I wonder how many MAGA Republicans come to his defense saying, “The police did not need to kill him, he wasn’t a threat. He was in his own home,” while they never gave two shits about Breonna Taylor, and possibly even said that she deserved it because she was possibly involved in crime. Well, here we are, you feel part of what the Black population felt, and so what can we change? Is it the guns, is it the law enforcement? Or is it the people at the top (same people, for both sides), who made this happen?
Was there any indication Breonna Taylor was involved in crime?
She used to date a person involved in crime, and went to his house a number of times, but she was not with him at the time. That’s all, but she was being followed in relation to him.
So basically not at all.
Correct.
And just to be clear, I’m not saying she was involved in crime, I’m saying these things are why the police were watching her and why they might say she was “possibly involved in crime”. I do not believe she was at all, and from all accounts, she had already distanced herself from that person quite some time before her murder.
Just excuses
