Breonna Taylor: Grand Jury

[Anonymous]

The police were at that apartment for a lawful entry. This passed muster by being approved by the courts, based upon the presented evidence. This was not an arbitrary confrontation. Breonna has a history of associating with criminals. A body was found in a car that she rented for her criminal boyfriend a few years ago. Don’t get me wrong, but if a targeted criminal shoots at me, I am going to make sure I protect myself.

Well, her boyfriend wasn't charged either, because it was his lawful right to protect himself from intruders.

Police don't have to do no-knock entries. They could, in the vast majority of cases, just wait people out. Instead they choose the method that, time and again, results in tragedy.

PP, what you are saying is good, I agree. But there has to be some reflection on the poor associations Ms. Taylor had which apparently got her involved in this mess.

Not really because her life, like all of ours, has infinite value, and she did not deserve to die, nor did she need to. Her "associations " are just noise to cover up the incompetence of the police.

I am truly not understanding how this is a racist incident on behalf of the cops. If they shot through a wall in response to being shot at and unfortunately hit someone, that is an awful tragedy this woman lost her life but I don't see how it's racist. Someone please enlighten me.

They didn't need to break into her home. They could've nabbed the boyfriend on the street, but then they wouldn't get to do their exciting "raid" and high-five each other afterwards. They felt comfortable doing their raid because the target(s) were lower-income black people. I'm white and f-ing DETEST political correctness, but get real, jackass.

If you start to speak about what everyone in that situation need or didn't' need to be doing, let start with her boyfriend. He didn't need to be dealing drugs. He needs to have a regular 9-5 job and be a productive member of society. He didn't need to involve Breonna into a drug dealing (yes, her name is on his previous plea agreement). He could have been working like most of police officers do. But he felt comfortable selling drugs because the target(s) were lower-income black people. Lets get real.

DP. You are confusing her then-current boyfriend with her ex-boyfriend.

Jailhouse recordings show she was still close to her old boyfriend.

What is your point -b/c of mass incarceration resulting from institutional racism, it is unsurprising that people of color (or white people who grew up in poverty) would have friends and family that may have served time. Doesn't mean the state should be allowed to murder you in your home - but nice try at the collective punishment trope.

Got it - you think black women have no value - so we have to twist all logic to blame her for her own murder - why don't you just call her fat and ugly for the racist-misogynist trope trifecta?

The police represented that she lived by herself, too, when she actually lived with her sister and infant (e.g., bad evidence was presented). Now, we all know if the infant were murdered, too, you would be saying outwardly that it was the infant's fault because of her poor associations (internally, you would probably be cheering).

The DA lied about suspicious packages. There were no grounds for a warrant. They had a warrant for no-knock, but the swat was unavailable. So they did a no-knock without sufficient personnel.

The DA lied.
The cops broke protocol.

And now a woman is dead but nobody is criminally responsible for her death.

America.

Dumdum he was the ex boyfriend who was the drug dealer and he had already been arrested not the boyfriend that was with her that night.
Explain why their police report stated there were no injuries to her???

Unfortunately, the way this world works is that when you start mixing with shady people in the society, you inadvertently invite trouble for yourself, you can argue till you are blue in the face but it’s the reality. Every life has value, that is not disputable but our own actions can get us into some dangerous situations, even though we are just on the fringes of these dangerous situations. This is an unfortunate incident, the problem is when such situations unfold with the police, there is very little reaction time which can have truly tragic consequences.

Shaq and Charles Barkley agree that Breonna's case is not like many of the other BLM cases:

There were no grounds for a warrant. This may not be true. But part of the basis for the warrant was suspicious packages. The postmaster inspector general said that's completely false, according to the lawyer.
