[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

It was a search warrant, not an arrest warrant, no?  They were going to go into the house,  which is inherently a potentially dangerous situation.

That being said, no-knock warrants, or even late-night knock-and-announce warrants, are going to be particularly dangerous, and I don't see how to justify its use in this case.

But I really don't see how you could place *criminal* blame on any of these officers for Breonna Taylor's death.  That doesn't mean the shooting was justified, or that what happened was in any way OK, but I don't think it would have been right to place criminal blame on these officers for returning fire when conducting what they believed was a valid warrant.[/quote]
