Interestingly enough, in the Taylor case, they were scoping out her ex-boyfriend, who she hadn't been dating/living with for 2 years. A few things:
1) He was already arrested at the time of the raid.
2) Breonna's address wasn't his address.
3) They tried to offer him a plea which was contingent on him testifying under oath that Breonna was involved in his drug ring, which he refused to do. He took jail time instead.
4) The warrant for Breonna's apartment is based on an unnamed postal delivery worker telling one of the detectives (s)he had personally delivered a package from the ex boyfriend to Breonna's apartment. To this date, that postal worker hasn't been brought forth. Furthermore, Breonna's ACTUAL postal delivery person, as well as the person cops usually coordinate these investigations with, both say the cops didn't ask them shit, and that they hadn't delivered any such packages. In other words, they made it up.
5) 11 witnesses said they didn't hear the cops knock or announce themselves, despite the cops testifying that they knocked "several" times and announced themselves. What witnesses did hear was a single knock, followed almost immediately by the battering ram, which, guess what, is a favorite tactic of cops serving warrants so that suspects can't flush drugs and shit like that.
6) Her actual boyfriend, who shot at the cops, clearly had no idea they were cops, as evidenced by his 9/11 call where he reported men coming in and shooting his girlfriend.
7) the boyfriend, who was charged with a bunch of shit for shooting at the cops, had all the charges dropped because prosecutors know they couldn't prove he knew they were cops and shot anyways.
4) is enough to make the warrant a bad faith warrant, putting them on the hook for fucking murder when they broke into her apartment.
We deserve what ever negativity that comes from this as a country.

ONE WITNESS SAID THEY DID AND ELEVEN said they didn't
Also "no knock warrant" why are they suddenly knocking? Why were there no cameras? why did they say there were no cameras but then it turns out there was a camera Why did the officers render no aid to herWHY DID THE OFFICERS LIE ON THE POLICE REPORT?
Why did the officers OFFER TO GO EASY ON THE BOYFRIEND IF HE SAID BREONNA TAYLOR WAS INVOLVED IN A CRIME.
If you take one witness you must take them all. But hey you support fascism and genocide, and murder, and racism and injustice. So why would you give a fuck?
What about the fact that THE POSTMASTER refuted their original reason they gave for the warrant? What happened to the mysterious other postmaster not from kentucky that found something the postmaster from Kentucky didn't and didn't know. Where is that fantastical postmaster?
This isnt a settled fact. So not sure why you or @Edge are trying to act like it is.
They say that. Problem is none of them had body cameras on to actually VERIFY their claim that they announced themselves. And in context with their attempts to cover up what happened, I see no reason to believe them on that claim when they've lied after the fact.
One witness. Again, too bad the cops weren't wearing body cameras. And again, if they're gonna lie after the fact in their police reports, why should we believe anything they say?Cameron said the investigation uncovered one witness who heard the detectives identify themselves, disputing earlier reports that a “no-knock” warrant was being served. However, Taylor family attorneys have disputed this, and police were not wearing body cameras.
Why?
The AG took a single witness account as settled fact there are eleven other witnesses who say they did not and furthermore why would they knock and announce themselves in what they called a no knock warrant, although then they changed it to a "search warrant" but searches at 12:30 you gotta be fucking kidding me, it is clear they're lying.
In fact we know they lie because they lied on the police report also they asked the boyfriend to say that Breonna committed a crime and then they'd go soft on him. They said there were no cameras there, yet photos surfaced after where ONE OFFICER IS CLEARLY WEARING A CAMERA Why wasn't that camera on?
You disagree that gay black transgender rights is not a "two sides issue"??? So you think therefore that there is a good reason to be bigoted and not treat us as equal.... ergo; you're expressing bigoted ideas. Don't be shocked or surprised when people call you racist, or bigoted since you here are giving an argument that is straight up bigoted.
Since everything is a two sides issue...
Tell me why I should be a slave, and why I shouldn't be allowed to get married, and why it is okay for me to be turned down from say... getting on a bus because I'm gay. What is the "two sides" to this. I'd love to hear it.
Yeah, no they didn't.

Yeah, going to go with the other witnesses over one guy, that thinks they announced themselves. I will also go with the boyfriend that was inside the house and would know if they announced themselves.
I'm not twisting shit, you've said the shit in your thousands of posts.
Rittenhouse victims however were there fighting for the rights of black people... while Rittenhouse was there with a racist militia being thanked and given water by racist cops
You know that white allies of black people fighting for civil rights were also lynched right?
