Hey man, pay no attention to carp I post. If the TFF had a firewall for non-sequiturs, insane ramblings and shenanigans my post count would be zero.

Obviously you understand what I am saying....tens of millions of LE/citizen contacts annually....LE shoots about 1000 people annually.....a dozen or so are bad? Humans under THE CIRCUMSTANCES FACED can't be more perfect....to not see that is just lying to yourself

I think it was all just an unfortunate blunder.

The cops did knock (or bang) on the door.

Did the cops identify themselves ? I am not sure

The boyfriend has a licensed firearm.
The boyfriend may have thought it was her ex thug boyfriend
The boyfriend and cops both shot prematurely

It is mainly the cops fault and the boyfriend as well..

And the Liberal Media lied and didn't know the actual facts and reported it like they always do. "Like Sheet"

What I'm saying is the cops had a choice in how they served the warrant. They could have detained her and her boyfriend through a traffic stop, for example. It just seems like they had options that were less dangerous for them and the suspects. I have not read or heard anything that indicated the police should have expected that she was likely to be violent.

BTW, I disagree that whatever the police do is justifiable because the person is a suspect.

I hear what you’re saying. What I’m trying to say is that if a person quits doing illegal things the chances for things like what happened in this case drop to nothing or near nothing.

It’s a lifestyle some people choose, the consequences of that choice are well known.

Well said.

A couple things now identified of the shooting.

Breonna Taylor's apartment had no trace of drugs. The officers claimed her former boyfriend and current friend Glover was using her apartment to receive drugs. He was seen leaving her apartment with a package the agents said the post office had delivered. A postal inspector said that they were asked to monitor packages to her apartment but they had found NO packages of concern that were left at her apartment.
Taylor's family, Glover and her current boyfriend all said Breonna Taylor made it clear that she would not tolerate any drugs in her apartment.

There was one person out of 13 witnesses who said the police had identified themselves before breaking down the door and the defendants lawyers say he has now changed his testimony. They asked the DA if they had given the grand jury evidence of all of the witnesses or just the one who said he heard them identify themselves and the DA would not say.

What may be telling on that is that the DA, the day after the FBI said they were going to look into the shooting, dropped the charges against the man who shot the police officer during the raid. To drop charges after he was indicted only because the shooting was being investigated by the feds is troubling.
What will happen next is not known. It will be interesting to hear what comes out of the FBI investigation.

Just adding a note or 2: The one witness that said the officers identified themselves prior to breaking in the door, was a person that was in the stairwell/hallway near the apartment. No resident of any apartments in the building that were inside their apartments heard the officers identify themselves. So they announced, just not loud enough to be heard. It appears, from reporting, that at least one of the officers had a camera device on his person but it's unknown if it was off or not. That is one of the items that the family was trying to get turned over/released so they could see what was on it or if it was off. https://www.wdrb.com/in-depth/lmpd-...a31d070-eebe-11ea-8dac-1f2491f002dc.html

If anyone was at fault here, it was clearly her ex boyfriend. all this is because of him.

That and whoever falsified items to get the warrant for Taylor's apartment.

Have the people who falsified these items to get the warrant being arrested, charged, or investigated? I had not read anything about them.

From what I have seen, no. Only that the city changed procedures to make sure it doesn't happen going forward by having supervisor reviews and so forth. Not that that really changes anything, just slows down the legitimate ones.

guess her lawyer felt stiffed by the 12 million, he was on crying about the grand jury and how corrupt the legal system is when they won't release secret documents.

demanding they release the full unredacted transcript, what a maroon.

Come on man, I'd be raising hell too. A cop gets shot, a person shot and killed and no one is charged with anything other than a cop outside recklessly shooting. Sounds like the 12 million was just "let it go" money. Something is not right with all of this.
