Left and right wing militias facing off in Louisville today?
-
The left is fully aware that they have an acculturated criminal element on their side to whom prison is not a huge deterrent. I would steer clear of any confrontation in which the left is able to organize that element into a fighting force. The question is whether NFAC is filled with those sorts, or whether it is filled with people with something to lose, like ANTIFA.

Well Blackwater is a mercenary force, though I’m sure they euphemize that somehow, (‘government contractor’?), and it’s founder is the brother of Ed. Sec Betsy DeVos. Eric something is his name. Whether or how they’re involved in any of this crap I have no idea.

Two taken out on stretchers. Few details.

USA Today:
Police confirmed three members of the NFAC, a Black militia that stands for "Not F**king Around Coalition," were struck by gunfire when someone’s gun discharged while participating in a demonstration Saturday. All three victims went to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. There are no suspects at this time, police said.

"Conservative militia"
Conservative is another term that is used in a non-traditional fashion over here. It immediately made me think of men in tweeds and green Wellington boots carrying very expensive shotguns, however I suspect that is not the case in Kentucky.

I still don’t understand what anyone is really protesting.
Justice for Breonna. They haz guns too. Can’t wait for the searing criticism from the media in the following days. Prolly breaking news. LOL
In this case two wrongs make a left?

Hasn’t justice for Breonna already been served in the proper form of an investigation and any associated charges? Or do average donkeys reading things online know better? No offense, TNCR.

A lot of people think the cops that killed her need to be arrested. Personally I've never immersed myself in the details enough to know if I agree.

Well, the idiot that runs FNAC said his guys were "highly trained".

It’s not pretty. She died needlessly. Not sure who should get arrested but it’s likely the person who faked the rationale for the high risk no knock warrant.

The bottom line, as far as I know, is the cops executed a warrant in the middle of the night, were allegedly shot at by Breonna’s boyfriend, and the police returned fire, resulting in Breonna being shot.
In other words, the cops didn’t do anything wrong.
Was it the fault of the no-knock warrant? Likely, but I can see why those can be needed.
Was it the fault of the person who gave that address as connected with crimes? Maybe, depending on how much of a deception it was.
But as mad as I would be if this happened to my family, i don’t see the cops in the wrong, nor do I envy that ridiculously risky job.

The individual cops who executed that warrant probably did not do anything wrong, and the police department can say with a straight face that those individual cops followed all established department procedures.
But the “no knock warrant” itself, or at least the application of it, was wrong — Breonna Taylor died needlessly. The police department that botched the Breonna Taylor incident recognized it and suspended “no knock warrant” as a practice. Many other towns/PDs have since made the same decision.
Nae, there is something wrong. If all the individual cops who executed the Breonna Taylor “no knock warrant” really “followed all established department procedures” and still Breonna Taylor died needlessly, there is something wrong with “established department procedures.” Keep in mind also that this is not the first or only “no knock warrant” gone bad, so that “something wrong” maybe systemic.
That needs to be thoroughly examined and fixed, for the sake of all people, including the cops themselves.

When an innocent person accidentally dies by cop, it doesn't necessarily follow that rules have to change.
Education is extremely important.
