Louisville Mayor Greg Fisher, civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, and Breonna Taylor's mother were among those who spoke at a news conference announcing a $12 million settlement in the family's wrongful death lawsuit. Police reforms will be enacted as part of the deal after Taylor, 26, was shot and killed in a police raid on her home last spring. Watch a portion of their remarks.

I see Ben Crump's big ugly head sitting there...
Moral of the story for anyone with a brain.. Teach your children not to sleep with drug dealing thugs, they might just get caught up in a crossfire of bullets because the boyfriend started shooting first.
No-Knock warrants have been successful, just like Stop & Frisk, so lets not let one successful black girl who decided to date a thug end our successful solutions.

The shooter wasn't a drug dealer. Taylor's ex was the drug dealer and was in a house miles away. The shooter and current boyfriend was squeaky clean and even had a legal CCW license. He shot the cops because he thought they were home invaders after they stupidly broke down a door and swarmed the residence without announcing themselves as police. Had his aim been better, justice would have been served here.
There are reasons the Taylor incident hasn't been the point story for the media or BLM, with pieces of human filth like George Floyd being that public face... neither side of the argument actually wants to lose the Unconstitutional tool of no-knock warrants and this situation was clearly independent of race, so they haven't made nearly as huge a deal of this killing as should have been made.

So what was the warrant issued for? I heard it was because her past boy friend was using her place as a drug drop off point.

As successful as she might have been the cops picked her apartment for a reason....So she wasn't a dealer, but also wasn't that innocent.
Louisville police release Breonna Taylor incident report – it lists her injuries as "none" By Audrey McNamara June 11, 2020 / 1:12 PM / CBS News Police in Louisville, Kentucky, released a nearly-blank incident report Wednesday from the night Breonna Taylor was fatally shot in her own apartment by officers. Despite the fact that the 26-year-old EMT was shot at least eight times during the no-knock search, the report listed Taylor's injuries as "none."
Police also checked "no" next to the box that says "forced entry" on the form, but witnesses and crime scene photos show officers used a battering ram to force entry into the apartment while Taylor was asleep.

You can use any place as a drug drop off point. Very commonly done with abandoned properties. Often called a "drop house", at least they used to be. Could be happening on your property and my property too, who knows.

Thanks for breaking it down. I was misinformed. But there's a reason no-knock warrants have to be used, and Taylor's parents pledging for police reform isn't going to make a difference. Unfortunately, there's a reason such actions have to be taken.

There seems to be a need to always lay blame on the victim. There can be instances where mistakes are made. Hence even though they were assigned body cams they somehow did not have them and before the raid they sent the ambulance away against standard procedure. They also changed documents after the incident.

It seems there was fault on the police...not sure with the cops involved, or other areas. Do you think there was something else going on in the warrant than what would have been just a typical event?
