NHL NHL will resume play on Saturday

Nobody is suggesting she deserved to die. I’ve yet to read that. What in my opinion is up for debate is WHO is responsible for her unfortunate death.

Where did you read witnesses corroborated the boyfriends claim? Not disputing it, just haven’t found it anywhere myself.

Breonna Taylor: Louisville ER tech not main subject of drug investigation

You missed my post where I said there's racism everywhere...

You're still missing the point, you can't compare the history of racism for both countries then or now.

Ok you win. The American people and cops are more racist then the Canadian people and their cops. Congrats on being less racist!

If their target is wanted for murder or rape etc... I’d agree. In my opinion a no-knock isn’t necessary for a local dealer. Just my 2 cents

A drug dealer can kill just as many people or destroy just as many lives as a murderer or rapist.

 

[Alicat]

The boyfriend without knowing who it was ("So I just let off one shot," he said. "I still can't see who it is or anything.") shoots his gun and severs the femoral artery of one of the officers.. Guess he figured it might have been the drug dealer or whatever...

How about the cops actually announce who they are and not shoot 10 bullets into the apartment through the patio door.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Maybe the cops should have identified themselves because witnesses corroborate the boyfriend’s assertions.

The cop that murdered her was fired in part because he put 10 rounds into the apartment without identifying himself. I’d say the boyfriend was more than justified to use his firearm which he was permitted to carry and own.

I overlooked this comment. Are you suggesting that as a licensed carrier, I have the right to fire blindly through my front door if someone comes knocking at night?

If someone barges into your home unannounced you sure the hell have the right to fire

He fired once the door had been kicked in

It really is coming across that you blame Breonna Taylor for being murdered

If they barged into the home, why would either side need to shoot through the door?

I’m pretty sure the poster misspoke because I’ve been clear that the cops knocked down the door and that is when her boyfriend fired off a shot in self defense.

I have no clue why the cop who murdered her decided to shoot through the patio door

Breonna Taylor: Louisville ER tech not main subject of drug investigation

2 points I’d like to make.

She wasn’t the “main subject” but she was part of the investigation as she allegedly aided the dealers. She registered their cars in her name. Glover & Walkers cell phones were both in her name. She played a pivotal role. And the detectives DID have a warrant to search her apartment as they suspected she was receiving drug packages for both Glover and Taylor at her home. It’s irrelevant that Glover was arrested across town and hour before the incident at her apartment.

Thanks for the link. Doesn’t do much to help me form an opinion. Her neighbors allege police knocked but didn’t announce themselves. Police say they did. They’re her neighbors, they have reason to lie. Just as the police do. Taylor’s family wasn’t there so they don’t know what happened

Should they not fire back after being shot at and having an offer hit?

What I’ve read is Walker fired THROUGH the closed door. That’s when police returned fire, then knocked the door in. I could be wrong. It’s what I read in report.

I don’t have an opinion on who’s to blame. I lean towards blaming Walker. You don’t fire blindly through a door without knowing who’s there. If he felt he was being robbed, there were smarter tactics at play for him.

And despite my feelings that Ms Taylor made very poor decisions in her life, I certainly don’t think she deserved to die or is at fault for her own death. Questionable life choices often lead to unfortunate circumstances. “Play with fire long enough there’s a chance you’ll be burned”.
She was an EMT. Had a long life ahead of her. It’s unfortunate she was entangled in the dope game. Dangerous lifestyle. I’ve lost some friends to it

 

[LSCII]

have you any knowledge whatsoever what was happening in “chaz”? Or are you just peddling nonsense to further your point?

you do realize there’s a literal black militia walking around fully armed right now, correct? You know, the ones stopping vehicles and forcing people to say black lives matter?

we can ignore that since it doesn’t fit the narrative, though.

First off, show me some reputable news agencies that are reporting this. All I've seen are really fringe sites making this claim. Secondly, there's a big difference between making someone say BLM and strapping an AR15 on your back and shooting 3 people, killing two, no? Are we really at the point of drawing this false of an equivalency and pretending those two things are even in the same f***ing universe? But again, show me some stories about this stuff. I assume you mean the NFAC group, but I'll wait for you.

Maybe if they had announced themselves they wouldn’t have been shot.

What happened to Breonna Taylor should have never happened and the people blaming her or her boyfriend for her death are gross.

Victim blaming is a huge part of the problem in this country.

Well they did from what the officer shot said, the boyfriend didn't hear him he said. . Thankfully the one officer was fired, can't be playing Rambo. Breonna Taylor by all accounts did a lot for people...such a senseless tragedy.

Maybe read other articles about what happened and don’t just take the cops word for it.

The cops are victim blaming to save face. Why the hell else would one of the investigating officers leak these documents and recordings?

Looks like sunglasses to me.

The way he's holding it between his thumb and forefinger looks to me like shades or a phone. Could be a knife, but that picture isn't very clear and doesn't prove anything conclusive, IMO.

They have vacated the felony warrants against Jacob Blake and taken the shackles off of his ankles and removed the police officer who was assigned to watch him at the hospital per his lawyer

Maybe I’ll research some more. Difficult these days to find unbiased news sources.

Once upon a time witnesses said Michael Brown was shot in the back whilst walking away from a police cruiser and his arms raised in the air. “Hands up don’t shoot” was the theme back then. Riots followed. Turns out, once interviewed, most of the “hands up” witnesses admitted to lying. Both criminals and police lie. In this instance, you assume the police are lying. You believe the neighbors. I haven’t reached that conclusion yet. I’ll continue to research. Thanks for the links. Go Bruins

If they were already in the house, wouldn't it be obvious to the shooter that they were cops? Something doesn't sound right.

This is where we disagree. Her boyfriend had a long rap sheet, was a drug dealer, fired a weapon blindly through a door directly putting Ms Taylor in harms way. If anyone is to blame, evidence is leaning heavily towards Walker.

They didn’t announce themselves and busted down the door and that is when her boyfriend shot at who he thought was breaking in.

There's no need for this.

The cops are to blame not her and not her boyfriend.

I’m done. Victim blaming is disgusting.

I don’t know if they announced themselves or not and I haven’t blamed them.

I also don’t think this is a case of racism or just shooting someone because of the color of their skin. I think it’s a case of a lousy policy and a situation that went bad. Seems no knock warrants should be for extreme situations only..
