    She was sleep walking in the hall standing besides her BF that shot at the cop when he entered, wow heavy sleeper. You lefties are hilarious trying to BS your way into to this being unjustified. Say whatever to keep rioting, looting and murdering cops

    Witnesses to the 1st shot fired and witnesses to the fact they announced themselves. You seem to know better than the Grand Jury.

    Can you post a link describing what the victims were doing when the cops broke down their door?

    Specifically, the warrant alleges that in January 2020, Glover left Taylor's apartment with an unknown package, presumed to be drugs, and subsequently went to a known drug apartment with this package soon afterward. This warrant states that this event was verified "through a US Postal Inspector". In May 2020, the U.S. postal inspector in Louisville publicly announced that the collaboration with law enforcement had never actually occurred. The postal office stated they were actually asked to monitor packages going to Taylor's apartment from a different agency, but after doing so, they concluded, "There's [sic] no packages of interest going there." The public revelation put the investigation and especially the warrant into question and resulted in an internal investigation.[23] No drugs were found in Taylor's apartment after the warrant was executed.[24]

    This all happened because Glover MAY have received a mailed package in January

    Do drug dealers actually send drugs through the US Mail?

    The New York Times interviewed roughly a dozen neighbors and found that only one of them, who was on the exterior staircase immediately above Taylor's apartment, heard the officers shout "Police!" once and knock at least three times, while approximately eleven other neighbors heard no knock or announcement including one who stepped outside to smoke a cigarette

    The Louisville police claimed that none of the officers were wearing body cameras, as all three were plainclothes narcotics officers.[35] On September 4, several news sources including The Courier-Journal, reported that photographs of police officers taken late that day showed that at least one wore a body camera. In the later photographs, one of the officers who fired his weapon, Myles Cosgrove, was wearing a mount for a body camera; another detective who was present wore a body camera, although it is not known whether it was active.[54][55]

    Everything about this deal stinks to high heaven

    Breonna Taylor was NOT shot while sleeping in her bed, she was awake, in her hallway. She was NOT an EMT at the time of her death; she was forced to quit YEARS ago, because a dead body was found in a car rented under her name; the victim was an "associate" of her drug dealing boyfriend. Even though a "no-knock" warrant WAS issued, the officers DID knock. Her neighbors testified under oath, that the police announced themselves BEFORE trying to enter her apartment. Her boyfriend shot a cop, BEFORE police fired their first round. She was STILL aiding and abetting her previous boyfriend's drug dealing operation; she and her car were surveilled delivering drugs to his "trap house" on numerous occasions. She was STILL stashing his drug money at her house. Her address was on record as being his current address on bank records. Her ex-boyfriend blamed her at-the-time boyfriend for her death, NOT the police.
    For the uneducated and willfully ignorant: It was NOT the DA who determined the police officers should not be indicted, it was a GRAND JURY, the most impartial of all arbiters. Her address and vehicle WERE on the warrant. The Left and media HAVE been lying to you! It's unfortunate that she was shot and died, but the police did NOTHING wrong. If people want to BLM(Burn, Loot, Murder) over the grand jury's decision, apply the law to THEM. Breonna was involved with, and profiting from drug trafficking. Blame her, her boyfriend or her ex-boyfriend for her death, NOT the police.

    Grand Jury didn't think so! It was reported she was an EMT caring for people. You ignore the fact that ended a year ago under suspect circumstances. Do you carry water for MSNBC?

    Unbelievable all these dumb celebs attacking the AG, I just can't understand who has a problem with this case, there is no racism, these officers never even saw her and returned fire when they were fired upon. To say the third officer over-reacted is a judgement that can only be made by those who have been under fire. Her death is a tragedy but it certainly is not the officer's fault.

    We shall see, the officers in that New York shooting were exonerated because they mistook the ricochets from their colleague's gunfire for muzzle flashes. This could be something similar.

    Yea...there's always an excuse to let the cops off

    These cops should have been wearing body cams (and likely were and lied about it)

    They should not have dismissed the ambulance that was supposed to have been there

    They should have announced themelves so loudly that someone sleeping a block away could hear it

    They should have rendered aid to the innocent person they just shot

    They should not have shot randomly into an apartment building full of people

    They should not have lied in their incident report

    Executing a warrant like this should have been done by a SWAT team or not at all

    In fact "not at all" is what SHOULD have been the choice here. There was very little evidence to warrant something like this

    No, police should always be given the benefit of the doubt because society asks of them what they ask of no others. No evidence that they lied, they did announce themselves, they didn't shoot randomly and you can't have a SWAT team for everything. Plenty evidence for the warrant, perfectly legitimate.

    Always? Are their no cops that have been convicted of crimes?

    Yeah, body cams should be used more often, but that's hard to do when the trend is to lower funding. You also have no evidence of their lying other than your own bias.

    Maybe.

    Actually, they should not have announced themselves at all. However, whether or not they announced has no relevance to the law in this situation. Tactically, it is always better and safer for everyone in these situations to come unannounced when you have the authority to do so.

    Indeed, however, their first priority would be to ensure the threat is done and remove the injured police officer. By this time Breonna may very well have already passed. Keep in mind that Breonna was NOT an innocent bystander.

    The only was of the three officers that did this was indicted for that very thing.

    True, but that doesn't make a person a murderer. Unfortunately this isn't uncommon and you'll see a whole lot more of it with less funding.

    Absolutely false. The biggest flaw they made was tactical in knocking on the door (and announcing if they did.)

    There was enough evidence for a judge to sign off on it. The warrant is still under investigation so we will see what else comes out of it, but my guess would be some minor procedural issues that don't really affect whether the warrant was justified.

    Breonna was clearly involved with criminal activity and was in the middle of a shootout between her boyfriend and police. It is tragic that these things happen, but they do. Perhaps we should increase police funding for body cams and retraining programs and the like.

    You are aware that her boyfriend (Walker) has stated that they both heard the loud knocks, and that was why they got out of bed and walked into the hallway?

    Your eleven or 12 (whatever) witnesses never even heard knocks. There was one who did. He even heard POLICE! The no knock warrant isn't even an issue.
