Illinois sheriff’s deputy charged with murder shot Black woman in face after she called police for help

Uh Breonna was killed by coward ass cops.
No, she was killed by police officers who were being fired at by her boyfriend, who apparently thinks the way to respond to someone knocking at the door is to shoot at them.

Hey, when the cops are wrong, I'm the first one to call them on it. I'm no longer on speaking terms with certain family members because I criticized one of their friends who was involved in an incident involving a police shooting.

But railroading cops and making the job less desirable... that's just not the way to go.
 
Nope. This was straight up murder.

Then we find out this guy got a bad-conduct discharge from the Army AND had worked for six different police departments in the last four years.
It’s an old story that seems to be repeated over and over but hey, support the blue!
 
Um, yeah, until someone comes up with something better.

I don't think we'd do better with armed neighborhood watches.
Well that’s accepting the problem. It’s obvious cops need much better screening and training.

I agree they need better training.

But screening is going to be hard if you can't fill the slots you have now.


Faced with gaping vacancies in its police force and concerns about public safety, the Philadelphia Police Department had to think creatively about how to get more candidates in the door. The answer? Fewer pushups.
The city’s move to lower requirements for the entry physical exam at its police academy is part of a broader effort nationally to reevaluate policies that keep law enforcement applicants out of the job pool amid a hiring crisis.

No, her boyfriend was firing upon folks whom he thought was breaking in their apartment.

Good for you, but Breonna Taylor was murdered by cops who were looking for the wrong man and then that boot licking, coward that Kentucky has for an AG wouldn't bring them to Justice for it.

Cops are the ones who are railroading folks.

Except they identified themselves as police.

Except they weren't looking for the wrong man, they were following up a lead.

Her ex-boyfriend, in jail, was caught on tape saying that she had his money and drugs. Previously, one of his associates had been found dead in her rental car with a trunk full of drugs. This was not just picking someone out of the phone book, the police had reasonably good suspicion she was involved in his drug business.

Cops are the ones who are railroading folks.
In some cases they do.

In most cases, they are just trying to do their jobs while getting home to their families that evening.

Lie.

He was only arrested on the same night.
 
Lie.

He was only arrested on the same night.

Well, yeah, that time. He had been in jail before, that's the point, and all his conversations and phone calls were taped.



Glover, the original target of the investigation that led police to Taylor’s apartment, was already in custody at the time of the shooting at Taylor’s apartment. No drugs were found at her home, according to police.

Police say they were at Taylor’s apartment because they suspected Glover had been involved in drug activity. Investigators believed that Glover may have been hiding drugs or money at Taylor’s apartment.

In the wake of Taylor’s death, police released audio from jailhouse phone calls between her and her ex-boyfriend to give more insight into the investigation that led to the shooting at Taylor’s home. Friends and relatives said that they believed the release of the calls were an effort to paint Taylor negatively after her death.

In January 2020, the PBI began watching Glover and had surveillance on him, according to the search warrant affidavit. The document also said they had seen Taylor’s car outside the house in which they believed Glover was conducting drug operations. They also said they’d seen Glover leaving Taylor’s apartment with a package, according to a search warrant affidavit. Detective Joshua Jaynes wrote that he believed Glover could be “keeping narcotics and/or proceeds from the sale of narcotics” at Taylor’s home.

David James, a former LMPD narcotics detective, is the president of Louisville’s Metro Council, an elected position of Kentucky’s local government that represents Louisville districts in the city. He says Taylor helped bail Glover out of jail in 2017. “In my opinion, I believe that may be why [LMPD] believed that Breonna Taylor may have been involved with some of Mr. Glover's alleged drug activity,” said James. LMPD also included this information in their report on Glover.



Oh, by the way, GLover is currently doing a 7 year sentence in Louisville because he came back to town and went right back to, you guess it dealing drugs.

The article does not back up your claims. Just like the last time you lied about the situation.
 
this was justified shooting she tried to burn him, she was off her meds for days. thw only problem was he should not stuck around and left sooner anbd not pushed it and he should not have acted the way did after she was shot. he did not have right to say some one is dead. and this comes from a cop.
 
Except they identified themselves as police.
They claimed they did, what else are they going to say?

The man they were looking for was sitting in jail.
Her ex-boyfriend, in jail, was caught on tape saying that she had his money and drugs. Previously, one of his associates had been found dead in her rental car with a trunk full of drugs. This was not just picking someone out of the phone book, the police had reasonably good suspicion she was involved in his drug business.
Glover repeatedly said that Taylor was not involved in any drug operations and that police had "no business" looking for him at her residence, and denied that he had said in the recorded conversations that he kept money at her residence. So they were going off of the word of a drug dealer and a liar.

The warrant they had was even bogus. The warrant states that this event was verified "through a U.S. Postal Inspector". In May 2020, the U.S. postal inspector in Louisville publicly announced that the purported collaboration with law enforcement had never occurred. The postal office said it was asked by a different agency to monitor packages going to Taylor's apartment, but after doing so, it concluded, "There's [sic] no packages of interest going there."

In some cases they do.

In too many cases they do.

In most cases, they are just trying to do their jobs while getting home to their families that evening.

Based on what?

They claimed they did, what else are they going to say?
Except at least one witness said they had identified themselves at the door. Now, it's very possible that he didn't hear them, but shooting at the door was why the officers returned fire.

The man they were looking for was sitting in jail.

But they just weren't looking for him, they were looking for his drugs and his money, and they executed searches at several properties associated with him. One of them happened to be the girlfriend he was caught on tape saying, "Bree has my money"

Glover repeatedly said that Taylor was not involved in any drug operations and that police had "no business" looking for him at her residence, and denied that he had said in the recorded conversations that he kept money at her residence. So they were going off of the word of a drug dealer and a liar.

Yes, Glover was a POS drug dealer, and she was involved with him. One of his associates was driving her car when he was killed by a rival drug gang while delivering a trunkload of drugs. And he can deny that he said that she "had his money" but it's on tape. The police had more than reasonable cause to believe she was involved in his drug business.

In May 2020, the U.S. postal inspector in Louisville publicly announced that the purported collaboration with law enforcement had never occurred.

Yes, everyone looks for cover when something goes wrong. But here's the thing, the State AG looked at this and found there was no reason to charge the officers. The Biden Administration charged these officers, but the jury couldn't come to a verdict. One of them is facing a third trial.

In too many cases they do.

Really? The police execute 10 million arrests and 40 million traffic stops a year, and of those, only 1000 a year result in death. Of those 1000 that result in death, the vast majority are justified because some idiot pulled a gun or a knife. So when we are talking about cops "railroading" people, um, really, not so much.

Based on what?
Based on the fact that in 2023, 49 officers were shot to death, 10 were assaulted by vehicle, and 3 were beaten to death. We ask these guys to go out and patrol a country awash in guns, and then we wonder why they make the decision to fire. And again, as stated above, most of the time, they get it right. They resolve situations without gunfire or they use gunfire judiciously.

There's no excuse in the case of George Floyd or Massey or Laquan McDonald, where the officers used excessive force given the situation. But this isn't one of those cases. A shot was fired and an officer was wounded. They had every reason to fire back.

Sadly, Ms. Taylor just had crappy taste in men. One implicated her in multiple felonies, and the other thought he could win a gunfight with police.
 
Still don't know what happened? I am not racist at all. I want all facts and all truth. Not the Racial Madcow version. What really happened? You never answered. You know good and well no cop walks in and yells at a Black lady and shoots her "in the face". On of a Billion on that.
You're wrong, you're very racist.
