Breonna Taylor shooting: Fired Louisville officer indicted on criminal charges

[Axe Cap]

No, they should have knocked on the door and waited for the resident to answer so they can resolve the situation peacefully.

They knocked and announced themselves in which they did not have to do. They had the authority to enter the premises. Whether that should have been granted is a valid argument. The fact is that it was granted whether you agree or disagree. They did not break any laws.

 

[Jack Hays]

Given the fact that they were not wearing any symbols of being a police enforcement unit.
nor did they announce that they were the police the person in the house saw a group of guys
heavily armed walking up to his house.

Given his neighborhood and where they lived he has a right under the 4th amendment to protect his home.
THe cops were completely wrong in his case.
the guy they were looking for was already in custody.

Shot at. Fired back. We disagree on several points.

 

[Patriotic Voter]

So the police should stand there without returning fire (even after one had been shot) until they are dead? Got it.

They need to find the person who shot one cop in the leg. The injured cop needs to take care of himself.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Unsure, there seems to be complications all the way around with this case.

However it does green light a consequence. It will encourage law enforcement to up the game by not announcing themselves, look for any resistance, and return by executing everyone they encounter.

democrats continue to lie.

Terrorist hack Ben Crump, who makes a living promoting terrorism by filing nuisance lawsuits against police officers. Crump is a "slip and fall" ambulance chaser who made a name in the Trayvon Martin case and then was involved in the Blake, Arbery, and Floyd cases.

Crump is a sleazy pile of shit without a hint of integrity, typical democrat. He lied to the press and the American people the day of the Taylor shooting claiming police served a no-knock warrant and were in plain clothes.

The little Goebbels of the CCP press repeated the lies by Crump verbatim, as he knew they would. Even if the New York Times or CNN had anyone on staff who was capable of vetting a story, they wouldn't. The agenda of the party is what the gutter scum demagogues promote. They are not journalists, but propagandists.

Bodycam footage and an FBI investigation proved that the officers were in uniform and used a bullhorn to announce "POLICE - OPEN UP"; at which point Kenneth Walker opened fire on them. Police returned fire AFTER Walker had already shot a police officer.

But we see the democrat terrorist filth continuing to repeat Crump's lie. Why? Because democrats are gutter scum traitors who don't give a shit about justice and seek only to fan the flames of violence.

 

[Jack Hays]

You have still not proven the police had no way of knowing who was armed and who was not or where Taylor and Walker were standing. I will not stop asking until I get an answer.

There is no answer because there is no question.

 

[Jack Hays]

Out of curiosity, assuming you own a firearm, if someone kicks in your door while you are sleeping do you respond with force or how long do you wait? At what point is a person allowed to use self defense in their own home?

I don't own a firearm.

 

[Axe Cap]

They need to find the person who shot one cop in the leg. The injured cop needs to take care of himself.

That was Kenneth Walker and his charges have since been dropped.

 

[tres borrachos]

Something else we all know is she would have been tried, not killed, if there was any probable cause to arrest her.

Very good point.

I never knew until this incident that standing next to someone who fires at LEOs means you get the death penalty.

 

[Patriotic Voter]

There is no answer because there is no question.

There is a question if I ask it, obviously. And there is an answer. I will not give up so if you want me to stop asking the question you have to answer it.

 

[tres borrachos]

But a person she was closely involved with at her home fired at the police and she was right beside him. I completely understand that it is extremely tragic that she got caught in the crossfire but what do you expect the officers to do in that instance? Stand there and not return fire even after one officer was shot?

So that means she gets the death penalty. Right?

I expect trained officers to know who they are shooting at and know that they have a reason to shoot at someone. Breonna Taylor posed no threat to the officers. She was unarmed. She didn't shoot at them.

So what would you like the officers to be charged with exactly?

 

[tres borrachos]

Everyone is saying she could have moved.

So could they. But they didn't. They shot her 6 times.

 

[Jack Hays]

There is a question if I ask it, obviously. And there is an answer. I will not give up so if you want me to stop asking the question you have to answer it.

The police fired in lawful self-defense while serving a lawful warrant.

 

[tres borrachos]

So what would you like the officers to be charged with exactly?

Not my call. I'm not an attorney. I'm debating what happened on a message board and saying I think what they did was wrong.

 

[tres borrachos]

The police fired in lawful self-defense while serving a lawful warrant.

Self defense? She had no weapon. What imminent threat did she pose to them?

 

[Jack Hays]

Self defense? She had no weapon. What imminent threat did she pose to them?

What the police knew was that someone shot at them from a particular direction. They fired back in that direction in self-defense. Taylor was unlucky. The police were not at fault.

 

[longview]

The person they shot didn't fire on them. That is the problem here.

I think most people prefer that the police know who they are shooting at. There could have been a toddler standing there. Most people value human life, and "shoot first and ask questions later" is so 1886.

While we will never know exactly how this went down,(unless there is a video), it sounds like, Kenneth Walker
fired at police, standing is a line between where the police were and Breonna.
When the police returned fire, Walker moved from his position, leaving Breonna in the line of fire.
The police and the city were found liable in civil court, and paid Breonns's family $12, million, and agreed to change their policies.
The Grand Jury, when presented with the best evidence available, found NO criminal liability, for the officers who's bullets actually killed Breonna.

You are still not proving they had no way of knowing Taylor was unarmed and standing next to Walker and Walker fired the shot. There is no reason to keep saying that crap instead of answering my question.

Well, the city was found at fault in civil court.

 

[ludin]

Shot at. Fired back. We disagree on several points.

disagree all you want. if you see a group of armed guys approaching you what are you going to do?
defend yourself or let them kill you?

unless they announce they are police they have no protections.
they can be treated as any other person.

You are still not proving they had no way of knowing Taylor was unarmed and standing next to Walker and Walker fired the shot. There is no reason to keep saying that crap instead of answering my question.

We actually do not know how this went down, Walker could have been standing in front of Breonna , when he fired, and then moved.
The Grand Jury, had the best data, and we know they found no criminal charges, for the police who fired the shots that killed Breonna

 

[tres borrachos]

What the police knew was that someone shot at them from a particular direction. They fired back in that direction in self-defense. Taylor was unlucky. The police were not at fault.

I know, right? Responsibility is so 1980. It's all about luck. Sorry you're dead - you were just unlucky!

I hope nobody you know is ever killed by a texting driver or ricochet bullet. But if they are, you can just say "oh well, he was unlucky".

We know that Walker fired first and struck an officer. Do we know exactly where each of them was standing in the apartment? Not that I know of and I'm not sure how we can know that. Unless you can prove that Taylor was nowhere near Walker, which is very unlikely as it was a small apartment, she seems to have been caught in crossfire due to Walker firing first. I'm not sure what your question has to do with the outcome of the investigation under Kentucky Law.

She was unlucky and everybody agrees. If the cops busted in and started firing then they would have all been charged. That's not what happened and I'm not sure what your point has to do with the outcome of the investigation.
