Is Kentucky a ‘Stand Your Ground’ State?
Yes. Kentucky is a Castle Doctrine state and has a “stand your ground” law. A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat. He or she has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force, if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another. Force may also be used to prevent the commission of a felony involving the use of force. Any person who uses a gun in self-defense has immunity from criminal and civil law.

if they had shot a white man they were of been indicted, and tramp would of said they should be.
Not against police dumbass. Jesus are you stupid.
The cops knocked and identified themselves and the BF started shooting. He got what he deserved and her death was a complete accident. You can blame the BF but not the cops.
I don't think they lied about the incident report and they are liars, just like tramp.
The police’s incident report contained multiple errors. It listed Ms. Taylor’s injuries as “none,” even though she had been shot several times, and indicated that officers had not forced their way into the apartment — though they used a battering ram to break the door open.
Ms. Taylor’s family also said it was outrageous that the police felt it necessary to conduct the raid in the middle of the night. Their lawyers say the police
had already located the main suspect in the investigation by the time they burst into the apartment. But they “then proceeded to spray gunfire into the residence with a total disregard for the value of human life,” according to a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Ms. Taylor’s mother.
There was
no body camera footage from the raid. And, for now,
prosecutors have said they had dismissed the charges against Mr. Walker, adding that they would let investigations into the killing run their course before making any final decisions. Some legal experts said the fact that prosecutors dropped charges after a grand jury indictment suggested that they
may have doubts about the version of events told by the police.
Her killing by the police in Louisville, Ky., led to federal and state charges against officers. But one trial ended in acquittal, another in a hung jury, and a judge has dismissed some charges.
