I just saw on FB pictures of everything being boarded up, protected in anticipation to riots.....and that being called doing anything to protect white power.

Sigh, everyone has agendas and it seems they will twist it anyway to their advantage.

Now, as far as "be careful who you sleep with".....not saying I'm perfect in always safety over desire but in my natures of being seduced, I do talk the heck out of prospectives.....and some of them are just too risky to ever meet. So, A and B. A: perhaps we all ought to think in those terms and B:....for men to be a bit more understanding when we want answers about them.

How in the world do they justify this to a judge, in order to get the warrant? LOL
Duh. Its the law.

Her boyfriend was suspected of murder and she of being connected to that, so that makes it even easier.

Correction...its an UNCONSTITUTIONAL law...that means, technically, police are supposed to protect the citizens rights to possess or use drugs.


(Just because you and I do not agree on using drugs, that does not mean our opinion trumps the Constitution).

There is nothing in the constitution that says that all drugs are legal. There is absolutely nothing in case law that says that. Its an asinine argument. I'm guessing you are a Libertarian.

Her boyfriend caused her "death". He shot at police. Time for sympathizers to wake up. And by "calling this a state of emergency" they should just line up the violent rioter people expected and knock them down to eternity.

Sure....the police should protect the deranged and often violent drug users littering the streets with their needles and excrement. I'm sure that's what the founding fathers had in mind.

They're deploying police, basically that means the cops involved in the Breonna Taylor shooting are most likely not going to be charged, which is the correct course of action. She was shot in the crossfire when her boyfriend pulled a gun on the cops.

There should not have been a no-knock warrant, but there was, and police acted lawfully. No-knock warrants are now illegal in Kentucky so this won't happen again
They were at the wrong house. He was defending himself.

Police executed a no knock search warrant and forced their way in, surprising Breonna and her boyfriend who thought the officers were burglars. The person, Jamarcus Glover, they were supposedly looking for was already in custody.

Police fired shots from the outside into the apartment through closed blinds. Neither Taylor nor Walker had a history of drugs or violence. Breonna was an EMT. She was not armed. Kenneth Walker's name was not on the warrant, Adrian Walker's was. We do not know if Adrian is related to Kenneth, but Adrian was not in that apartment. Breonna Taylor's name was on the warrant.

The police were not at the wrong house. The no-knock warrant explicitly lists Taylor's apartment unit and her name, as previous investigations showed Breonna's ties to the drug trade in that area.

Contrary to the lies that continue to be spread online, Breonna Taylor was hardly an innocent angel. She was indeed involved in the drug trade and at the very least fully knew what was going on. There's multiple police reports and pictures showing Jarmarcus using cars registered to Breonna, and he regularly used her address and phone number as contact information (Breonna received numerous jail phone calls from Jamarcus). Just one month prior to the shooting, pictures showed Jarmacus AND Breonna in her vehicle stopping at 2426 Elliott Avenue. 2426 Elliott Avenue is where Jamarcus was arrested as part of the same warrant that involved Breonna Taylor (where she was killed), and drugs and weapons were found at that time.

So sorry, Taylor DID have a history of involvement with the drug trade.

The police did NOT surprise Walker or Breonna. Walker himself stated he heard banging/knocking on the door. Walker and multiple eyewitnesses stated that the police did not identify themselves, while the officers and one eyewitness claim they did state they were police. Anyhow, after no response, the officers forced themselves in when they were shot at by Walker. Walker's shot hit one of the officers in the leg. According to one source, one of the officers fired from outside, but many of the shots were fired inside the apartment.
