[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 [b]didn't need[/b] 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]

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. [/quote]
DP.  You are confusing her then-current boyfriend with her ex-boyfriend.[/quote]

Jailhouse recordings show she was still close to her old boyfriend. [/quote]

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.  :roll:  [/quote]
