completely different. If nothing illegal happened don't pay the settlement. Don't try to throw a little money at the family. The people of Kentucky should be irate. People know this was sloppy police work and murder, and the tax payers are footing the bill for these idiots.

"nothing illegal happened but here's a settlement"....what?

Settlements happen all the time.

It is what it is.

I believe that the charges were dropped because there was not enough evidence at the time, but that he could be charged again pending investigation.

That'll be coming now that they know the police knocked and identified themselves. It wasn't a no-knock situation, as previously speculated. Had the boyfriend not fired at the police first, Taylor would still be alive.

The circumstances leading up to the incident and the fact that public police even exist and were required under "law" to do what they did is absurd and ridiculous.

But by their own rules everything makes sense, pretty much. Most of the time you don't even get them to follow their own rules.

It is what it is under this crazy thing called statism.

Exactly. They know more now that this part of the investigation is complete.

Because he'd have to go on trial and all the info from that trial would destroy this farce of a "grand jury" decision.

Well, here's an interesting twist. Breonna Taylor isn't named in the indictment - meaning apparently his wanton endangerment didn't involve killing her. The officer is charged with wanton endangerment during this incident because he shot into a nearby apartment, apparently harming no one.

This charge isn't about Taylor's death at all.

I can't IMAGINE anyone going to prison for being careless with a gun when no harm occurred to anyone out of that behavior.
