Don't get me wrong - it was a tragedy that this girl was caught in the middle of all of this and she ended up getting killed. I feel bad and pray for her and her family...but damn.... this all was NEEDLESS, pointless, and a complete waste....
Why couldnt they pull back and talk him out ?
Because they thought drugs were in the apartment, and just surrounding the place gives them time to flush the evidence down the toilet.
Which is more important? Finding drugs or refraining from harming innocent people?
So the police should only do a warrant search if there is zero risk of harming someone?
They announced, they knocked, he shot at them.
Whether they knocked and announced themselves is questionable. Only 1 person claims they knocked and announced their presence. Everyone else heard nothing. He changed his story after initially telling the police they did not knock or announce their presence. Yet Cameron told the grand jury that they had conclusively determined the police had knocked and announced their presence. The fact that charges against Walker was dropped shows how shaky this whole thing is.
The police said they knocked and announced, one person was brave enough to confirm that.
They dropped the charges for political reasons, people are claiming they didn't hear the cops for political reasons.
Or maybe they told the truth and the one witness lied. The fact that all charges were dropped tells you who is telling the truth. You are the piece of dogshit that is playing politics. The upcoming Biden Administration should open up a civil rights investigation of the police and the AG.,
That the charges were dropped just shows how gutless the DA is.
The same police that are going to enforce all the new gun laws your side wants to pass?
What charges were dropped?
One officer was charged with wanton endangerment because he shot into a neighboring apartment.
Talking about the charges against the guy who shot at the cops.
Sorry! That is self-defense if he truly did not know they were cops.
That's what a trial is supposed to find out. Just dropping the charges is gutless.
What charges are you talking about? You seem extremely confused! AG of the state held a grand jury regarding the cops. The local AG for Louisville (A Democrat) did not charge the boyfriend with shooting the cop.
Charges against Breonna Taylor's boyfriend dropped for now
Those charges were dropped by the local DA, a Democrat, the police chief was fired, and the mayor received a no-confidence vote by the city council, Democrats one and all. If you read the article, they still could made against the boyfriend, but it appears to be a case of self-defense against a home invasion.
A valid warrant was provided, so it cannot be a "home invasion".
The cops say they announced, and went in when no answer was given, again, not a home invasion.
If you come to my house, knock on my door, say it is the police, then bust down my door and I didn't hear a thing, you are going to get shot also.
My daughter-in-law's Mom and step-father lived in Virginia and were sitting in their apartment one afternoon, when someone busted in the door and when her step-Dad stood up to confront them, he was shot with a sawed-off shotgun in the hand and shoulder, causing him to lose the use of his right hand and arm. Oh, those teenagers had watched enough TV that they yelled "Police" as they broke down the door. This happened about 10 years ago. The only thing that saved them was their son was upstairs where their gun was kept and he did not get down the stairs in time before they fled.
