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?
I haven't heard ONE "news" outlet mention that. Especially when they are showing some protest outraged that Taylor got shot. Her boyfriend in the apartment opened fire on the police, and the police fired back, just as they are always trained to do, continuing to fire until the threat against them was stopped.
Were the cops supposed to NOT return fire, even as somebody was shooting at them?
This important fact puts a whole different light on what happened. Breonna's tragic death was not a murder, it was an accident. The cops were doing what they HAD to do.
But it suits the agenda of somebody, to keep pretending it was just a bunch of trigger-happy cops randomly opening fire on a black girl. So we keep getting distorted reporting pretending she was murdered, while never mentioning that somebody in the apartment opened fire on the cops first, thus forcing the cops (yes, forcing) to shoot back into the apartment.
Someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night. Are you not going to shoot to protect yourself and your family?
No-knock raids are a setup, and this is the proof.
ah.... and further evidence that you have been lied to by the media. The question is what are you going to do about it? you gonna keep trusting them or start looking for something that gets close to the truth.
FYI, LIKE YOU up until yesterday, I thought that raid was a no-knock raid. It wasn't. They knocked and announced. Im not suggesting that this thing was done perfectly. i have questions. AND as a civil libertarian, i generally oppose most raids. unless there is imminent danger to innocents, and/or clear indication that evidence will be destroyed, there are better ways to do this.
but like me, you were told this was no-knock and it wasn't. we got lied to.

AND that her boyfriend was taken into custody without harm?
Obviously her "boyfriend" had no qualms about creating a situation that put his girlfriend into grave danger. Dealing drugs (and thus attracting the legitimate attention of cops), and then sleeping with or near her with a loaded gun in case "somebody" broke in, and then firing blindly when they did.
You've heard of "suicide by cop". This time it was "murder by cop", where this idiot forced the cops to shoot at him a lot, while Breonna was right there in the line of fire.
But this is never mentioned when the media shows "protesters" screaming "Breonna Taylor was murdered!".

This. If someone tries knocking your down down in the middle of the night, you would assume the worse.
You have a right to defend yourself and your home. Most people probably would have done the same thing.
They would have thought themselves the victims of a burglary or home invasion.
It's a local story, did it make it onto the national news, that the DA tried to get her Ex-boyfriend to implicate her and say she dealed drugs in exchange for getting a reduced sentence? (To try to smear her character and paint her in a negative light and sort of to excuse the officers somewhat)?????? He told them no. It wasn't true and he would not lie.
Briana was not a Drug Dealer and neither were her sister or Current Boyfriend
Several social media posts have accused Taylor of living with a drug dealer, insinuating that is why police had targeted her place for a search warrant in their narcotics investigation.
Taylor shared her apartment with her younger sister, Juniyah Palmer. Neither Taylor nor Palmer have any history of drug offenses.
Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, did not live in the apartment, according to the address listed on his arrest citation. He also has no history of drug offenses, and Walker was not named in the search warrant.
Sam Aguiar, an attorney for Taylor's family, said Taylor had dated Glover, one of the police's main suspects, two years earlier and that they maintained a "passive friendship."...
Neither Taylor nor Kenneth Walker has any drug offenses on their records.
Additionally, though Taylor and Glover once dated, Glover said they were no longer in touch before her death. There is no evidence Glover was living in Taylor's apartment.
