies the WAVE 3 News team has seen on some national news sites being passed around social media and:

+ Statement: Police had the wrong address

Fact: Taylor’s correct address was on the warrant, including her apartment number and pictures of the outside of her apartment and patio.

+ Statement: Breonna Taylor’s name wasn’t on the warrant

Fact: Breonna Taylor’s name was one of three people named on the warrant, which included her date of birth.

+ Statement: Police should have knocked and announced themselves before entering the home

Fact: The warrant was a “no-knock” warrant, meaning officers were not required to announce themselves before making entry. Again, LMPD says the officers did announce themselves, but Taylor’s attorneys dispute that claim.

+ Statement: Breonna Taylor was shot while sleeping in her bedroom

Fact: Taylor’s attorneys said she was not asleep and was shot in the hallway outside of her bedroom.

+ Statement: Police already had a suspect in custody

Fact: One person related to the drug trafficking investigation, Jamarcus Glover, was arrested at a different location on the same date. It is unclear whether police believed a third person named on the warrant, Adrian Walker, was inside the home at the time of the shootout, or at the location where Glover was arrested a short time earlier. It is not clear if Kenneth Walker and Adrian Walker are related.

Absolutely disgusting. So is any poster defending this

Cops really need to be using body cameras, especially for things like this. It protects the public when the police do things wrong and protects the police when they do things right.

It's not just about that.

Today has set the precedent that cops can legally and justifiably murder people in their homes, while they are sleeping.

....and who you believe SHOULD be held responsible.

Biden and BLM.

 

[illmatic99]

This is purely political. The settlement and changes are clear indicators that they were in the wrong. They just don't want to frame the narrative that way.

How much do you want to bet this is to appease the "law and order" president and his base?

Yes

Dude. I don’t think you understand. They had a no knock warrant. They were fired upon. Do you think they shouldn’t be allowed to return fire?

I’m not going to argue that the police were in the right here. There actions, IMO, unnecessarily endangered the victim and neighbors. I think they were civilly liable, which in part is why the City agreed to pay $12 million in damages. That said, I disagree with your statement.

The failure to bring charges doesn’t set a precedent for anything. Only court decisions can do that and then they are only applicable in the jurisdiction where the event happened. This was simply a finding that the circumstances of the case didn’t provide sufficient evidence that the two officers were in violation of Kentucky law. They had a warrant, evidence was provided by a neighbor that they announced themselves before breaking the door down, and they were fired upon by the boyfriend. Police are allowed to return fire in those circumstances.

Bro this ain't time for jokes..... we are in the middle of a civil war.

Actually that isn't known since we don't know what evidence was presented to the grand jury and what charges they were allowed to consider.

From outside through blinds......aimlessly? You never fire your weapon without acknowledging your target. Day 1 training!

The fact that you are defining this murder is mind-blowing. I'm sure you don't care what I think, but you're about to join a small list on here bro.

I’m basing what I posted on the statement issued by the Kentucky AG at the press conference today.

Hey, this is S2.
But I do agree that Trump and his cult are tearing down the country and need to somehow be stopped. I view him as a threat to Western Civilization. However, it appears that on November 3 his ass will be kicked out the back door and into courtrooms all over the place.

Question for you: You were an MP, right? When you were doing your job, if you had a warrant, or in the military, orders to arrest someone and you had to break into their place to arrest them, what would you do if they started shooting at you?

 

[tlongII]

From outside through blinds......aimlessly? You never fire your weapon without acknowledging your target. Day 1 training!

From what I've read the shots that went through the blinds were not the ones that killed Breonna Taylor.

not to mention Lebron being harassed by a bigot in the mma
