Re-read & think about what he wrote. So if you "have no control of your actions" then you should get shot & killed?
- what about someone with autism who can't help but become emotionally overwhelmed with loud sirens or bright lights or someone shouting in their face?
- someone with a mental illness who has schizophrenia & becomes paranoid when a cop shouts in their face. Or someone with anxiety, and has an anxiety attack while under arrest & has NO control over their body
- someone under the influence of alcohol or drugs & can't respond as quickly as the police want or can't comprehend what the police want from them
- or anyone who doesn't behave within the extreme strict & rigid neurotypical behavior framework set forth by cops of all people, who even at times provoke individuals on purpose.
Ya, the above people are all animals & deserve to get shot & killed. You say, "too bad. stuff happens. I have absolutely no problem with that."
Adults are responsible for their own actions.Drunk High on drugs etc. Do your parents still take care of you..I hope not.
Sure everyone has a story.
For months, actors, sports stars, musicians and other celebrities have been using their platforms to call for justice in the police shooting death of Breonna Taylor, including at Sunday’s Emmy Awards. Her picture was used on the cover of O:The Oprah Magazine this year and even Beyoncé sent a letter to the Kentucky Attorney General asking for justice.
After a grand jury on Wednesday indicted one of the Kentucky police officers on criminal charges, but not for her death, many celebrities and sports stars decried the decision.
“Everyone needs to register to vote. Vote early, go hard, we got to go hard. This is not a year to take it easy, because no one has taken it easy on us. You know, and there’s no reason that young woman should not be walking around today, there’s no reason her mom should be burying her child.” — Queen Latifah, in an AP interview.
I agree with Queen Latifah, everyone needs to register to vote. And vote for Donald Trump MAGA 2020!

my love to Breonna mother, family and
friends! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!!
Explain to me why the AG would ignore the alleged 11 witnesses you claim refute the police knocked and identified themselves. Is AG Cameron an Uncle Tom tool of white oppressors ?
Simple. They play on the same team.
I allege nothing.
I claim nothing and I already provided links.
You are making it about race. I certainly never did. Could it be that you are thinking it was about race? I think it is about cops using a no Knock warrant and breaking into a house needlessly.
This all on the word of a known criminal.
The woman had a descent job, no drugs were found on the property, a cop is fired for being a super freak with a gun and the city paid out huge. It seems to me that those cops were the ones who were out of control and that is why they shouldn't be allowed to investigate their own. Make it the job of the FBI. Make the state and city for the bill for the investigations.
I am not anti-cop, nor am I making this about race as you have. I am anti-corruption and bad cops.
The cops said they did and had 1 witness to back them.
That isn't proof of anything. Proof would be a video of the event.
Now why did they even need to do a midnight raid? Why did it have to be a no knock warrant?
There are a lot of why did they have to do it that way questions here.
Someone asserted that she was a low level drug dealer herself. That she aided her ex knowingly. That may be the case, but there isn't a shred of evidence to support it. If I loan my bf my car, that doesn't mean that I know he is using it to sell drugs. Or if we share a car, whatever.
But even if she DID, being so low level, yes, why the middle of the night battering ram?
This was NOT the residence where the drug activity and danger was concentrated.
3 warrants were signed at the same time. All no knock. Hers was changed, not a no knock, yet they proceeded as if they had one.
A quick knock and a soft 'police' is not sufficient for people to be woken up and really know what is taking place.
A battering ram out of nowhere is what prompted her current boyfriend to shoot in self defense. It all could have been avoided with a proper knock and announce.
‘Her Boyfriend Did Shoot At The Cops’: Charles Barkley Faces Backlash After Comments On Breonna Taylor Case
How 'shocking' that the mob would take offense at people that dare to have a differing opinion.
Make no mistake, had someone that is not a celebrity/professional athlete said something similar, their lives would be in tatters (lost job, online shaming/harrassment, etc.).
Former Philadelphia 76er and current basketball analyst, Charles Barkley is facing backlash for his comments on the Breonna Taylor case. On Thursday night, during the NBA pregame show, Barkley said Taylor’s death should not be compared to other recent high-profile cases.
“You know, we have to take into account that her boyfriend did shoot at the cops and shot a cop,” said Barkley. “So like I say, even though I’m really sorry she lost her life I don’t think we can put this in the same situation as George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, I just don’t believe that.”
Hall of Famer, and co-host, Shaquille O’Neal, agreed with Barkley, now both are facing criticism on social media.
“You know, I hear these fools on TV talking about ‘defund the police’ and things like that. We need police reform and prison reform and things like that. Because you know, who ain’t gonna defund the cops? White neighborhoods and rich neighborhoods. So that notion they keep saying that … I’m like, wait a minute. Who are Black people supposed to call -- Ghostbusters? -- when we have crime in our neighborhoods?
Lebron is going to be upset! Let's see what he says.
