What the $12M Breonna Taylor Family Settlement Means for Police

[@VICENews]

The family of Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old EMT worker killed in a botched no-knock raid in March, has agreed to a record $12 million settlement with the city of Louisville - one that will include substantial, lasting changes to policing, including the mandatory use of body cameras during police raids.

[@stefaniebrennan7726]

@derty QWERTY 42°N no. her ex boyfriend (who lived at a different address) was a drug dealer. the police alleged that she was receiving 'suspicious packages' in the mail when applying for the (now illegal) no-knock warrant. however, the postmaster general has vigorously denied these claims. no evidence of drugs, drug paraphernalia, large amounts of cash or illegal firearms were found at her house. no evidence of drug dealing was found at her house, period. multiple neighbours have confirmed her boyfriends claims that the police didn't identify themselves when knocking/before breaching the door. her boyfriend legally owned his firearm. none of the police officers rendered first aid. one of the police officers when AWOL for hours after the botched raid. i would suggest you research media sources, concerning both their factual accuracy and biases, before regurgitating falsities. have a blessed day.

Mistake implies, that they would admit to being wrong and work to get better. This is not a mistake. This is not misconduct. And this is not excessive force. It is murder, plain and simple. And all officers involved should spend the rest of their lives in prison, including their supervisors and commanding officer (as co-conspirators).

@C D Ah, my mistake about the place, but looking at the crime scene photos, the police shot haphazardly into the home, and Breonna collapsed where she was shot and the bullets went through (so meatshield is out of the question).

You're just parroting the same mindless spew from alt right media. Everything you wrote, with the exception of the warrant being in her name, is false. Yes, she was employed. No, they did not find evidence of drugs in her home nor did she have any prior convictions of anything drug related. Her ex boyfriend (person of interest) is the reason she was in the warrant because a package in _the ex's name_ (confirmed not drugs) was delivered to her house (without her consent). An outside independent investigation concluded that Brianna should have never been served a warrant in the first place. So yes, this women is indeed a victim. Bad taste in men doesn't warrant someone's execution.

I've read enough to believe that Breona Taylor was heavily involved with her boyfriend's drug selling, and perhaps tragically, at best, she was killed accidentally in the exchange of gunfire initiated by her boyfriend. If that is the case, there is no criminal intent by the officers, it's a tragic and horrible mistake. The city is simply settling for that, knowing that in today's climate, they could potently lose several times more by a vindictive jury; and the family knows that the city could potentially fight it and delay the suit for years.

@Latoya austin That's why I stated "at worst" case, Breona was mistakenly shot 8 times. If you're in close proximity to a person shooting at the police, you're probably going to catch a few bullets. They are justified in firing back when fired upon, and they're not going to fire one time, wait to see if the threat was stopped, fire one more time if not, wait to see again, etc. They are going to fire several times, until the threat is stopped, especially when raiding a trap house.

No nock warrants are bad, but they are ignoring her involvement in drug trafficking. She was no innocent princess, but that narrative has to be pushed i guess.

[@ginabraun8843]

why is no knock warrant being passed when the fact that police did announce themselves. A judge approved that warrant and the police should've followed it AND NOT have KNOCKED.

They didn't announce themselves. That's the problem.

Why are 'they' distracting us with this news? What is really going on?
