    When I played football this was called pointing, otherwise known as telegraphing what's about to happen.

    Louisville, I'm guessing, is not going to give the mob the blood they lust for. If they're going to go easy on the cops, they know the mob will go crazy, and not just in Louisville, but across the country.

    Rioting over an outcome you don't like isn't justice.

    While I hope I'm wrong, another one of my guesses is more people will die if there's rioting over an unpopular outcome than just Breonna Taylor. That also isn't justice.

    They riot because they can get away with it.

    IMHO the police committed murder in this case. They need to be treated accordingly. These no-knock raids are un-American. With all of the home invasions going on these days police damn sure better get the right house when they execute a so called dynamic entry. I know 4 people who have been subjected to a home invasion (by criminals) and when someone kicks in your door there is hardly time to conduct a nuanced ID assessment. Let's say someone yells "police" and kicks in your door. You know you are not a criminal. What do you do? How do you know the persons yelling "police" are not criminals who will rape your wife and daughter while you get to watch. And for the conservative reading this. Don't think this can't happen to you over a red flag law, an accusation by an ex-wife, etc. and then you can be on the receiving end. These no-knock raids do not reflect conservative values. They reflect the values of people who love totalitarian government.

    I disapprove of no-knock raids too, but in this case the police did "get the right house". They showed up at the house listed on the warrant, and it was a location that was legitimately a part of their criminal investigation. This wasn't one of those wrong-address-raid-gone-sideways situations.

    I've said from the beginning the officers did nothing wrong, and they will walk.

    For some reason, some are still going to be shocked when the outcome is revealed.

    Crazy how now we just assume Democrats will riot and burn whenever they don't get their way and nobody has a problem with that.

    That’s right. Making America great again with jack boots busting in and killing homeowners/dwellers. Perfectly legal.

    Said homeowners accepted that risk when they decided to facilitate the movement of drugs and money for a criminal enterprise.

    The real criminals are the ones that ordered the cops to perform no-knock raids.

    When do the legislators that OK'd it go on trial?

    No knocks are very important.
    They go wrong sometimes, as does literally every other form of raid occasionally.
    But nonetheless they are needed

    Perhaps in a hostage situation. Thats about it.

    Certainly not just to look for drugs.

    I disagree. Sure I’m not into laws against drugs for the most part.

    but that’s more of a legislative issue. If we are going to have them, then no knocks assists in stopping the dump of evidence as well as denies them time to fortify.

    pretty sure it’s used for gang violence as well to

    Like this. I don't believe body camera footage was ever released for this police murder in MD. The victim was a white conservative so downplayed by the media.

    There’s no evidence whatsoever that Brionna Taylor was facilitating the movement of drugs:

    False.

    In transcribed conversations from the morning of March 13, hours after Taylor was killed, Glover told the woman that Taylor had $8,000 of his money.

    Bre got down like $15 (grand), she had the $8 (grand) I gave her the other day and she picked up another $6 (grand),” he said, according to the documents.

    Then, a moment later, he told the woman that “Bre been handling all my money, she been handling my money … She been handling s*** for me and cuz, it ain’t just me.”

    And later, “I can walk in that house (Bre’s) and go directly to whatever it is no problem with it,” Glover said, according to the documents.

    Her address is on the warrant. Her name was on the car rental with the body stuffed in the trunk. Her number was called 60+ times in a month by a drug trafficker who had his address listed as hers. She was spotted multiple times in and out of the trap house on the West End.

    Maybe you're right, maybe she had no idea. Wrong place, wrong time type deal a few hundred times over the course of the last several years.

    Could be.

    Unless there's some unknown 'surprise' factor that nobody knows about yet, the Grand Jury will find that the police officers did nothing wrong. If that finding, in itself, is going to be used by anyone as justification for launching another series of violent acts then it only further reinforces the perception of many that the United States has lost its way and is wandering off into oblivion....

    There is never a good excuse for anyone in this country to be rioting, and committing acts of anarchy, arson, looting, and other violence.

    I suspect that the findings won't be what the mob want. And liberals seem perfectly happy to bully public officials until they get a lynching mob together. Think about what just transpired in Nebraska. Where a female state representative called on the mob to descend on a local prosecutor's home until they charged the bar owner who clearly self defended themselves against a "peaceful protester" from BLM who was choking him out, and was summarily shot by the bar owner. with a homicide. Dude killed himself.

    Liberals. Are you proud of these actions? If so, why? Must the white guy always die, or if not, must they always be charged by the state in their defense of themselves from your mobs? And in this case, you have stupid celebrities getting involved whipping up the anger and suggesting that facts of actual criminal conduct by Bree were somehow excusable? Fanning the flames for yet more violence. Is that y'alls method today?

    And when Kamala Harris threatens the nation with more violence during interviews with the pet media and they don't call her out for it, what message are you folks sending to the mob? Kill everyone. As Azra said, "burn the F***ing place down". Is that it?

    When it's you folks calling for violence, what exactly do you want the rest of us to do?

    Not prosecuting murderers is not justice either.

    I would like proponents of these no-knock raids to explain how the person being subjected to such a raid can quickly determine if the person kicking down their door is a violent criminal conducting a home invasion or the police.

    Yeah, the Southern States tried it, too, but Lincoln crushed them. Situation ethics. One man's hero is another man's villain.
