This needs to happen.

If someone is black, they are allowed to shoot at cops, it's a new rule. Since black people are allowed to shoot at cops, the cops had no reason to return fire and have Taylor caught in the crossfire.

The cops should have retreated and sent in social workers.

And that absorbs police officers who didn't present themselves as police correctly (the warrant was changed from no knock to k oak and present) when there have been a number of break ins in the area from being treated as a home invasion not issuing a warrant? You realize how bass ackwards that is considering if this was a home invasion you would cheer the boyfriend of Breonna Taylor for defending them both. That was what he thought it was.

In the future we need robocops to the dirty work, so no complaints what race or police brutality.

I don't think they will be charged. However, if the police use "no knock" warrants then they should own it if things go wrong, as here.
