Consider these facts:
The Breonna Taylor shooting case was considered by a grand jury today, who chose not to charge the police with murder. One cop was SEPARATELY charged with other crimes, but that was unrelated to the police officers who fired into the apartment where Taylor and her boyfriend lived.
The "news" media, democrats and especially BLM, have portrayed the events related to the shooting inconsistency and dishonestly. Their "narrative" goes like this: "the racist police showed up to Breonna's home, and arbitrarily murdered her for NO REASON, other than racism"!
First of all, B. Taylor was going out with a violent drug trafficker, and she'd been linked to his trafficking, because she'd been repeatedly seen in and out of her boyfriend's separate drug stash house.
More importantly, the police came to their apartment to serve a "NO KNOCK" arrest and search warrant, after conducting an investigation into the 2. They were allowed to just kick the door in without notifying the 2 suspects of their presence, but they CHOSE TO KNOCK ANYWAY.
After knocking and making their presence as cops known, Taylor's boyfriend grabbed his gun and began firing at the officers THROUGH THE CLOSED DOOR! So the police fired back, and unfortunately, unintentionally shot Breonna. It's obviously bad that she died, but she WOULDN'T have died if her boyfriend didn't fire at the police, and/or if she wasn't living with a violent drug trafficker!
The reasonable and rational grand jury understood these facts, and realized that the police were in the right to return fire, when being fired on! So they didn't charge the officers who shot into their apartment with murder, plain and simply. Contrary to the left's narrative, this was NOT a matter of an innocent black woman being killed for no reason by racist cops....
Should police have to just stand by and be murdered by violent criminals, or should they be able to fire back when fired upon?
