Usually because it would be more expensive to contest the suit. Add the costs of the ignorant masses tearing up cities over dead thugs.
Either she was part of the drug trade (a runner, a mule), or she exemplifies the lesson: Be careful who you share your bed with.
Cities have paid out for shootings no where near as high as 12 million? I haven't really read into all the details the payout seems high. There was a case in CA where police broke a woman leg those two officers had no warrant at all she got 6.7 million. They claimed they could arrest the woman's daughter for arson using the stipulation they could pursue a suspect into a home without a warrant. That didn't work because it had been a few days there was no pursuit. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/woman-i...ge%20daughter.
I thought that was high for a broken leg, but then again no warrant at all and wasn't like they could have waited in front of the house and gotten a warrant easily.
No knock warrants result in a wrongful death case, or no warrant at all price has to be paid for that kind of stuff not sure needs to be millions.
Who she lives with doesn't relive the police of their responsibility the no knock policy is something should be done away with restricted to very narrow use case. There are other ways to remove a suspect. Reminds me of Waco Texas stand off where they could have gotten David Koresh when he went to town. Instead they wanted to make a big show of force busting down doors. This is all policy, training, and better oversight. There might be a time when they really do need a no knock warrant someone is in danger in that home. It should be used with commander approval not some drug related case.
12 million dollar payouts won't solve any of these issue tax payer picks up the bill nothing really changes to improve things.
I just watched my local news and saw the story. They made no mention of the police being shot at. Only that the police shot her. Ignorant assumption on your part. You only find the full story tucked away at the end of long articles.
This is the subject of the thread.
I've heard the shooting of Breonna Taylor many times in the last few months, and I have NEVER heard it mentioned that someone in her apartment opened fire on the cops before they fired on anyone themselves.
There are problems with the shooting, whether the cops announced themselves as cops etc.
But the subject of the thread is that the media always mentions the shooting of Taylor, but seldom if ever refers to someone in her apartment shooting at the cops first. This lack continues to the present day.

Maybe you weren’t paying attention. It has always been reported that her boyfriend fired shots at the police because they came in unannounced.
Throughout the investigation into Breonna Taylor’s death, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron has refused to give a timeline as to when his office will announce its decision on whether to press charges against the Louisville police who killed her.
But while Cameron has still given no indication on when he will announce his findings, several federal buildings in downtown Louisville will be shut down from Monday to Friday this week. The closures are seen as an indication that an announcement is imminent, reports CNN.
