I wouldn't go so far as if to call poorly trained police officers with bad judgment a "lynch mob".

Has it dawned on you guys yet that the city and the PD has admitted wrongdoing? Can you grasp the idea that the guy with the bang-bang and uniform can be - hold on - wrong?

There was a great American who once said (I may be butchering the quote) "Freedom is hearing steps in the night and thinking it's the milkman, not that your door is about to be kicked in." You're willfully, gleefully, enthusiastically abandoning that. Just as long as it's not your door.

Shame on you.

No, they didn't. The violent criminal ex-boyfriend lived miles away and was already in custody.

You have demonstrated no grasp of the facts in this case.

The police officer has been fired. The city has settled, to the tune of millions.

The official word from law enforcement and city government is: This was not done right.

Do stop the bootlicking, it's unbecoming.

The mf's tried to get the ex to implicate her in his drug operation so they could justify this murder. He refused the plea deal, which was a damn good one.

No-knock raids are a setup, and this is the proof.
Well the media reported that they broke into their home in the middle of the night, but they didn't report that they shot at the police. Only part of the story was reported. Thats the whole title of the thread and the point the poster was making. The whole story needs to be reported so people can make decisions based off what actually happened.

Two more things the Media failed to mention:
  1. Breonna Taylor was listed as a POI on the warrant
  2. No knock was optional, they knocked first

And that is simply not true.

New York Times - you guys love hating on the NYT, right?

https://www.nytimes.com/article/breo...or-police.html

CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/25/us/br...ice/index.html

AP: https://apnews.com/27bb910b0aa911bb6a04258195214a0a

You're either lying or you'e been lied to, and at this point in time, I'm not really up for excusing either. 30 seconds with a search engine could have provided you with facts.

I meant in general. Some outlets reported the whole story and some didn't. If only 50% report the whole story its a failure. You also have shows many people watch like the today show who report on news stories who rarely mention the whole story.

As for the first point, the warrant was for Breonna's apartment, and that has been covered extensively.

As for the second point, you're not telling the truth. Walker was not charged with anything, because the police failed to announce themselves. The law found that he was justified in firing at the police for that very reason. They broke down the freakin' door.

What is it with this insistence on ignorance?

How useful.

I guess we can skip the ignorance hypotheses - it appears "Only part of the story was reported" was simply made up on your part.
