Update: Breonna's Taylor's case will be going to a GRAND jury

[nclib]

So ridiculous for so many reasons. The "police officers" need to be charged with second degree murder at least.

that's insane, further proof that big gov is nothing but pure evil

Yet, the people who claim to support small government are directly and indirectly responsible for this.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Are you blind? When has the media ever pumped out headline after headline about police shootings of unarmed whites like they do police shootings of unarmed blacks?  

Um... nearly every single time police shoot unarmed white people?

Um, that literally never happens. I've never once CNN cover an unarmed white guy being killed.

Now don't get me wrong, unarmed black people are killed all the time for no good reason by police or other white people. But don't pretend that the media is biased in favor of white Trump supporters.

Maybe CNN doesn't cover it because it mostly doesn't happen...

You said the media freaks out “every single time” and now you’re backtracking and claiming it doesn’t happen. Which one is it?

It's both. They cover it every time it happens, which is more or less never. That was my point.

They never cover it, but yes, you are correct that it basically never happens. But it never gets covered.

Not entirely. You’re saying the media covers it. I’m saying they don’t. What we agree on is that a white victim of a police involved shooting is marginal in comparison to black victims. We agree that it’s less likely to happen period.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Send the cops in question to the electric chair.


Oh and dear leftists- turning police misconduct into a white vs black issue set progress back a long time.  I remember Ferguson, the nexus point very clearly: a non-insignificant number of conservatives and Republicans in 2014 and even late 2013 were questioning the infallibility of the Police, were expressing support for bodycams, opposing police militarization, the legal status around Pot etc... and this was promising, because I was a libertarian at the time.  

 But when Ferguson happened the Left decided to frame LEOs vs Citizens as whites vs blacks, and deepened the cultural schism in this country (provoking reactionary attitudes on the right as the Left was in full swing adopting Tumblr-esque identity politics) and further damaged race-relations.  Because telling white people that white people bad for likes and retweets is more important..so thanks, dickheads.

Wow this might be one of the worst posts I have ever read here. Congrats

It has been a coalition of Democrats and Republicans that have supported the War on Drugs.

Ron Paul tells the story of a "suspected drug dealer" who was shot and killed, and it turned out that the gray metallic device in his hand wasn't a gun, but the TV remote control.

There were plenty of headlines a few years back when that white yoga instructor was shot by police in Minnesota. Admittedly, that’s the most high profile example I can think of off the top of my head in recent years. But the media does tend to cover it on the rare occasion that it happens.

The Daniel Shaver incident was also a pretty big deal.

I've seen more critiques over the past several years that have been moving more towards spotlighting the authoritarian nature of law enforcement in general and their immunity from accountability. The disproportionate impact on minority communities is a salient component of law enforcement issues, but it's not the only angle through which liberals have been calling for reform within the criminal justice system recently.

The city really wants to continue losing money!
Not even going to stop no knock warrants. Its 100% screwed here.
I also love how this illegal raid still had a drug search even though the police never had a warrant for this house.
The Cops better go to prison for home invasion+felony murder here.

Also WHY TF IS THERE EVEN A TRIAL FOR THE VICTIM HERE. The man defended himself from home invaders and he is the one arrested? There is no way he's actually going to get convicted  considering the warrant was illegitimate but its disgusting this even has to go trial.
This case angers me much much more than the Ahmaud Arbery case!
There is no body camera here showing the Police knocked so they should be assumed guilty!

Breonna Taylor’s ex-boyfriend offered plea deal if he would claim Taylor was part of ‘organized crime syndicate’

Jamarcus Glover turned down the plea deal that would have implicated Breonna Taylor in his alleged crimes

Breonna Taylor’s ex-boyfriend was offered a plea deal if he would claim that she was part of an “organized crime syndicate.”

Jamarcus Glover, Taylor’s ex-boyfriend and the focus of the no-knock raid which took her life, pled not guilty to drug charges Friday. Court records indicated that prosecutors were willing to give him a plea deal if he were to implicate Taylor in his alleged crimes, WDRB reported Monday.

why don't the politicians that claim to care about these things do something that would actually help, like ending no-knock raids instead of things that won't change anything like a new anti-lynching law?

I love that video. When Ron Paul asked the girl if she was "a hells angel" I lost it. I almost fell to the floor, it was that funny. The inflection of his voice, the question, the whole back and forth was hysterical.

 This case is infuriating. The way they're trying to cover for the cops is frightening. The sweetheart plea offered to her friend to paint Breonna Taylor as some sort of drug Queenpin is disgraceful, shame on the city and state.

 This is what they're doing by the way. This was an earlier raid months before Ms. Taylor's death, with reportedly some of the same officers involved. They raided a "grow house" which wasn't, completely terrorized a family, and only found small amounts of personal marijuana which lead to no charges.

 The War on Drugs has never been anything but a war on Black people and the poor.

Reason reported on it at the time

A Louisville, Kentucky, SWAT team looking for marijuana broke into a home and terrorized the family living there, based on claims police easily could have debunked if they had been doing their jobs properly, according to a lawsuit filed last week. The cops "continued to detain Plaintiffs, with rifles drawn on them, even after it became clear that the Residence was a family household—not a drug dealer's lair," the complaint says.

Ashlea Burr and Mario Daugherty say more than a dozen SWAT officers stormed into their home without warning on the morning of October 26, 2018, breaking the front door, setting off "exploding devices" (presumably flashbang grenades), and shouting commands while threatening them and their three teenaged children with "assault rifles." The family initially thought they were being robbed, and one of the children, a 14-year-old girl identified as "Z.S." in the lawsuit, "ran through the back door and into the yard in an effort to reach her grandmother's house next door." The cops sprang into action:

    

Officers drew their assault rifles on her, yelling commands at her to get on the ground….Z.S. was extremely frightened, began crying and submitted [by kneeling on] the ground. It was cold and rainy, and Z.S. was not wearing any socks, shoes or a jacket. She repeatedly requested to be taken to her grandmother's next door, but the Officers refused the requests, kept her in the cold, wet conditions, and kept their rifles on her.

The girl can be heard sobbing in a video of the raid's aftermath. "Hold on, hon, we're almost done, OK?" says one of the officers. "We'll get you back inside. You're not hurt, right? You're just scared? I'm sorry."

the "cops" should be in prison, the Judge who signed off on the warrant should be hung from a light pole right next to the DA that asked for it.

The fact that none of the murderous authorities are in jail yet is a travesty.  The fact that most protestors seem to be more upset over the dead jackasses in Wisconsin than Ms Taylor isn't good either.

See plea deals are fairly normal in exchange for testification. But to testify that a dead person did something bad without any reason such as to find details deeper into a "cartel"?
Holy sh**t there is some deep corruption!

Cops aren't going to change their behavior because they know they're going to get away with it. We need a complete overhaul of our police system in this country.

Isn't getting rid of no-knock warrants a major provision of the Democrats recent Civil Rights bill?

how would I know?  It certainly didn't get the press the anti-lynching bill did.  Rand Paul pushed for something a few months ago, not sure where it went.  <Googles>  It does seem to be part of the Dems new crime bill.  Which is great news that they are finally adopting the long held libertarian position on the issue

Here's some post investigation pics.  Turns out one of the cops actually had a BODY CAM!. If a cop has a body cam and decides not to turn it on and if they conduct misconduct, I assume guilt on them. This was just a pure out home invasion with no knocks. If the cops lied about a body cam they lied about knocking.
 Anyway I highly doubt the cop actually knocked with a no-knock warrant, they idiotically entered someone's private adobe in the middle of the night. One of them got shot and they returned back with hellfire in revenge for their injured mafia brother or whatever and now they want to ruin the victim's image.

[Sir Mohamed]

Horrible. No knock raids should be prohibited. In cases you have extremely dangerous people such as terror suspects, there is going to be Swat team anyway.
