Her name was Breonna Taylor. His name was Duncan Lemp.

America has deep racism issues, but a police issue too. This case is mostly a case of the second. Police isn't trained and protocols are 1/
bobon123
often meant to raise tension. I have never felt scared the police could be dangerous to me in any developed country but US. 2/2

I like the security guys. No sarcasm, they seem to do a good job.

Never understood why this didn't get more attention.

HotFruitcake
Wait we can’t wear hoop earrings?
discorage
No, because it's something black/latinx women did. When I first read it I thought "excuse me, the 80s would like to have a word with you."

As a white people, I won't stand for this.
starsinspace15
As a white person, I refuse to lumped in with the racists cunts. I don't get racism at all. All my best friends were First Nationers
PrinceAsh1taka
Breanna Taylor was MURDERED by police in her own bed. DEFUND ALL COPS!!!!
hattbillies3
the police entered her home with a warrant and were fired on. they fired back and killed her. not so simple as you think
theresgarlicinthatnebula
You're arguing that it was legal for them to kill an innocent person sleeping in their own bed in their own apartment?
theresgarlicinthatnebula
because that is an EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM.
Lethalcgreen
Well it is legal period they won't be charge, but it is a bigger problem because something like that is legal
hattbillies3
They went in with a warrant, probably without identifying themselves, were shot at, and returned fire. I’d say it deserves a trial at least
theresgarlicinthatnebula
I'd say it deserves a full-blown reform/reconstruction of the whole damn system.
hattbillies3
Yes. What the hell is a no-knock warrant anyway. They’re asking to get shot at.
knuckledeepinachicken
Way more than just black lives are being lost to police brutality. I hate the idea that someone's death could possibly be less important to
knuckledeepinachicken
a cultural movement just because of their skin color.
theImmortalDaleEarnhardt
So that’s actually not what the movement’s about! Not a contest of who matters more/is killed more. It’s about justice. Black men are 1/2
theImmortalDaleEarnhardt
2/2 more likely to be killed by police. Those cops are not charged and still get to be cops. They’re just not being treated like they matter

When we say “save the sea turtles”, we don’t mean fuck every animal that isn’t a turtle.
JennyIronTeeth
So a court case whatever the verdict would be justice for them?
thanatos777
Nope, sure wouldn't. Justice would require accountability. '
WeSingLalaWhileTheDevilDoesTheChaCha
It would be a start. End the immunity bullshit, so the family could sue in civil court if criminal does nothing.
Cuntortionist
People down voted this but why do cops deserve immunity? How much money is are states already paying out for lawsuits a year?
WeSingLalaWhileTheDevilDoesTheChaCha
Because they dont understand the implications
southsidejohnny
It's kind of sad that we even have to demand a court case...
itswoowoomagoo
Weird how black murders are always debated here. There was a post about an ice cream man killed. No debate despite the holes in the story.
hattbillies3
That’s because this is not a simple case of police misconduct. These police deserve a fair trial, homie.
itswoowoomagoo
Hit pause on the patronizing speech. There’s ALWAYS an excuse.
Lethalcgreen
Notice how anytime anyone disagrees with you its patronizing but if you disagree with someone its revolutionary
hattbillies3
And a lot of times the excuses are bad. This isn’t one of them. You should actually read about the report.
iusedtodream
I saw that post and the comment section was full debate. You don't get to rewrite the narrative.
Badtimesforbananas
Sounds like you’re trying to rewrite the narrative. I saw that post. 30+ comments in and not a single argument. Lies.
itswoowoomagoo
Also, where’s your comment on THAT post to the OP about rewriting the narrative there? You can tone down the arrogance
iusedtodream
Never. If I seem arrogant to you, maybe it's because I am smarter and more courageous than you are. Step up.
itswoowoomagoo
Yeah, when I saw it, there wasn’t a single rejection of events or accusations. YOU don’t get to rewrite my narrative.
iusedtodream
No interest in rewriting "your" narrative. Tell yourself any bedtime story you want. But that doesn't affect what actually IS happening.

It's amazing how the virus doesn't spread with all of these protests.
ichoosethering
Interestingly enough, a study was done and even a crowd of a thousand is considered a drop in the bucket for the population of most cities 1
ichoosethering
and it actually isn't causing that much (documented) spread. Every protest I've been to has been handing out masks, too, which is nice
thanatos777
Mask usage among protesters is super fucking high. Trying to avoid facial recognition is probably a good incentive.
kobrakaimf
Notice how they’re wearing masks and socially distancing

Please help fix the issue instead of ignoring it

I'm an ICU nurse who goes to these protests. I'd bet money that you haven't driven to work in months.

Ah, so that’s the SNAP program’s own assessment of its usefulness, so it’s totally unbiased and 100% objective.
starsent947
Lol really? You won't accept the program's own numbers. That tells me that literally no source is ever going to be good enough for you.
starsent947
I've posted another comment with a link to medicaid numbers twice now, but it's still not showing as posted for me, so hopefully you can see
dodothebirdo99
I don’t think they deserve to be arrested. Should be fired or suspended. But arrested? Nah
southsidejohnny
Someone should be and that's the job of the legal system to determine. So far nothing.
Ferrumkit
Fired or suspended under what pretext? If they were performing duties to the letter the issue is the process itself, which should be the
Ferrumkit
focal point. If they want to gain the momentum needed, they need to highlight that it's No Knock warrants not the officers that are to blame
ichoosethering
well, both.
RagingNorseman
starsent947
No, the officers are also to blame. They shot an unarmed woman who posed no threat, not the I person shooting at them.
