:Conversely, Kenneth Walker was licensed to carry, and a bunch of people come piling into the house, who he may or may not have known were the police. Is it particularly surprising that he fired at them?
That's what was reported. He thought they were home invaders. No body cams on the officers; we just have their testimony saying they knocked and announced themselves, and all the neighbors saying otherwise. Which, c'mon.

There was one neighbor that testified they did knock and announce themselves. The grand jury did have all of the testimony from the neighbors to weigh in theiir deliberation, and until we find evidence otherwise, we have to assume they legitimately found no reason to pursue charges.
I might add that in that neighborhood, it seems likely that most neighbors would dispute anything involving the police...

Just heard an attorney and former head of the Louisville NAACP interviewed. He stated emphatically that the warrant was issued legally and that police procedure was properly followed in carrying out the warrant.
He stated the officers returned fire when shot at. The young lady's death was a horrible tragedy, but was not intentional nor racist.I
He was worried about mob violence and a disrespect for the rule of law.

Fair enough.

Yeah because police officers never corroborate each other's stories to protect themselves. Like, never.
I think the chances are good the officers charged in a little too eagerly. I didn't say that's what happened, no one here knows that. I'm just guessing. I absolutely don't buy the racism garbage.

:TuCa outlined the facts of the case.
- Upon entering the dark apartment, Taylor's boyfriend, a drug dealer (that's what the warrant was about), shot and struck a police officer.
I don't think that's correct. From what I've read, the boyfriend who fired at the police was Kenneth Walker, the drug dealers under investigation were Jamarcus Glover and Adrian Walker (no relation). Glover was an ex-boyfriend.

Kenneth Walker had a gun and shot a cop, because there was knocking at the door.

Personally, I want to know more about why DEMOCRAT GREG FISCHER, the mayor of Louisville FOR TEN YEARS and the Louisville City Council led by DEMOCRAT David James and consisting of Jessica Green DEMOCRAT, Barbara Shanklin DEMOCRAT, Krishna Dorsey DEMOCRAT, and 16 other DEMOCRAT members vs 6 Republican, green, and independent council members have chosen to run a police department full of fascist and racist pigs headed up by DEMOCRAT AND TRUMP CRITIC Steve Conrad.
These officers reported to DEMOCRAT Conrad, who reported in turn to DEMOCRAT FISCHER, DEMOCRAT Cindy Fowler, DEMOCRAT Mark Fox, so many more old white DEMOCRATS.

They also don't understand that local elections always lead to more direct change.

As it should be. Local and state taxes shoud exceed federal and programs should be moved to those levels.

Been shouting this from the rooftops for years. And at a local level, your vote actually does make a difference.

Interesting, @Mik. Do you agree with Malcolm X's assessment as articulated in the video? Which "team" are you on in his "football" metaphor?

Layers and layers of fact checkers at CNN:
According to Cuomo, it was “unclear” if one of the cops was shot by Taylor’s boyfriend or his own officers.
“A cop was hit at some point. Horrible. Officer Mattingly. But by whom? By Walker or friendly fire? Ballistics make it unclear,” Cuomo stated.
During a press conference earlier in the day, however, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron explicitly stated that “there’s no evidence to support that Sergeant Mattingly was hit by friendly fire from other officers.”
“In addition to all the testimony, the ballistics report shows that the round that struck Sergeant Mattingly was fired from a nine-millimeter handgun. The LMPD officers fired 40 caliber handguns,” Cameron explained.
