You've heard of "suicide by cop". This time it was "murder by cop", where this idiot forced the cops to shoot at him a lot, while Breonna was right there in the line of fire.

But this is never mentioned when the media shows "protesters" screaming "Breonna Taylor was murdered!.
after some stuff i read yesterday, im not so sure the cops were after the boyfriend. evidently the investigation has now alleged she was moving money for multiple drug dealers.

He didn't deal drugs. Her EX did.

I haven't heard ONE "news" outlet mention that. Especially when they are showing some protest outraged that Taylor got shot. Her boyfriend in the apartment opened fire on the police, and the police fired back, just as they are always trained to do, continuing to fire until the threat against them was stopped.

Were the cops supposed to NOT return fire, even as somebody was shooting at them?

This important fact puts a whole different light on what happened. Breonna's tragic death was not a murder, it was an accident. The cops were doing what they HAD to do.

But it suits the agenda of somebody, to keep pretending it was just a bunch of trigger-happy cops randomly opening fire on a black girl. So we keep getting distorted reporting pretending she was murdered, while never mentioning that somebody in the apartment opened fire on the cops first, thus forcing the cops (yes, forcing) to shoot back into the apartment.

The boyfriend did exactly what I would have done-defended his life and that of his GF against HOME INVADERS. He had no way of knowing they were LE. Even if they had SAID they were LE-criminal do the same thing to gain access. No-knock raids need to go the F away, except in the very rare instance where the perps either have hostages or perhaps are known to have a large amount of firearms. It's not worth killing people over a few ounces of drugs. Or over some unpaid taxes, as in the case of Waco.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no evidence that he was "dealing drugs". No drugs were found at the home. The warrant was based on info from a criminal looking for a plea deal from what I understand. This happens far too often. The judge that issued the warrant needs to be held responsible.

No knock crashing of one’s home should ALWAYS be met with gunfire. I wouldn’t care if all the cops had been shot.

I’m trying to figure out exactly what people expected the boyfriend to do!

Anyway, rep point.

Well...I'd care a little. But I wouldn't hold anyone in the home criminally responsible. No knock warrants are insanely abused. They should be a rare exception, not a regular occurrence.

Or anyone in a similar situation. If someone comes crashing in my door at midnight, they are being met with gunfire. For the simple reason that there is no legitimate reason for someone to do so if they aren't up to something...nefarious. I'm assuming the worst, because that's the only reasonable thing to do. What happened to going to the door in daylight and knocking?

I'm strongly pro-LE, but not always with the laws they have to enforce, or the tactics their political leadership chooses to use. No-knocks need to end.

Interesting tid-bit here. Had a visit from LE at my place the other night. My wife saw on Facebook that dialing 1-1-2 connects you to emergency services, same as 9-1-1. She didn't believe it. Guess what happens when you dial emergency services and hang up? Not one but 2 sheriff's deputies show up. I happened to be outside when they showed, explained the situation and let them in to talk to her. Everything civilized. Even after they see the 9 mm sitting on the shelf where I leave it when I walk in the house. Treating people like they are civilized does wonders-and works both ways.

Same media outlets that gave a blow-by-blow description of the guy who got shot in the arm while attempting to utilize his handgun to shoot the kid on the deck who was actively defending himself against a lynch mob. They didn't mention the part about the guy having a handgun his hand. They mentioned a ton of other stuff, but nada about the handgun in his hand. Same with the skateboard guy. They mentioned all this bs about how he loved to teach people to kayak but didn't mention that he was actively attacking the kid on the deck with his skateboard at the time he got his ticket punched.
