A New York Times investigation....I'm sure they were totally impartial.

I heard the journalist ask this question at the presser, where she said their investigation found that no one heard the announcement. Whenever an issue comes up, whether it's Covid or a criminal investigation, they think their expertise supersedes everything else. They tell us...'believe the experts.' Except when the experts conflict with the journalists. Then 'believe the journalists.' But only the woke journalists.

The AG went through this in great detail, and I believe him. The NY Times doesn't have credibility as an unbiased source...not anymore.

Is that how Breonna was shot? Was he blindly shooting thru the window blinds???

Meanwhile in Illinois, Prizker and Lightfoot are yammering about how this was a miscarriage of justice and they support "peaceful" protests.

Let me know how peacefully that goes, Cook County.

That's incredibly sloppy and unprofessional detective/police work, and a young woman paid for it with her life.
That's flat out wrong. You've repeatedly been given the correct info, including links to the sources (affidavit, etc.). Why are you ignoring the truth?

Local for Louisville - I am in Lexington, 80 miles away, and did not see this until just now. Not a very savory picture, but do you think it justifies the violent death Brionna Taylor suffered at the hands of the police?

She might have been going to open the door after realizing they were cops, and by doing that placed herself in the line of fire. We know the cops didn't target her, or intend to kill her, but when you fire 20 rounds in to a small apartment, someone is going to get hit.

She was standing right next to the shooter. Dumb decision that yielded a tragic result.

And she wasn't all that innocent. Read the local news link I just posted.

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

Look for Donald Trump supporters to arrive in Louisville by nightfall to cause chaos, violence and mayhem to give Donald Trump a facade for his "Law and Order" myth.

Did you listen to Daniel Cameron's statement? And the national news comments immediately afterwards? Even he made mention of the ONE witness to police identifying themselves. There were over 35 other people in that apartment complex, and no one else claimed to hear such identification.

The former boyfriend had been in jail since well before the police ambushed Breonna Taylor's apartment. That is clear from your own link.

Meanwhile, the earlier gatherings of protesters seem to have largely dispersed in downtown Louisville, judging by several live YouTube channels' coverage. I hope things remain calm, but am concerned. Violence is never an answer.
