And guess what, they get the same s**t for not engaging in group think. You know what they all have in common? Married, come from a two parent household, educated and/or own their businesses, and/or want to be better and do better.

Blacks aren't inherently smarter/dumber/better/worse, they do however, are being told disproportionately that they're the victims and someone owes them something, even if that someone is their mommy/daddy who can't keep her legs crossed, or his zipper closed. Or the "leaders" they keep electing that perpetuate the cycle of victimhood.

I don't buy Walker's story anymore that he thought it was some random person breaking into his house. Maybe he panicked and the gun went off once? One shot is just strange even if he thought it was not the police.
There isn't proof that she was handling the money for the drug dealers. Her ex-boyfriend said she was handling some money for him in a phone conversation And he may have been lying. There is no proof. And there is no proof that they identified themselves. One witness says they did. Eleven others say they didn't. And even if they did, at 2 am, with someone breaking down your front door, you are not focused on what's being said. You are afraid, you are calling 911 for help, you are picking up a gun and firing a shot to try to get the intruders to stop.

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.
She absolutely did bail out her drug dealer friends and was seen with them at an actual drug house. But there is no evidence her address received packages for those dealing friends. Which was main reason for the raid at her address. If she was dealing drugs they could've arrested her in broad daylight.

Again, read the Louisville local news source to get accurate background info, including that on the homicide victim found in Taylor's rented car:

The police have surveillance photo evidence of exactly that.

1) it wasn't a safe scene for police to administer.

2) police didn't want any redflags on them.

3) 9-1-1's a joke even 30 years after the Public Enemy song...

None of the cops involved in execution of the warrant appear to have done anything wrong. They just shouldn't have been there. Someone should have bothered check the roster at the jail before seeking no knock warrants and the courts should be spending more than two minutes in rubber stamping any warrant, especially no knock warrants.
Please learn the facts of the case.

I am a big history buff and have read many non-fiction accounts of the people who settled in the British Colonies that were to become the United States before the Revolution but during the importation of slaves.

Most of the settlers came from England, which is interesting, because when they lived in England most of them were not wealthy, hence coming to the Colonies to get a new start and hopefully better themselves financially. Land was cheap and abundant, but why did they find it ok to import Africans to be sold into chattel slavery in the English colonies when they would have never considered doing such a thing in England? The main reason why England didn't come to the aid of the Confederacy during the Civil War in spite of their textile factories lying idle for want of American cotton was because they found slavery to be reprehensible.

So therefore, it does seem that these people had a choice, not of preventing slavery everywhere, which would have been impossible, but for not allowing it to gain a foothold in the Colonies. Why were people offended by it in England but English people who moved to the Colonies thought it was just fine?

I have often wondered what the United States would look like and be had Africans never been imported against their will to work as slaves. It's beside the point now, but it's an interesting thought.

Yes, that is a huge problem. Barkley is right. Good for him for calling out the lying Media and BLM.
