WTF is with the audio on that link? 🤣 "blessed be donald trump"? hahahaha
the officer indicted fired rounds into 3 Apartments, none of them identified as Taylors. the others were not indicted.
Justice will hopefully be served, the system works. I hope that 1 officer gets to see the inside of a cell block!
While this is better than the normal "oopsie, too bad" result we usually see, I really want to see the people who authorized the raid put on trial.
why? this was part of a years long investigation, multiple warrants served on the same night against multiple people involved. Per witness' the police knocked and announced
The reports I read said witnesses heard no announcement. They lied about the postal inspectors giving evidence about alleged boxes of drugs getting shipped to Taylor's apartment. Then there's the issue of no body cam despite photographic evidence of one officer wearing one, and another wearing a mount for one with no camera in it.
So yeah, there are problems and people need to answer for them. Tossing one trigger happy cop under the bus is a partial win, but doesn't really go after all of the clusterfuck that led up to the whole mess.
Not reading 41 pages of that. Can you summarize it in a few sentences? The tv documentary that was aired about her does make her sound mostly innocent of the drug allegations, in that the EX-boyfriend was the main police target. The documentary made it sound like, on the night of the raid, they hit the ex's house(maybe on the second house hit) and had him in cuffs. Why was it necessary to then kick down the door of her apartment at 2 am and shoot her? After watching it I can understand how feelers could get all twisted up about the case. I felt bad for her.
I'm the rare conservative that would advocate making all drugs legal. I do not care if you want to get high. or kill yourself doing it. Just don't care. If they were legal this girl would still be alive, and kentucky would not about to be burned. I would also advocate getting rid of or defunding the police. I think I would enjoy the shitshow that would ensue. It could work if the court system and lawyers went away too. But those are just pipe dreams.
Edit to add: at a minimum, no-knock warrants need to stop. there is no reason that they could not have gone to the hospital and scooped her up while she was at work. being a nurse. its fucking ridiculous.
she hadn't worked at a hospital for over a year. they coudlnt' scoop her up thereShe was fired and listed as "never rehire" type shit
Shit, my shit internet dies and when the feed comes back up theres awith cops holding him down... WTF did I miss?

I have totally flipped on that. I think Opioids meth, and coke need to be stamped out and tightly controlled. MJ, Psychs like LSD and shrooms, legal. Opioids and coke re-wire your brain. >50% of this country doesn't have a solid family background to prevent them from slipping into addiction when their brains are not finished (<25 years of age).
Airstrikes on the cartels. Life in prison for higher-up drug dealers, no parole, make them grow their own food. Increase the police force 5x in inner-city neighborhoods, and load the paddywagons every single night with street dealers and throw them on the farm for 15 years minimum.
I can't hardly believe that I've switched to Judge Dredd on this but I have. Full out Robocop those hard drug motherfuckers.
I should, however, be able to go down to the local pharmacy and ask for a tab of LSD over the counter. Shrooms and LSD should be part of the separation process for our combat veterans. We should have our taxes raised 1%, income and corporate, to provide a 1 year separation/de-compression process for our Vets.
Edit: even non-combat. The shit I went through when I got a divorce while showing up for underways in the Navy, nobody should have to go through that. There's 'unfair' and then there's that. Military duty is arduous, a 1 year de-comp on the taxpayer's dime should be part of the package.
