A woman who is shot while sleeping because the cops claimed her drug dealing ex-boyfriend she broke up with 2 years ago might have received packages at her apartment (claims the post office did NOT support) isn't "resisting arrest," you hateful clown.
you can understand how people are angry when the cops *created* the dangerous situation by busting into an apt. in the middle of the night & Breonna Taylor's boyfriend understandably feared they were intruders and tried to defend their home.
I'm NOT pro-drug legalization but don't see the justification for these aggressive, late-night, no-knock warrants for drug crimes. All this danger and risk to preserve evidence? Not worth it.
If someone breaks a window/door of my home late at night, I would absolutely believe my life was in danger & would take every possible measure to stop the threat. It should be VERY VERY rare for cops to break into a private home w/o identifying themselves.
Kentucky AG trying to frame this as not a no-knock warrant because 1 witness said heard cops announce themselves as "police" ONE time. Taylor's boyfriend & all other neighbors said they never heard that. Sounds like a very insufficient announcement IMHO.
