The debate over police misconduct has devolved into the most idiotic spectacle, an endless exchange of insults between Dumb and Dumber, rather than a real debate. Breonna Taylor was murdered while she slept by trigger-happy cops executing a no-knock raid on the wrong apartment. Taylor’s boyfriend, a registered gun owner, believing this to be a home invasion, picked up his weapon and fired at the invading thugs. In return, the police fired wildly into the dark apartment, hitting Taylor eight times. One officer fired his weapon 10 times, with three bullets passing through the walls to the other apartment, coming very close to killing even more innocents during their violence-fueled home invasion. He was the only cop to face actual charges for endangerment.
Unfortunately, BLM rioting has set the police misconduct debate back by years. The rioting has awoken the drones who will blindly defend every action by police, no matter how egregious, and smear every victim of police violence, no matter how innocent. Their past will be dragged into the public eye, and the gaggle of idiots, with their usual air of absolute certainty, will hold it up as some kind of post-mortum indictment: “see, she deserved to die!” It’s pathetic, but those are the voices currently drowning out any sign of intelligence within the police brutality debate.
One good thing has emerged in the aftermath of Taylor’s death: Louisville, Kentucky, has now banned the use of no-knock warrants.
