How many media outlets mention that when cops broke into Breonna Taylor's apartment, her boyfriend started SHOOTING AT THEM from the completely dark apartment, injuring one?
Charles Barkley and Shaq are men, something wussy boy Colin (raised rich) Kaepernick will never be. Those are the guys black people should be listening to, not some failed loser. They are champions for a reason and no one helped them, they were born to it.
But but but "basketball players are all brainless thug criminals so their opinion doesn't matter."
Until their opinion agrees with your opinion then it’s all of a sudden, “those are the guys black people should be listening to.” Lol

I'm sure the country would have managed JUST FINE without slavery... and if only they could see the hell wrought upon their descendants because of their short-sightedness.

its not like it didnt exist elsewhere. i get your point but its not like there was a singular point in time that you could've stopped it. slavery was pretty common all over the world in the old times.
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.
False. The police have recorded conversations between Taylor and others discussing drug deals, etc. Read the info from a Louisville local news source:
And there were actually 5 search warrants issued regarding this drug ring investigation, Taylor's home being one of them, specifically naming Taylor herself in the search warrant. Source: Louisville Courier-Journal.
There’s actually quite a bit of evidence that she was very much involved in her ex boyfriends drug business and that involvement spans a few years. They have video evidence of her visiting the trap house. They have video evidence of her receiving packages at her home that were then picked up by the ex boyfriend and dropped at the trap house followed by a surge of customers. They have jail house phone call records implicating her.

Given that the raid was at night at some did or did not report hearing the police announce their presence there is reasonable doubt that Kenneth Walker did not hear anything until the door was kicked in, giving legitimate reason to believe it was a home invasion. We can't know 100% what he knew but that scenario is very possible.
Beyond that couldn't a home invader have announced "Police, open the door!" as a cover to commit robbery? It's happened before. I could knock on my neighbor's door saying I'm the police.
I'm also starting to believe the raid was purposely at night to limit visibility. LMPD has been known to cover body cameras before, a night raid makes that unnecessary. It also meant any shots from LMPD would have high risk of hitting non combatants.
