May 13, 20206 yr I’m ignorant on this. Is it normal to execute a search warrant at 1 am? No rhyme or reason. Sometimes the activity being investigated dictates when the warrant is served. Example: Let's say there is a drug complaint at a house and the activity picks up in the evening hours after 6pm and continues well into the night. Police stop 2 or 3 cars leaving that house that have drugs in the vehicle by 8 or 9 at night, still relatively early in the evening. They immediately write up and are granted a search warrant from a judge, which takes time, typically no less than 2-3 hours. By the time the investigating officers call for more units to assist in executing the search warrant its now midnight. Typically the execution of said search warrant can take any where from a couple of hours to all day. Ideally a search warrant would be served during daylight hours but police rarely work under ideal circumstances.
May 13, 20206 yr There are now several outlets reporting that this was indeed a "no-knock" warrant, so I am even more skeptical that they actually announced themselves upon entering the apartment. No knock means they don't announce prior making entry. It doesn't mean they don't announce as they go in...even on those warrants they should anounce police as they make entry, just not beforehand. Regular warrant they knock, announce they have a warrant and wait to see if someone will open the door.

We sleep with a fan on. I don’t care who knocks or how many times... I’m not going to hear it. So if my wakeup is literally the sound of someone in my house, it’s not going to end well for a disoriented me.

The point is they broke in someones apartment in the middle of the night, unannounced, and proceeded to spray an apartment when an unsuspecting person tried to defend themselves, AFTER the guy they were looking for had been arrested.
May 13, 20206 yr The point is they broke in someones apartment in the middle of the night, unannounced, and proceeded to spray an apartment when an unsuspecting person tried to defend themselves, AFTER the guy they were looking for had been arrested. According to the search warrant they weren't looking for him. They were looking for drugs, money possibly stashed there because he was receiving packages there. The full warrant wasn't disclosed in the courier journal but based on what was in the article and the fact that the USPS was assisting in the investigation, it sounds like drugs were being shipped through the mail. That doesn't mean Taylor or her boyfriend knew that's what was being delivered by mail but that's the way it looks so far. It will all come out during the court proceedings though.

May 14, 20206 yr I know that an LMPD officer was shot one time and I've seen a lot of different articles state that Taylor was wounded 8 times. Any idea how many rounds were shot at Loisville Metro? In my mind I've always viewed it as a defensive shooting at an officer as has been expressed through media/social media with only 1 shot being fired from within the apartment, the one that struck the officer. Does anyone know how many shots were fired from inside the apartment? I haven't seen it in any media article I've come across. Edited May 14, 20206 yr by sportsfan41

May 14, 20206 yr I would like to know how many rounds the police fired. We know it was at least eight.
