And a certain percentage of the American population can't understand why people are protesting and rioting. It's because of shit like this.
someboreddude
It's almost like they're hoping to start a race riot to make people look bad. ...Pff, that's silly!

TODAY, we need to lay the blame at the feet of our legislators. Probably not the current class, but they decide what is and is not legal.

It's almost like America was founded in the spirit of "let's be shitty to people who aren't white" or something.
ShopaholicsAnonymous
“Let’s be shitty to people who aren’t rich, white males” is more like it.

Its not just America, just saying. More slaves went to Brazil in the triangular slave trade. Balcks inslaved other blacks in Africa.....

Yeah, but we're the ones that go on about how we three land of the free. "Liberty and justice for all."

Before America was even discovered. Is it bad? Yes. Is it just America? No

Gotta love how they even knew it was a fucked up call and had citys board up before riots start to brake out

Second Civil war? Nope. We need to finish the first one. For a lot of these people the original never ended. Kind of like Korea.

The Taylors settled for $12 mil, leave it to the police state we live in to kill someone for no reason and make tax payers pay for it.

Is it possible the prosecutor and judge limited what the grand jury could even do? Serious question.
ArsenalThePhoenix
i never understan why USA lets people with no law education decide court cases. such a flawed concept! imagine if we did it with doctors?

Qualified immunity eliminates almost every possibility of charging them with anything. It’s an atrocity.

What person will stand up as Ali would have? A mighty force of dignity & pride definitely to be reckoned with but peacefully.
zanaria
It is really pathetic seeing cops complaining about the protests and violence aimed at cops there since the grand jury results. Like they
zanaria
say they feel besieged. Well guess what, if justice had actually been done then the public would not be as angry. The cops busted in the
zanaria
door late at night, they claim they announced but you dont buy a brand new Ferrari then drive around an old Prius. There is no way that
zanaria
They got a no knock warrant and then decided not to use it. The BF thought they were burglars, thats why he only wounded one and was taken
zanaria
alive, if he really knew they were cops and shot anyway then he would have kept shooting. Where are the self defense laws for him?
Undrave
They just made the whole things worse if you ask me.

They killed a woman and only got in trouble for the shots that missed.

When the drug dealer boyfriend uses her as a human shield, of course she got killed

Supposedly two cops have been shot already. There's going to be full-blown anarchy. And the cops have no one to blame but themselves.
Layinginbed
I'm in Louisville. No there isn't
LastoftheLillyCreatures
Anarchy has nothing to do with that, it righteous anger coming their way, nothing else.
TimeRyderAndTheChronoTeens
There's always the option to take it to a higher court, which I really recommend on this
doctorhat
When it comes to whether to bring criminal charges or not, there isn't. DOJ could still bring federal charges, but, well, *gestures vaguely*
TimeRyderAndTheChronoTeens
...fair 'nuff...
turdturdleton
Honest question but who was shooting upstairs? Were they just blasting in every direction in the complex?
fetchmethatpitcher
Yes. Because apparently that’s justified. No reckless endangerment here!!

They painted it black

Charged with being masonry while black

I need to you to take my reply deadpan as a serious answer, yes they were.

After killing a black person they felt the need to shout 'Yee haw' while firing into the air for a bit.

I just watched the neuuuuws, and they stated he broke formation and went to the patio door, fired, and the rounds went past Mrs Taylor and..

Into the next door apt
randomwalrus
Upstairs is next door... for bullets. But sure, the news knows more than the lawyer who was in court, arguing the evidence.
bepreparedyoumust
One cop was shot in the leg, likely fell back shooting
Raziel420
They do ballistics on the round, cause I've lived with cops all my life, and he's a terrible shot
xoverthirtyx
The only shot her bf fired, at what he thought was an intruder, a disabling shot. But please continue to make up bullshit for the rest.
Tumescentpie
While demonstrating his second amendment right. Oh wait that isn't for black people is it?
bepreparedyoumust
The same would have happed to a white person. They never actually saw a person during this whole raid situation.
tr26
Really? That’s actually what you think happened?
dirtcreature
According to the bf who shot it is what happened. He shot a cop, the cops returned fire. This is a too many guns problem.
bepreparedyoumust
Could be, more likely than they shooting up into the next apartment for shits and giggles
tr26
I think both are equally unlikely.
dingofdong
The officer indicted fired blindly into the apartment, with such little regard for where his bullets went that several of them went through+
dingofdong
+ multiple walls into neighbouring apartments.

The ceiling didn’t comply with the lawful order to get on the ground.

The judicial system has higher standards of evidence than mob rule.

Do you not understand how stacked the deck is in any case against a police officer? The whole system works to protect them at all costs

Wait, what, this is the first I am hearing about it. /s
BoooBoooooBOOOOOOOOO
I mean this isn't police this is judiciary. The courts could still hold people responsible after the fact.
netharia
it's all white people ensuring a racist system endures.
UncleDill
But they dont. Oh so often
allthenamesaregone
"It's not systemic" say the people who benefit from the system.
Johnny5dicks
I benefit by not being black and I definitely know and say there is systemic racism in MOST PDs and in the laws of our country.
Darkspire
Another fan favorite is "I don't see race!" You get the all the smug superiority and back patting, and none of the introspection, with the
Darkspire
bonus of completely ignoring the suffering of Black and other marginalized folks.
loremaster85
Anyone who claims they 'don't see race' is full of shit unless they're actually blind.
Darkspire
Oh for sure.
Frontrowheckler
why was this racist? Extremely stupid and irresponsible on the police's part but racist Unless refering to the grand jury or lack of charges
Frontrowheckler
But i don't have the evidence that the grand jury had so i can not give any insight into their motivations.
Frontrowheckler
Claiming to know their motivations might be putting the cart before the horse. I'M NOT SAYING RACISM DOSEN'T EXIST. We need to know more.
Frontrowheckler
Everything about the lack of charges feels so wrong to me, but i don't have the evidence or perticulars.
BoooBoooooBOOOOOOOOO
racist because of implicit racism not explicit. Prosecute endangering white neighbor but not what happened to the black person.
BoooBoooooBOOOOOOOOO
It's like how black people get longer prison sentences for the same crimes as white people under the same conditions. Subconscious bias
Frontrowheckler
Yes we need better tools to correct for those bias. My argument is that i don't have the evidence so i cant tell if there is a bias.
Frontrowheckler
Who fired what bullet and at what and where did they end up. Sounds like SO MANY things went so wrong in the encounter.
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
YOU don't need all the evidence. There are so many other things in this life you accept a trained subject expert telling you at face value.
tr26
I get your skepticism, but your experiences do not necessarily match those of others, especially those who do not look like you.
Everyfrigginnameistaken
The boyfriend came out shooting. The police returned fire hitting her in the next room.
TheMadOnion
Cops broke into my house without a warrant they get their asses shot dead too what's your point?
ToolmanTR
It is 100% legal to open fire upon people who break into your house. But you think that police not knowing where they're firing is okay?
ToolmanTR
Also...Breonna didn't shoot, her boyfriend did. How does that make Breonna in the least way culpable in any wrongdoing?
DavosTheOnionKnight
That tends to happen when you break into someone's house at 12am without just cause.
goblinofstoichiometry
Thats why they knocked first.

goblinofstoichiometry
Ricky Retardo... We keep having to say it because you keep putting your fingers in your ears and not listening.
DavosTheOnionKnight
So you think the man inside, a law abiding citizen by all accounts, heard them announce as police yet still came out shooting?
newsguycraigevans
They did knock or declare themselves as police. They just busted in and then murdered a woman asleep in her bed.
goblinofstoichiometry
Again not in bed, was awake in the hallway with the boyfriend who has gone on record saying they knocked.

goblinofstoichiometry
The boyfriend even said that they knocked
Averien
The warrant was changed from no-knock, and witness said they knocked and announced.
TastyBrainMeats
Not a fan of castle doctrine, are you? Schmuck.
RadicalLeftist
Im against castle doctrine because i dont think people need to be armed but that doesnt mean Breonna wasnt murdered by police.
Bragazinski
Not castle doctrine when they knock and declare police with a warrant
LoudAngryJerk
They didn't declare shit.
Renzworth
But they didn't. It was a forced entry. Research or shut up

VashTehStampede
It was a no knock warrant, for a non-violent crime.
ImgurMadeMeChangeMyNameCauseItsDumb
Victim and 11 witnesses say they didn't. And cops lie about fucking EVERYTHING.
Bragazinski
Victim told reporters he responded to knocking at his door.
ImgurMadeMeChangeMyNameCauseItsDumb
A knock is not identifying yourself.
Dustorn
ironic?, if I knocked down your door and announced that I was the police, I'd be perfectly safe killing you when you defended yourself?
DanceFightingDog
Stop.fucking.lying. Your mother is ashamed of you... or she’s an absolute cunt for raising you wrong. Either way...
DavosTheOnionKnight
I'm not buying that. Would you come out shooting at the police if you heard them announce? I don't think any rational human would.
DavosTheOnionKnight
They were investigating a non violent crime at the home of the perp's ex. Does that seems like grounds for beating the door down guns drawn?
youknowthatonepersonwiththeface
"We know it was a No-Knock Warrant, but we decided to knock and announce ourselves just to be polite."
LoudAngryJerk
it wasn't executed as a no-knock. They did knock according to all versions of the events. What they didn't do, according to every version>
LoudAngryJerk
>of the testimony except the cops' was announce themselves as police.

This article also doesn't fact check if they declared. The boyfriend says they didn't, neighbors say they didn't. https://imgur.com/52xUZiH

What are we supposed to get from this? This is fact checking that they didn't have a warrant at all. And even says it was a no-knock.
