    Cops really need to be using body cameras, especially for things like this. It protects the public when the police do things wrong and protects the police when they do things right.

    It's not just about that.

    Today has set the precedent that cops can legally and justifiably murder people in their homes, while they are sleeping.

    This is purely political. The settlement and changes are clear indicators that they were in the wrong. They just don't want to frame the narrative that way.

    How much do you want to bet this is to appease the "law and order" president and his base?

    Dude. I don’t think you understand. They had a no knock warrant. They were fired upon. Do you think they shouldn’t be allowed to return fire?

    I’m not going to argue that the police were in the right here. There actions, IMO, unnecessarily endangered the victim and neighbors. I think they were civilly liable, which in part is why the City agreed to pay $12 million in damages. That said, I disagree with your statement.

    The failure to bring charges doesn’t set a precedent for anything. Only court decisions can do that and then they are only applicable in the jurisdiction where the event happened. This was simply a finding that the circumstances of the case didn’t provide sufficient evidence that the two officers were in violation of Kentucky law. They had a warrant, evidence was provided by a neighbor that they announced themselves before breaking the door down, and they were fired upon by the boyfriend. Police are allowed to return fire in those circumstances.

    Actually that isn't known since we don't know what evidence was presented to the grand jury and what charges they were allowed to consider.

    From outside through blinds......aimlessly? You never fire your weapon without acknowledging your target. Day 1 training!

    The fact that you are defining this murder is mind-blowing. I'm sure you don't care what I think, but you're about to join a small list on here bro.

    I’m basing what I posted on the statement issued by the Kentucky AG at the press conference today.

    Hey, this is S2.
    But I do agree that Trump and his cult are tearing down the country and need to somehow be stopped. I view him as a threat to Western Civilization. However, it appears that on November 3 his ass will be kicked out the back door and into courtrooms all over the place.

    Question for you: You were an MP, right? When you were doing your job, if you had a warrant, or in the military, orders to arrest someone and you had to break into their place to arrest them, what would you do if they started shooting at you?

    From what I've read the shots that went through the blinds were not the ones that killed Breonna Taylor.
