The Breonna Taylor death is a horrible tragedy. It’s the product of gross, and perhaps even criminal, negligence. It speaks to a need to scale way back on no-knock warrants. It probably also hints at a heightened (and unwarranted) sense of fear in some law enforcement officers during encounters with African Americans. But it is not a murder. Discuss.

You’re free to bring the context point into the discussion, but it’s irrelevant to the issue whether the disgraceful series of events that catalyzed Taylor’s death supports a murder or manslaughter charge. Carry on. 6 minutes ago, Tiberius said: I think the war on drugs is the biggest issue. They need to figure that out. Prohibition isn’t working and it’s really a disaster to poor communities that get punished far more than anyone else. That’s a really good point. I assume, based on your comment, that the warrant in question was based on probable cause to believe that a drug offense had been committed. And you’re right about the disparate treatment of poor communities; over policing is a problem, absence of community policing is a problem, and sentencing structure with respect to drug convictions is a problem as well. The Taylor issue in many ways is a microcosm of a number of deep societal problems. And for that reason I absolutely understand why so many people are rightfully pissed off about what happened. It’s too bad our President is out to lunch on issues like this one. We would be in a much better place with an empathetic, intelligent, caring leader. Edited September 25, 2020 by SectionC3 1

Stand your ground, home is your castle...I can see the opposite reaction is the people were different I have no problem with people questioning the need for a warrant in this case, or the tactics used. I would actually agree that a no knock warrant (the cops knocked) at 1am for a drug case is absurd, and the outcome could have been anticipated. If people want to push for a change in the law that's fine. But the bottom line is the cops were doing their job. And anyone that calls for them to be arrested or charged with murder is, plain and simple, a ****ing idiot. Also lol at this case having anything to do with race. If it was a white person that shot at the cops they wouldn't have shot back? BLM and anyone who supports it = idiot terrorist or both Edited September 25, 2020 by Process 2

So the shooting of the police officer that you have described is equally as sad as the shooting of Taylor, and undoubtedly was justified. 1 minute ago, Process said: I have no problem with people questioning the need for a warrant in this case, or the tactics used.

Usually these things are done at 6a around here, if I understand correctly. I appreciate there can be situations in which a 1a entry might be appropriate, but I’m not aware of whether this is one of those situations.

The police knocked apparently, so Sir Charles seems wrong on that. According to KY AG the police knocked, announced, they entered, they were shot at, they shot back. Now it's possible that Breonna and her boyfriend didn't hear the knock and/or the voice identifying as police. That could have led to the boyfriend shooting for what he/they thought was a home invasion. If not he shot at police knowingly. I don't think we know which yet. It is terrible that this happened.
