It's sad that the officers getting shot tonight isn't surprising.

Shooting the police is not the answer.

Shooting happened at Brooke & Broadway. Both officers are alert and expected to be okay.

Shots were also fired earlier this evening on Bardstown Road in the Highlands neighborhood.

The police announcing themselves.  

It’s an apartment building. The only witness they could produce to corroborate their story was someone who lived a floor above Taylor’s apartment. Nobody on the same floor as her heard it?

Yeah, okay. Believe that if you want.

It sounds like it didn't matter what was presented.  People were going to believe what they wanted...

And it sounds like people will believe whatever they’re told, too.

Not saying I believe one thing or another because we ALL don’t know the whole story.

I DO believe that destroying property and looting as a form of protest are wrong and the offenders should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I’m hearing that as well but the no-knock warrant continues to be referenced.  The no-knock warrant is the chief issue IMO.  I just wish we had clear facts.

Nothing will ever be made clear, but I agree with your overall statement here. The protocols, rules, and procedures in place is what lead to this tragedy.

So if I understand this was a drug case, correct? Aside from an imminent danger, there is no life worth risking busting in the middle of the night for a (suspected) drug bust. Even if everything is true and a residence is lined with cocaine.

Agreed and agreed!

What happened at the door with the knocking and who heard it is a non issue as it relates to charges. People are spending a lot of time discussing that and it really is not a factor in what charges should be filed. Once the boyfriend fired his weapon the police were justified in firing back. The only issue as to charges for killing Breonna is the manner in which the police fired back.

And without rewriting laws mid-stream, appropriate justice will never be served for Taylor. That's just the reality of it all and not a revelation discovered yesterday.  However, lost in the monetary settlement was a set of reforms that will hopefully prevent future tragedies such as this one and set a more realistic path for justice.

It doesn’t though, if they announced “police, open up,” or “police, we’re coming in,” they aren’t an intruder.

That’s why many of us want more facts.
