@@mcslog I mean, they’ve got one hit and then shot a f ton back in retaliation. I’d be ‘bummed’ too, if I heard how they didn’t even hit once, that’s a cynic euphemism btw, that, plus the massive adrenline rush equals this reaction. I wouldn’t ascribe to this the intent of mocking, even though it comes across as shocking for everyone at home, having already heard the full story, usually even beginning with the tragic resolution.
Because he shot an innocent person... and then when police returned fire on a man attempting murder, a criminal next to him who posed no physical threat is killed
Shoutout to the single officer who testified it as an "egregious act" and criticized the officers. Sad part is, only ONE officer thought they were in the wrong.
The one officer I think you are referring to is the SWAT commander. He is justified in his criticism because he is supposed to work with and direct the police. But in the interview he was stating that the police team did not follow his instructions.
@@TheQuilava96 What part of shooting 32 shots, 16 of those being blind shots, seems justifiable to you? Being the girlfriend of a former drug dealer shouldn’t be a death sentence.
Cop fires 16 shots into the dark and cant recall firing the shots, but we are supposed to believe he announced himself based on his own admittedly flawed testimony?
This is a fantastic analysis and it demonstrates a chilling disregard for human life by those officers. Thank you for doing this important journalism work.
except the fact that they purposefully excluded crucial details from this incident, therefor changing the narrative to form opinions. that is not journalism, its literally the definition of propaganda.
@@louisg7147 The big issue isn't that they shot back, it's how they shot back. A large amount of shots with very little aiming with one of the officers just firing blindly into the house. Very lucky no one else was hit.
@@temerityxd8602 They couldn’t see what was happening though. They got shot at and had no idea what was happening and didn’t know the intentions of residents and all in all the BF shouldn’t have just fired on the police for no reason
No the police just understand to shoot until the threat is gone. The boyfriend does not. If those were intruders obviously he would have been unsuccessful with his home defense
Every witness says they didn’t hear the police announce themselves. One person said he doesn’t remember clearly. They use that person’s testimony as proof?
@Mari Jayne If you announce such that most people can't hear you, and you come at night when people are sleeping, you are just breaking into an apartment to steal drugs & money and murder people who defend themselves.
"My girlfriend is dead" "I don't give a --- keep walking." yeah, finish your sentence. Everyone recorded after the shooting seems to be entirely inept.
I'm surprised there's no ridiculous idiots spamming this comment tryna put blame on breonna and her bf. Like how can you even excuse this kind of incompetency from the police smh
I bet you this guy only replied because you guys have the same first name .She clearly stopped herself because she realized the situation. Don’t act like that’s never happened to you . And the punk who she has just shot someone she works with, do you really think she’s not upset .
@@amandagold2648 I doubt that "you have the same first name" is any reason for having a similar opinion. Regardless, it's not good policing. It's absolutely terrible. In fact, it's entirely outside of any reasonable justification to talk down to a detained man. She fails her own department's mission statement. Emotional policing is terrible policing. I do not care if she had that readied in her head and she didn't mean to say it in relation to her death. I do not care if she was heated because of what happened. A good peace officer responds with a steady head and professionalism at all times. You cannot convince me that any of this except for the SWAT officers were actually serving the community with the department's values and general professionalism in mind. It's her job to be equitable, respectful, aware, and objective. She responds emotionally and ridiculously to a man who's already surrendered himself and is detained. "And the punk who she has just shot someone she works with, do you really think she’s not upset ." DO YOU REALLY THINK HE ISN'T? After watching his girlfriend bleed out next to him. He's a law abiding citizen. Not a "punk" as you say. He's entirely shattered. Imagine sleeping by your loved one and 3 minutes later she's dead on the floor right next to you. Imagine that. But the peace officer gets a pass with her unprofessional responses while Kenneth Walker ( a man who has no charges against him, a man who is a legal gun owner, who showed more tact in an unknown situation than the officers by shooting to wound unknown gunmen, and who had to watch his loved one die) gets labeled as a "punk". Very logical.
@@isg2015 lol law abiding citizen . Umm he shot and hit an officer. Lol And the lady that made that statement is not a peace officer . She is a Police officer . Neither you or I have ever been in a police officers shoes , I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t act this so called way of how everything should be done . If it was you. Did you know they found a dead body in Breonnas car . And that her boyfriend lied and changed his story on a few accounts about what happened. And there were other truths but you just don’t want know that omg he’s a liar . It’s horrible she died but why was she right there with someone who fired a gun . If they were so worried why did they not go in the room and call 911 instead of standing in the doorway?
At all times, it is the only gaurenteed way to protect citizens and police. If both paeties are safe then this absolute travisty wouldnt happen. She d8ed for nothing
It said that they weren’t wearing cameras meaning that the police department couldn’t afford body cameras for all the officers. You all want to defund the police and if that happens( it already has) even less officers will be wearing cameras
What are you talking about? The police officers who killed breonna Taylor didn’t even have body cams and the swat team turned off their cameras after everything happened so that they can debrief
@Mari Jayne FireFighters and EMS have the benefit of blaring sirens to let themselves be SEEN and HEARD when they get close to somewhere they need to be, at no point in the video did the narcotics team turn on sirens, if they even had any (You can see the white SUV the narcotics team used @ 13:39 and compare it to the backup police vehicles to the right.) If you're at home watching TV at 12:00AM, it's plausible to not notice/pay any mind to a group of 7 people outside, So you're left with loud knocking at your door with no responses followed by some silhouettes (TV and an outside lamp were the only light sources) breaking down your door. I'm more surprised Walker restrained himself to shoot only once if you ask me.
@@jacobbailey7680 you are accountable for every shot you let out your gun. BIG rule is don’t blindly shoot. The situation is horrible but fortunately more innocent lives weren’t taken from the police officers’ misconduct. The fact you try to say “they were returning fire” shows your stubbornness to defend the police & lack of empathy for the victim. What a shame.

You trust you and your loved ones with your life not anyone else, they give zero f's about you and you know it.

top things to not do: 1) step into fatal funnel 2) blindly fire at unknown targets 3) fire haphazardly into anywhere with civilians 4) search a dark apartment without flashlights 5) not clearly announce yourself everyone that fired a shot should be charged with several counts of endangerment
@Mari Jayne Criminal how? They found no drugs in the house. If you don’t agree with what I say don’t reply cuz you can’t change my mind. Plus, the boyfriend had the right to shoot if he believed it was an intruder, which isn’t hard to believe since they didn’t announce their presence.
The police didn’t announce their presence, and in the state of Kentucky, you have the right to use deadly force on an intruder. If an intruder broke into your house and you had a licensed firearm and the right to shoot, you would probably shoot if you felt that your life was threatened. He was exercising his rights, and they returned with excessive gunfire at THE WRONG HOUSE. Self defense.
The experienced swat officer says “it was an egregious act.” Yet armchair cops on UA-cam say it was totally and completely justified from ill advised warrant to finish (death and the potential death of multiple neighbors).
So the whole apartment complex are witnesses that night and did not hear the cops announce their presents and those cops are still walking free. The whole apartment complex should testify

When citizens “mess up” (don’t move every muscle in their body exactly as instructed) in a police encounter, citizens die. When police mess up in a citizen encounter, citizens die. This tells me we need to set the bar MUCH higher for who we give a badge and a gun to.
@Mari Jayne the odds of an officer dying on the job are so insanely low it’s insignificant. They aren’t the ones in cuffs. They don’t have guns pointed at them every single time. Yeah bad things happen to cops but they are the ones with power and control in the encounters.
@Mari Jayne as to “simple lawful orders” why don’t you go watch the video of officer brailsford executing a drunk college kid for falling after playing Simon says with him when he’s obviously out of it. Or philando Castile who did exactly as he was told and was shot for it. Go ahead I’m waiting.
@Mari Jayne you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about and it’s obvious that you’ve never been on the receiving end or watched unjustified police violence. Expand your world view. Look up what brailsford did to that poor kid. Or look at Duncan lemp who was shot from outside his home while asleep in bed next to his pregnant wife. Stop licking boots.
@Mari Jayne yes and i have no problem with defense. I have a problem when cops shoot people like duncan lemp asleep in their beds. I have a problem when cops shoot people who pose no threat to them. Thats a problem. There can be nuance to these things, you dont have to just be a chaotic crime boss or a bootlicker.
As an experienced police officer, what this group of idiots did embarrasses me. We call what Cosgrove did “sympathy fire” and it is absolutely not ok. We automatically view officers who actively choose not to wear body cameras as doing something purposefully deceptive, and if any of them worked where I work, they’d have been fired immediately.

@@lolajtek3676 First of all, in the interview between an investigator and Mr. Kenneth right after the shooting, it is clearly stated by Mr. Kenneth that Mrs. Taylor was not holding a gun. It is also stated that when the police started firing, he had dropped down and crawled to the nearest open doorway to him, as shown in this video. These two accounts directly invalidate your arguments. I found this information Louisville police department investigative reports, page 53, if you wish to check for yourself. Secondly, how is your reply connected in any way with the original comment? What the police officer had said was incredibly insensitive, and no dead person should be treated this way.
The Responding officers didn't know every detail to the situation coming in and see a man that put a bullet into an Officers leg. At that point they were treating him poorly, they still have not cleared the rooms knowing what's going on, so they are still involved in an active shooter situation.

you'll think NRA be all over this, since if anyone barges into your home unannounce and all you hear is banging on the door.

But nah, it's the boyfriends fault not the cops... who suspiciously never had body cams during the shooting
@LunKerZ inc. She... didn't? That was Walker. But even if she did, they didn't announce themselves as police. They had no idea who was breaking into their home. They have every right to defend themselves.
Just for clarification, that bodycam is from a uniformed police officer. The plain clothes who went in were not required to wear bodycams. Dumb policy in hindsight, but not a conspiracy.
“My girlfriend is dead.” “ I don’t give a -.” That tells you all need to know about police brutality and cruelty, besides the killing of innocent people..
The statement is definitely mean, but it doesn’t even have anything to do with police brutality and whatnot. You are just trying to connect them to make the officers look bad after they are just defending themselves. Neither parties are in the wrong here because they both were trying to defend themselves.
I bet if he didn't shoot, she never got shot. How many rounds fired? It's amazing that only she was shot, not him and neighbours ect. Unreal..however I'm sure the new bf who also was known to police, thought it was her ex coming in...
@Mari Jayne mate he didn’t commit a crime, I don’t know why your baiting in everyone’s comments. If people break in to your house you have the right to defend yourself.

As far as I'm concerned, it wouldn't have changed a thing. The problem is that they allow no-knock raids at all. Even when cops get the house correct, how they can expect occupants to not think they are being robbed?

You should listen to the clip where he tells the cops Breonna was the one shooting a 9mm. Should also see how she's dead in a hallway and not in her bed. Lastly, you should also see how he used that girl as a shield. Set up the virtual setting of him using her as a shield.

Why is no one mentioning that at 13:40 an officer asked her boyfriend if he had been hit by a bullet and when he said “No.” an officer said “Thats unfortunate.” 😨
Yeah, I noted that as well, that’s fcked up. Something like that is never okay in any situation, even if he was a criminal, which he doesn’t even seem to be. I get that some dangers and mistakes comes with a job, surgeons/doctors lose patients occasionally, and police makes mistakes too. The difference is whether those mistakes could have been prevented, and what the intentions befind an action were. And it’s obvious in this situation that this could have prevented, that the cops bade inexcusable mistakes, and that they acted with an intention to hurt the victims, especially with that comment. I’m not going to say that they deserve live time or something like that, since not all of the officers might be at fault. But the case needs to be investigated more thoroughly, and some punishment has to be given for the mistakes, so that we do not condone that such mistakes are done again. Letting them off free is just telling them, that others can make the same dumb mistakes, which might lead to the loss of lives, with no consequence at all.
What I find interesting is there’s not a single person that looks at this and says “yep, those guys were doing the right thing”. Not a SINGLE PERSON, yet people are still so divided over this specific incident. Strange times.
@Mari Jayne if it were me and there were people in the middle of the night in civilian clothing kicking down the door, I would think it was a home invasion tbh. Not only that but they didn’t announce them selve they just barged in I would start shooting too tbh
@Mari Jayne You realize the hyprocrisy? The boyfriend fired a single, deliberately non lethal shot, while the cops dumped at least 3 mags, admitting that they did not know what they were shooting at. One even completely blind through a window.
Amazing that he’s immediately considered a criminal after police fired almost two dozen shots in the house, while Kenneth didn’t fire anywhere near that
I used to be advocate for the BLM movement, but the facts support the police. Breonna Taylor’s previous boyfriend Jamarcus Glover is a criminal dealer who used her home address for deliveries. She was in business with Jamarcus Glover and other criminals, so there was a no knock warrant for her address (they linked Breonna to known criminals and spotted her vehicle near a suspected drug house). The police officers KNOCKED and announced themselves despite it being a no knock warrant (there’s a witness). The police officers go into the home after not hearing back and are immediately shot at by her new boyfriend Kenneth Walker. Walker shot one of the officers in the leg. The officers were forced to fire back. Unfortunately and tragically Breonna Taylor got caught in the crossfire. She was not shot in her bed execution style, but was standing in the hallway. Walker knew that his gf was standing in the hallway unarmed and defenseless, but fired anyways. The officer that was indicted was for recklessly shooting a different neighbor’s home during the altercation

Any cop who turns off their body cam, covers up their badge number or won't tell their name when asked should be fired. Only reason for you to do any of these is if you did something wrong and don't want anyone to know.
And that was the swat team who at least we're competent and honest (the swat guy interviewed after did not mince words or try cover anything up and called those cops out for blindly firing). Even the "good cops" in this scenario turned the cameras off...
That's literally not corruption. Law and the courts can be damning. Anything you say is literally evidence, once they finished what they had to do there was literally no reason for the public to hear "Their" opinion or thoughts after they finished their work. After a job is done, its common practice for cops to remind each other hey "Camera's off" especially when they're literally not conducting police work, which is the context there, love how Time edited it and made it seem like it was some sort of corruption.
question: why is it okay to raid an apartment when it’s pitch black outside and people are sleeping? what if breonna and her boyfriend never answered the door? Everything about this raid seemed extremely unprofessional
This is a stupid question.1. Because its pitch black 2.because the people would be exhausted in that time and 3. If it would not respond they would kick the door open.
@@ZeeZdagoat You're disgusting. let's not forget that they didn't evacuate any of the other neighbors around during a RAID. As well as another cop *blindly* shooting through windows. It being a "raid" does not justify that an INNOCENT life was taken. You're disgusting if you can defend actions like this
The fact that all those witnesses say they heard nothing with the cops introducing themselves has all kinds of red flags. Also, they wanted to discuss the situation with cameras off. That alone should have had charges against every officer involved. Absolutely ridiculous that this happened.

@@CensoredMercy and I have the complete opposite understanding of the police. Anytime I needed the police they treated me like crap and very much criminal, aggressive, dismissive and arrogant. I have been harassed, threatened and falsely arrested. I remember this one time, I must of been around 14/16yo and I was with my younger brother who suffers from asthma and obviously you have phlegm and he had spit and this cop started threatening us, him first, talking about he can put him in jail, telling him to pick it up and I lost it. I let him know that first of all you are not allowed to be threatening minor's and I ended spitting on the ground to let him know I did not fear him. But there has been so many instances where the police and I do not get along and have numerous stories of bad encounters with them. I suffer from ptsd when it comes to the police. My nerves instantly kick in, my hands get sweaty and I always get agitated quickly with them. I do not like the police approaching me for anything. They make me very uncomfortable and I do not trust them.
45 sec to get out of bed and to the door?! Wtf. And they ADMITTED they heard her yelling who’s there. They admitted her house was dark. What the literal f! All the cops involved should be in jail! And they way they treat her boyfriend on top of all of it is beyond sickening!

@@calilion2485 1. Breonna and her BF didn’t have drugs. 2. Most people who would have drugs are either addicted or selling them. Addiction is mental health condition and it’s often genetic. The treatment is rehab. And it can be very hard to overcome because addiction is when you’re so used to having something that you feel bad without it. Or if they’re selling drugs it’s most often a survival crime. Aka their basic needs haven’t been met because of poverty. So committing a crime is the only way to get what they need. 3. Dating someone who would have drugs isn’t a good reason for someone to be killed. If the police 100% needed to search her house they could have come during the day, knocked on the door and waited politely, and explained why they were there.

As someone who has never really looked into this story, i must say, how truly disgusted I am. I've heard about it, but never knew the details. I of course support all black lives, I believe everyone has a right to live. This one case has really upset my stomach, and I am disgusted how it turned out. im disgusted that finding out NO BODY cameras were on even slid right past the jury. THAT right there should have been enough to fire every single officer there. To hear them talk with the guilt in their voice is grossly terrifying for the future of our country.
I used to be advocate for the BLM movement, but the facts support the police. Breonna Taylor’s previous boyfriend Jamarcus Glover is a criminal dealer who used her home address for deliveries. She was in business with Jamarcus Glover and other criminals, so there was a no knock warrant for her address (they linked Breonna to known criminals and spotted her vehicle near a suspected drug house). The police officers KNOCKED and announced themselves despite it being a no knock warrant (there’s a witness). The police officers go into the home after not hearing back and are immediately shot at by her new boyfriend Kenneth Walker. Walker shot one of the officers in the leg. The officers were forced to fire back. Unfortunately and tragically Breonna Taylor got caught in the crossfire. She was not shot in her bed execution style, but was standing in the hallway. Walker knew that his gf was standing in the hallway unarmed and defenseless, but fired anyways. The officer that was indicted was for recklessly shooting a different neighbor’s home during the altercation
"my girlfriend is dead" "I dont give a- .. keep walking" jeez... I understand its a stressful situation, but the threat is eliminated. I hope she got justice
@@jaypolas4136 Did you miss the part where the literal swat guy calls out the officers for being morons? They shouldn't have raided the place in the first place, especially not with guns, and even if they did, they should've gone in the day, announced themselves and given more time for them to respond, and of course they shouldn't have blindly fired tons of shots in every direction, potentially killing not just the "disgusting drug dealers" but innocent neighbors. Defending this is so idiotic
So unfortunate and heartbreaking, may her soul rest in peace and her family & friends find strength to continue life. I think the entire precinct/department needs to be investigated about their level of training, knowledge and conduct. The way they handled this speaks volumes about how they lacked and due to that they are actually a danger to society.
When officers have body cameras expect more citations. Expect th in ngs to be done more by the book. I've been yelled at by an officer for speeding. Like in my face. I definitely got the message. No more speeding.
breaking a suspect/criminal’s will to resist is a police procedure, both are for the safety of suspect and the police, the person is not considered 100% clear of weapons until a decent body inspection is done you know-nothings have 0 reason to even propose your ignorance here, you don’t do any better but spread your ignorance.

Regardless, it's not good policing. It's absolutely terrible. In fact, it's entirely outside of any reasonable justification to talk down to a detained man. She fails her own department's mission statement.
Emotional policing is terrible policing. I do not care if she had that readied in her head and she didn't mean to say it in relation to her death. I do not care if she was heated because of what happened.
A good peace officer responds with a steady head and professionalism at all times. You cannot convince me that any of this except for the SWAT officers were actually serving the community with the department's values and general professionalism in mind.
It's her job to be equitable, respectful, aware, and objective. She responds emotionally and ridiculously to a man who's already surrendered himself and is detained.
"And the punk who she has just shot someone she works with, do you really think she’s not upset ."
DO YOU REALLY THINK HE ISN'T? After watching his girlfriend bleed out next to him. He's a law abiding citizen. Not a "punk" as you say. He's entirely shattered. Imagine sleeping by your loved one and 3 minutes later she's dead on the floor right next to you. Imagine that.
But the peace officer gets a pass with her unprofessional responses while Kenneth Walker ( a man who has no charges against him, a man who is a legal gun owner, who showed more tact in an unknown situation than the officers by shooting to wound unknown gunmen, and who had to watch his loved one die) gets labeled as a "punk".

These two accounts directly invalidate your arguments. I found this information Louisville police department investigative reports, page 53, if you wish to check for yourself. Secondly, how is your reply connected in any way with the original comment? What the police officer had said was incredibly insensitive, and no dead person should be treated this way.
The Responding officers didn't know every detail to the situation coming in and see a man that put a bullet into an Officers leg. At that point they were treating him poorly, they still have not cleared the rooms knowing what's going on, so they are still involved in an active shooter situation.

Why is no one mentioning that at 13:40 an officer asked her boyfriend if he had been hit by a bullet and when he said “No.” an officer said “Thats unfortunate.” 😨
Yeah, I noted that as well, that’s fcked up. Something like that is never okay in any situation, even if he was a criminal, which he doesn’t even seem to be.
I get that some dangers and mistakes comes with a job, surgeons/doctors lose patients occasionally, and police makes mistakes too. The difference is whether those mistakes could have been prevented, and what the intentions befind an action were.
And it’s obvious in this situation that this could have prevented, that the cops bade inexcusable mistakes, and that they acted with an intention to hurt the victims, especially with that comment.
I’m not going to say that they deserve live time or something like that, since not all of the officers might be at fault.
But the case needs to be investigated more thoroughly, and some punishment has to be given for the mistakes, so that we do not condone that such mistakes are done again. Letting them off free is just telling them, that others can make the same dumb mistakes, which might lead to the loss of lives, with no consequence at all.

@Mari Jayne “you never just blindly start shooting” so how do you explain what the cops did?
@Mari Jayne if it were me and there were people in the middle of the night in civilian clothing kicking down the door, I would think it was a home invasion tbh. Not only that but they didn’t announce them selve they just barged in I would start shooting too tbh
@Mari Jayne You realize the hyprocrisy? The boyfriend fired a single, deliberately non lethal shot, while the cops dumped at least 3 mags, admitting that they did not know what they were shooting at. One even completely blind through a window.
I feel I can NEVER support the police again. I am so ashamed for them. I am so sorry for Breonna and her family and boyfriend. God be with you.
Amazing that he’s immediately considered a criminal after police fired almost two dozen shots in the house, while Kenneth didn’t fire anywhere near that
But he shot first
I used to be advocate for the BLM movement, but the facts support the police. Breonna Taylor’s previous boyfriend Jamarcus Glover is a criminal dealer who used her home address for deliveries. She was in business with Jamarcus Glover and other criminals, so there was a no knock warrant for her address (they linked Breonna to known criminals and spotted her vehicle near a suspected drug house). The police officers KNOCKED and announced themselves despite it being a no knock warrant (there’s a witness). The police officers go into the home after not hearing back and are immediately shot at by her new boyfriend Kenneth Walker. Walker shot one of the officers in the leg. The officers were forced to fire back. Unfortunately and tragically Breonna Taylor got caught in the crossfire. She was not shot in her bed execution style, but was standing in the hallway. Walker knew that his gf was standing in the hallway unarmed and defenseless, but fired anyways. The officer that was indicted was for recklessly shooting a different neighbor’s home during the altercation
@@jorgemorales3632 In self defence....When he was terrified and had no idea who was invading...... practicing the second amendment with caution.....aiming for the thigh and not going on a rampage and shooting 16 bullets haphazardly like one of them did.....Not moral licensing himself to take a life even though he knew he wasn't the bad guy in that scenario where someone was breaking into his house at midnight.
He has a conscience man :(
@@safwanumer5787 yeah but the police also didn’t know there was someone else with Taylor so they 1. Were doing a search warrant on someone who was dating a drug dealer 2. Never knew Taylor was with a boyfriends and 3. Got shot in the thigh as soon as they executed said search warrant so it was a horrible accident but a justified one

15:23 "Camera's off there bud." Can you imagine anyone else getting away with such blatant corruption? Full on out in the open, on recording, telling everyone to turn off their cameras so they can get their stories straight. Classic "debriefing" where you don't want to have a recording of the accounts immediately following the incident and preempting official attempts to collect information.
This is scary smh
And the corrupt District attorney backs their lies, typical collusion.
Any cop who turns off their body cam, covers up their badge number or won't tell their name when asked should be fired. Only reason for you to do any of these is if you did something wrong and don't want anyone to know.
And that was the swat team who at least we're competent and honest (the swat guy interviewed after did not mince words or try cover anything up and called those cops out for blindly firing).
Even the "good cops" in this scenario turned the cameras off...
That's literally not corruption. Law and the courts can be damning. Anything you say is literally evidence, once they finished what they had to do there was literally no reason for the public to hear "Their" opinion or thoughts after they finished their work. After a job is done, its common practice for cops to remind each other hey "Camera's off" especially when they're literally not conducting police work, which is the context there, love how Time edited it and made it seem like it was some sort of corruption.
question: why is it okay to raid an apartment when it’s pitch black outside and people are sleeping? what if breonna and her boyfriend never answered the door? Everything about this raid seemed extremely unprofessional
The Police prefer this tactic. Shock and awe so to speak, makes you confused and disoriented from the surprise of it.
@@jefflewis4 But they expect you to answer the door within 45 seconds.
Do you know what a raid is?
This is a stupid question.1. Because its pitch black 2.because the people would be exhausted in that time and 3. If it would not respond they would kick the door open.
@@ZeeZdagoat You're disgusting. let's not forget that they didn't evacuate any of the other neighbors around during a RAID. As well as another cop *blindly* shooting through windows. It being a "raid" does not justify that an INNOCENT life was taken. You're disgusting if you can defend actions like this
The fact that all those witnesses say they heard nothing with the cops introducing themselves has all kinds of red flags. Also, they wanted to discuss the situation with cameras off. That alone should have had charges against every officer involved. Absolutely ridiculous that this happened.
Why do I imagine these officers just quietly announcing themselves just loud enough for the other cops to hear but no one else?
Best journalistic investigative video,, ever seen!
Agreed!
Don’t know if I trust it 100%. It’s not very often anyone tells the truth anymore, whether it seems pretty and fits your beliefs or not, take it with a grain of salt.
@@Allen-qn3vj agreed
@@Allen-qn3vj New York Times tends to do a good job with sourcing and being credible. Their not as biased as other news stations. And most of the news stories ive seen just give you the facts and let you decide on your own what should be done rather than giving any opinion from the writer or narrator. Idk that’s what I have noticed
@@Allen-qn3vj all police records recorded interviews bullet holes audio police testimony I’m literally scared by how much you can even second guess this

“I don’t give a f-“
Only a evil person would say something like that.
@@robbb416 If you think about it, its almost an admission of guilt without any guilt.
@@CensoredMercy absolutely, but this is how they have always been.the only reason it has become a trend is because it's being caught on tape. They do this, do worse and say worse. They have never been someone to trust. It's like I keep pointing out now too. How come they do not use that excuse of "it's a few bad apples" and it's because the more they divert from the truth and try to cover the sun with their thumb it always comes out to light. You know, it all goes full circle. They can hide, pretend and manipulate all they want but sooner or later it will all catch up to you and they are reaping what they sow.
@@robbb416 Im actually Canadian, and though our Police is still flawed where I live they work for the community and by the community. I can feel safe calling an officer for help almost any time or being at the mercy of one.
@@CensoredMercy and I have the complete opposite understanding of the police. Anytime I needed the police they treated me like crap and very much criminal, aggressive, dismissive and arrogant. I have been harassed, threatened and falsely arrested. I remember this one time, I must of been around 14/16yo and I was with my younger brother who suffers from asthma and obviously you have phlegm and he had spit and this cop started threatening us, him first, talking about he can put him in jail, telling him to pick it up and I lost it. I let him know that first of all you are not allowed to be threatening minor's and I ended spitting on the ground to let him know I did not fear him. But there has been so many instances where the police and I do not get along and have numerous stories of bad encounters with them. I suffer from ptsd when it comes to the police. My nerves instantly kick in, my hands get sweaty and I always get agitated quickly with them. I do not like the police approaching me for anything. They make me very uncomfortable and I do not trust them.
45 sec to get out of bed and to the door?! Wtf. And they ADMITTED they heard her yelling who’s there. They admitted her house was dark. What the literal f! All the cops involved should be in jail! And they way they treat her boyfriend on top of all of it is beyond sickening!
@Evan so?
@Evan you’re not rushing to a door if you hear banging late at night either way 😑 ignorant
How else would they treat him after he shot at them?
@@dominichiebert5715 it is their fault he shot any patriotic American who owns a gun is going to defend thier home
Imagine being in the comfort of your home, sleeping soundly with the person you love, and then have the people that are supposed to protect you and keep you safe barge into your home and take your life. Just like that. Unbelievable. Uncalled for. Horrendous. RIP Breonna ♥︎
Bro was a dealer tho 😅
Yeah, the cops were wrong on this one.
Naw just dont shoot at cops or dont sell drugs and expect not to get caught.. on a side note also maybe just maybe dont drive with dead bodies in the trunk
@@calilion2485 everything you just said can be easily fact checked and you know what...non of what you said is true. Back to your ill-informed drawing board
@@rodrickwells2746 and dont date career criminals (:
@@calilion2485
1. Breonna and her BF didn’t have drugs.
2. Most people who would have drugs are either addicted or selling them. Addiction is mental health condition and it’s often genetic. The treatment is rehab. And it can be very hard to overcome because addiction is when you’re so used to having something that you feel bad without it. Or if they’re selling drugs it’s most often a survival crime. Aka their basic needs haven’t been met because of poverty. So committing a crime is the only way to get what they need.
3. Dating someone who would have drugs isn’t a good reason for someone to be killed. If the police 100% needed to search her house they could have come during the day, knocked on the door and waited politely, and explained why they were there.
@@artisticchilddrawing4086 uhhh he was a career criminal and they did sell drugs. The dude went to jail multiple times and didnt they found a dead body in her trunk when she was alive ??
As someone who has never really looked into this story, i must say, how truly disgusted I am. I've heard about it, but never knew the details. I of course support all black lives, I believe everyone has a right to live. This one case has really upset my stomach, and I am disgusted how it turned out. im disgusted that finding out NO BODY cameras were on even slid right past the jury. THAT right there should have been enough to fire every single officer there. To hear them talk with the guilt in their voice is grossly terrifying for the future of our country.

That's the standard mentality for a cop in America. They do not value human life, unless it's their own.
There was no threat to begin with
@@WeticoLivesOn bias
@@guerian84 getting shot at isnt a threat?
@@jaypolas4136 Did you miss the part where the literal swat guy calls out the officers for being morons? They shouldn't have raided the place in the first place, especially not with guns, and even if they did, they should've gone in the day, announced themselves and given more time for them to respond, and of course they shouldn't have blindly fired tons of shots in every direction, potentially killing not just the "disgusting drug dealers" but innocent neighbors.
Defending this is so idiotic
So unfortunate and heartbreaking, may her soul rest in peace and her family & friends find strength to continue life.
I think the entire precinct/department needs to be investigated about their level of training, knowledge and conduct. The way they handled this speaks volumes about how they lacked and due to that they are actually a danger to society.
Every law enforcement officer in the nation should have a functioning body cam period !!!!
There supposed to be on board t ya know some how they were allowed to have them off
Well if people take the money away, they can’t afford enough body cams.
Yeah, that could happen if people stop screaming to defund police because turns out you need money to get body cams
It’s so sad to see the USA from outside lookin in.
When officers have body cameras expect more citations. Expect th in ngs to be done more by the book. I've been yelled at by an officer for speeding. Like in my face. I definitely got the message. No more speeding.
Cop: "Keep Walking Backwards"
Man: "I'm scared."
Cop: *Makes situation even worse by introducing dog and increasing voice volume.*
Very professional, yes...
breaking a suspect/criminal’s will to resist is a police procedure, both are for the safety of suspect and the police, the person is not considered 100% clear of weapons until a decent body inspection is done

@@ikebook6761 breonna was a former drug dealer and they had a search warrant the boyfriend shot knowing it was the police and he didn’t get hit or grazed once after 30 shots and the officer said “ they were standing right next to each other like they were fused” so if he shot and didn’t get hit but she got hit seven times that doesn’t make any sense
@@TriStAn-zi5gc he thought it was an inturder actual explenation

I’m amazed at how this doesn’t happen more often seen as 32% of Americans own a firearm. Like how is the police not taking that into account? People are gonna shoot at you if they don’t know you’re police…
The want people to shoot back so they can justify their murderous rampage
@@thatf_inguy8220 10 years ago i would have considered that a conspiracy theory but now i'm pretty sure that's what happens.
Don't blame this on fire arms blame stupid cops who clearly don't know what they are doing without fire arms we would all be in danger how would we protect our self
Just shows how bad the police screwed up here. They are supposed to clearly announce their presence and give people time to answer the door. These idiots didnt
Precisely.
It’s even more egregious when you realize another woman and a 2 year old child could have been killed that night through police incompetence. The way they treated her boyfriend just about says it all
Breonna's sister was so fortunate she was not home at this time. My god, she wouldn't have stood a chance.

“Worry about” as in the two separate departments had different locations and the swat took the one that may be more dangerous because the actual ex boyfriend was there and probably considered dangerous. While the other location the police executed was supposed to be less aggressive and easy.
