Officers involved in Breonna Taylor case will not face homicide charges, grand jury says...

Attorney General said they did announce themselves. Neighbor witnessed this. May be more charges as you mentioned. Sad case. She got caught in the crossfire between her BF and the police.

I’m feeling tired and old when reading all the criticism against law enforcement. Yes, we make mistakes again and again, but does any of you know anything about being an operative? Do you know what it’s like to arrive at a scene under fire or the threat of fire? Do you know that you have to make a decision in a split second whether you should pull that trigger or not? Do you always know what is behind a front door? Why are our lives not worth anything?

These are harsh words, I know, but I’m sick of this now.

How does this turn into a discussion about Wuhan and Covid 19? Does miss Taylor's case deserve more respect than going off topic?
Guess not.


Now the investigation goes on and federal charges could ensue. Lets pray so. Federal is a stronger penalty phase than state.
The Mayor of Louisville KY declared a state of emergency ahead of the announcement. That tells us the temperature in Louisville. The police were justified in killing her in defense of themselves?
I wonder if those murderers are adding security to themselves and their family homes? People know their names and what they look like.
One day, what with all the corrupt police getting away with murder thus far, and killing people in broad daylight without concern for witnesses capturing their evil live on smartphones, I fear we're going to hear of a vigilante justice system taking place. Either on scene or after a pathetic decision like this.
I pray the federal charges are brought. These men are unfit to wear the badge.

The only charges brought by the grand jury were three counts of wanton endangerment against fired Officer Brett Hankison for shooting into Taylor’s neighbors’ homes during the raid on the night of March 13. The FBI is still investigating potential violations of federal law in the case.

From the article, the Attorney General:

AG Daniel Cameron: Evidence shows that officers both knocked and announced their presence at the apartment. The officers’ statements about their announcement are corroborated by an independent witness.

Yeah. You might care to read the subject line of the thread.

No charges are filed against the BF.
These cops were executing a no knock warrant on the wrong house. Which means they didn't announce themselves as police while trying to break into the house.

I assure you, I know people who would fire at someone breaking into their house at night. Friendly people don't break down your door in the dark. People who do that can't be surprised when they're killed or shot at.

These cops had the wrong house! Her BF was defending her and all inside. As was his right. Which is why there are no charges pressed against him. And why would there be? The invading cops, breaking into the wrong house, killed his GF!
That's penalty enough for firing on cops that came in firing after kicking in the locked door while executing a warrant on the wrong house.

The cops were wrong from the jump. And they murdered a woman in the commission of what is a crime for anyone else. You know, breaking and entering with intent to do harm?


Breonna Taylor case: Breonna's Law passed to ban no-knock warrants...

I'm sorry Susanna. I deeply empathize with people in the police force. They are not supposed to be fodder for criminals and they deserve to be kept safe too. The biggest problem is that nowadays everyone wants to be Twitter judge and jury. It seems from what I've read that the police was the guilty party on this one (a lot of times it's not the case) and shot an innocent person, but the media loves inciting rage so much (because it sells) that you can't even believe anything that's reported anymore. A lot of info usually doesn't come up until the trial. I am hesitant to form any opinions on these cases any more because there is usually no telling what really happened, we don't hear the whole truth because sensationalism. The situation may look like one way and turn out to be something completely different when everything is exposed. So I make effort to not judge after appearances and that's what I learned out of this whole thing, all these contested cases.

Two officers have already been shot in the riot tonight. FBI and Swat are now responding, too.

Because I went off topic.
Here was the facts of the event.

Tragic yes. But it was an accident from a shootout started by her boyfriend.

I Agree 100%<, Back The Blue!

The officers knocked and identified themselves before entering, the boyfriend opened fired on the officers, they returned fire, and Breonna ended up the victim?

Sad, if the boyfriend would have submitted it would have been a 10 minute ordeal, follow up investigation and lawsuit.

Bears repeating again also I think. If this did go down as a knock and announce, it is odd that activists would pursue repeal of the no knock warrant in Ms.Taylor's name if it was not a no knock warrant entry.
Keep in mind the AG and others can be executing a CYA so as to offset reprisals due to the no knock warrant's impact on Ms. Taylor. Especially suspect is the fact that officials admit a no knock warrant was initially issued. And according to the transcript in the prior link, Ms. Taylor's BF did not start shooting first.

But had he done so, when plain clothes people broke into their home in the early morning hours without announcing themselves, who could blame him for protecting himself and her?

Also, what should not be forgotten in this is that police had the wrong house when they were serving this warrant!
And Ms. Taylor was shot eight times and was still alive! While laying in her home 20 minutes unattended by EMT's! And after this raid, changes were made in police body cam policy and no knock warrant policy. If this wasn't a no knock warrant, why the change to that policy after activists pursued that very thing and won?
Also, what isn't widely reported with this latest horrific tragedy to Ms. Taylor is that 17 months prior to this Louisville police botched another raid!
Doesn't seem like they're well versed in executing raids does it. This video shows police clearing the house immediately after they killed Ms. Taylor. Who was laying on her floor dying, while her boyfriend pleads with police to help her. They didn't! The police breaking into Ms.Taylor's home were in street clothes! And did not look like uniformed cops.

And yet,The Killing of Breonna Taylor, Part 2
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/10/podcasts/the-daily/Breonna-Taylor.html?
At 12:40 a.m., the police began banging on her door and eventually rammed it down. The couple’s shouted pleas for those at the door to identify themselves, Mr. Walker said, went unanswered. Afraid and confused, he fired a single shot. The police discharged a hail of bullets into the apartment, killing Ms. Taylor.
“So there’s just shooting, like we’re both on the ground,” Mr. Walker said of the raid. “I don’t know where these shots are coming from, and I’m scared.”

If you read the full transcript at that link you may see there's a cover up going on after the fact. Initially there was a no knock warrant issued. That's key. A no knock warrant was issued first!
Then we're told just before this raid, as described in the transcript, a knock and announce warrant was issued.
Some cops don't follow that second order when for whatever reason they know they were initially told to execute a no knock warrant.
Eleven witnesses and Ms.Taylor's boyfriend stated there was no announcement by police when they breached the entry into Ms.Taylor's home.

No charges are filed against the BF.
These cops were executing a no knock warrant on the wrong house. Which means they didn't announce themselves as police while trying to break into the house.

I assure you, I know people who would fire at someone breaking into their house at night. Friendly people don't break down your door in the dark. People who do that can't be surprised when they're killed or shot at.

Breonna Taylor case: Breonna's Law passed to ban no-knock warrants...

Maybe I’m a little more dense than the average per son, but do you have all the facts, I don’t because I don’t have the Grand Jury documents. My understanding was that the Police did not serve a no knock warrant. They banged on the door and announced themselves. (Verified by a neighbor). Was reported by many that she was shot while asleep in bed, not true. She was standing next to her boyfriend who fired first hitting a cop in the leg. (If you were a cop what would you do if under fire. It’s scary, I’ve been there.)

Many have said they were surprised, but if they didn’t hear the Police announce themselves, what were they doing out of bed, In the hallway not the Bedroom and holding a gun in a shooting position. Have heard that her name was on the warrant which leads me to think that the Cops were at the right address and due to her involvement with a known drug dealer and were looking for something. So much is out there for human consumption but until the Grand Jury docs are released everyone should cool their jets. I’m going on what the Kentucky AG reported. I, as is the case many times, might be wrong, but I need to know more ”FACTS”, not the stuff the news media is floating around.
