The drug dealer fired his gun because he didn't want to be arrested by the police. What part of that do people not understand?
The shooter was not the drug dealer they were looking for and no drugs were found in the apartment. I've seen nothing indicating that the shooter was involved in anything illegal. The fellow who shot the officer was not on the warrant. Breonna Taylor's name was on the warrant and it was suspected that the drug dealer they were investigating had used her apartment to store drugs, which was not supported by the search. The shooter was not wanted by police and he had no drugs on him, so why would he think he was going to be arrested?
Oh no, another Negro apologist. Breonna Taylor was deeply involved in the drug trade.......fact. She was not lying in bed sleeping peacefully when the cops "broke down the door without knocking" as the Negro apologists would have you believe, instead she was standing behind the shooter, wide awake, .............fact. Finally, anyone with half a damn brain, that knows anything about Negroes knows that the boyfriend shooter was as actively involved in the drug trade as were the rest of the Negro drug dealers she was letting use her house as drop point.
I dunno, if someone kicks in my door in the middle of the night......
I bet every one of us has a gun placed somewhere strategic just for that reason
know this: The cops KNOCKED and identified themselves before busting in on a legal warrant...
You do realize that that exact pattern is standard practice in home invasion robbery, though, right?
I don't know about "standard pattern", but what are the cops supposed to do if they knock and the folks inside either refuse verbally to open the door or say nothing?
Like high speed chases through the center of town, I think nighttime home raids should be outlawed due to the too high likelihood of death to innocent parties. Serve the warrant during daylight hours, in uniform, with several marked cop cars within view of the house's windows. The only exception should be where there's credible evidence that some innocent party's life is immanently at risk within the home.
Can't disagree with any of this. But I still think it should be a viable option as in an obvious case of terrorism or imminent death of someone, like a hostage for example.

The neighbors heard it, if they heard it he heard it, so says the GJ
Then why did the GJ decide not to indict Mr. Walker for shooting the policeman? If the GJ thought that Mr. Walker knew it was the police that broke into his house (and why were the police in plain clothes?) why didn't they indict him with attempted murder. They must have believed him when he stated he didn't know it was the police. The assumption that because someone else heard something that means others must have heard it too is ludicrous.
It’s the political climate dumbazz
If it's the political climate dumbazz, then why didn't the GJ indict the officers on more serious charges? Dumbazz!
It’s the political climate. Same reason they havent indicted other perps.
They dont want to wrongly file on the cops as it would lead to trials and each aquittal would result in the same pillaging all over again.
Exactly right. He’s trying to thread the needle of charging someone with something to give the rioters a little red meat while being careful to keep it minor enough to get a conviction or plea deal. Wildly make up charges against them and watch it all burn again when they go to court and get acquitted. It’s really easy to understand and all politically motivated. I can see how it could be difficult to understand what is going on to someone dumb enough to live in NY with there 10 round mags and dumbazz looking AR’s to comply with the bans along with all the other regs.

[Oh no, another Negro apologist. Breonna Taylor was deeply involved in the drug trade.......fact. She was not lying in bed sleeping peacefully when the cops "broke down the door without knocking" as the Negro apologists would have you believe, instead she was standing behind the shooter, wide awake, .............fact.

So, if one tries to look at the facts (not rumors or suspicions) of a case objectively they are a "negro apologist'. Gotcha. BTW I believe George Floyd died of a drug overdose per the autopsy and that Blake's shooting was justified due to his actions and that rioting, burning and looting are not justifiable. No apologies necessary.

No one kicked in the door. Witnesses daid tha cops knocked for several minutes. So said the Kentucky arrorney general.
actually they did kick in the door, but only after officers knocked and announced who they were. They were there long enough for a neighbor to come out and complain to them about the noise they were making and told the neighbor to go inside.
After this I'd have to agree that shooting the cop might have been out of confusion but not because the police didn't do what they were supposed to do. If you shot in that situation, police are more than justified in returning fire.
have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
can you imagine the balls on the upstairs neighbor when he sees cops lined up to bust down a door - he walks and out tells them to quit making so much damn noise
have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
I sleep with a fan on to drown out road noise and have even slept with ear plugs in. In my estimation it is entirely possible that the police did announce themselves and it is entirely possible that the man that fired the shots didn't know it was the police. Maybe all he saw was the bright lights of their flashlights.
I guess I should apologize for being non-binary on this forum.
It appears I'm the ignorant one here. I didn't realize the guy was not the "wanted" guy.

what I get out of this is the cops want to do a Iraq style raid and cant wait to kill someone because they could have arrested her at work and when the house was empty search it then being if there were drugs in the house nobody can flush them. but if they did it that way nobody gets killed half the city dont get burned 12 million dont get paid 2 cops would not be shot . so what other conclusion can be drawn from this disaster? the fake right is so glad the cops got off not caring in the least for the dead wounded fire damage etc. as long as the cops get off
OK, so how many black drug dealers died and why? Did the cops run out of ammo?
maybe they did they shot the female dealer 8 times. what is wrong with what I said about how to arrest her and search the house. what amazes me is most of the guys here are boomers who were the biggest druggies in the 60's -80's. so after they had their fun they want the death penalty for people doing what they did. now in 1969 you did not have to worry about cops knocking your door down at 3 am and maybe killing you for selling weed or smoking it with a few people
