@@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.
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.
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
"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?
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

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.
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.
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
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.

When the police got into the house Brianna Taylor was sitting with her boyfriend and her boyfriend had a gun and shot a police officer So everyone else I started shooting at the gunman so she was caught in the crossfire it was an accident sometimes I think you people have a brain but don’t use it
@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.
‘My girlfriend is dead.’ ‘I don’t give a- keep walking! Stop!’ How cold-hearted did you have to be to say something like that? Cops are supposed to protect citizens, yet one was dying on your hands and you said you didn’t care.

@@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. I mean with all that are you surprised they weren't too friendly to him at that moment?

@@EliEli-vf4yy i think you need to understand how the criminal law system works first before you comment....Self-defense is a defense based on justification that allows a defendant to use physical force to protect himself or herself from injury or death. .......meaning shooting at someone when your front door gets kicked in doesn't count as self defense...but returning fire when you're fired upon does count as self defense.......I'm not on the cop's side here, but if taylor's BF didn't grab his gun that night nobody would know who any of these people are bc nobody would have been killed that night.
@@peterjabattack1 No other witnesses can confirm the police's claim that they announced themselves adequately, and judging by the rest of the police's incompetence on display in this video, I'm disinclined to believe them. They look like a bunch of hot-headed morons who just burst down the front door in the dark. Whatever your stance on gun ownership is, it's easy to see why someone who does own a gun for self defense would want to use it in a situation like that. And he's legally in the clear, so who are you to say that what he did was wrong?
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

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.
@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.

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.

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.
That's actually pretty normal, even for people who have been in shootouts before. There are accounts of soldiers, after months of heavy fighting, who just have no recollection of a series of events, even if the people around them attest to said person not panicking.

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.

Those SWAT guys seem real professional and cool headed and during the raid itself you can clearly see they are trying to document as much as possible.
@@luiskp7173 It's about accountability. These body-cam videos aren't publicly available, unless it's either the policy of the respective police department to do so, or a relevant authority has ordered it made so. Therefore, there is no good reason to not keep a video record of the debrief. If for no other reason, than to the preclude suspicion that they have something to hide. A suspicion which, given the facts of this particular case, would seem justified.
@@luiskp7173 yes, and it’s a very intense adrenaline dumping shock inducing scenario. I have the upmost respect for police. Your guy blind firing was not professional, and before putting someone in a life or death situation you would figure you would give someone more then a couple of seconds in the middle of the night when your asleep. Why should we care that we are listing to there debrief. (In todays world I do understand how words can be twisted especially in such a sensitive topic but if it was video of us, it would be subpoenaed and used against us in court why does it matter so much fun it’s on the other foot).
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
@@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
It's not just poor training. They have too much power. They're legally unaccountable and given vast sums of wealth and troves of weapons to do whatever they want with. Most police have aggressive Type A personalities that are only emboldened through the policing culture. There's only one solution; you have to take their power (money) and give them full civil and criminal liability for what they do.
That's what you get when you lower standard requirements to meet politically correct quota's. People who weren't smart enough to pass get in because the PC morons think it's more important than having someone with the right mentality to do the job!
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.
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.
It's 12 am, not everyone's gonna hear banging outside their room then also outside their apartment. Through the courts its only confirmed that the only neighbor who was 100% in a position to actually hear what officers were doing, was literally the one who said he heard officers announce.
@@timmysmith9991 And yet spin it any other way, There's literally not enough evidence to say they didn't. The facts as they are now, present no substantial evidence to make the claim they didn't announce, it just slightly favors in the rule of the officers, the neighbor above the apartment was the only one in a position of knowing 1. the officers presence outside 2. aware of what seems like a raid/police activity that needed secrecy or his immediate leave of the scene. because the neighbors ALSO said they didn't hear anyone knocking even though it was confirmed they did. Even in their testimonies some mentioned they "woke up" to the knocking. The court provided justice by dropping the charges on her boyfriend, since all they have to go on is hearsay.
@@MrfunnyNacho did you watch the video? That neighbour literally said no at first. Then months later said his memory was foggy. Did you come here just to comment without watching?

@@ComesTheLight The guy who shot the police didn't die so its presumptuous to assume everyone in the apartment would have been killed. Really no one would have died if Breonna's boyfriend didn't shoot a cop.
@@joerogaine3093 - No one would have died if the police hadn't lied to get the Judge to sign off on a no-knock search warrant that was then executed by trigger happy cops, unannounced, on the wrong house in the middle of the night. Place blame where it belongs.
@@TOUGHANDMANIK The cops made themselves known by shouting "Warrant Sherriff's department". They even have witnesses in the apartment complex that say they announced themselves before entering.
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.

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.

@@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.
This made me cry for that brother crying for his dead girlfriend.. I lost my girlfriend/future wife from child birth, nothing hurts your soul more then losing your life partner, my dreams of having a home, more babies, and getting old together with her is gone.. heart breaking for sure.. 14:00
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.
@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.

@@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.

@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.
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.

@@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. I mean with all that are you surprised they weren't too friendly to him at that moment?
Turning off a camera at any time, place or situation should be an immediate reason for dismissal without further consideration

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.

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 ??
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 The problem was communication and the officers not fully understanding what was happening.
i tell you this, those police officers did great!
@@earlybird6064 Not at all
No one?
You skipped over the bit where the black police chief actually stood by the actions of his officers.
What’s sad is that SWAT officer is probably being treated like a snitch. Cops need better training
seems like SWAT had a different boss and culture.
You are shot. At that point you are protecting yourself out of self defense. That's the law
Tbh they do cuz it to easy to become a cop
deff more mental evaluations
to get better training we need to fund police more but whenever this happens people alwayys call to defund them for some reason
keyboard cops: "breonna taylor's shooting was justified because her boyfriend shot "at the cops!"
keyboard cops: "ahmaud arbery's shooting was justified because he attempted to prevent the shooters from shooting him!"
what's next?
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
“Turn off the cameras”
That was for the SWAT debrief. It can get very emotional, and part of it is expressing how everyone felt (that’s why they asked for camera’s off) specially so in a case like this, when they were called knowing nothing and encountered this botched raid and a dead person. Those SWAT guys seem real professional and cool headed and during the raid itself you can clearly see they are trying to document as much as possible.
@@luiskp7173
It's about accountability. These body-cam videos aren't publicly available, unless it's either the policy of the respective police department to do so, or a relevant authority has ordered it made so. Therefore, there is no good reason to not keep a video record of the debrief. If for no other reason, than to the preclude suspicion that they have something to hide. A suspicion which, given the facts of this particular case, would seem justified.
Jaxon ivie, you took that out of context.
@@luiskp7173 yes, and it’s a very intense adrenaline dumping shock inducing scenario. I have the upmost respect for police. Your guy blind firing was not professional, and before putting someone in a life or death situation you would figure you would give someone more then a couple of seconds in the middle of the night when your asleep. Why should we care that we are listing to there debrief. (In todays world I do understand how words can be twisted especially in such a sensitive topic but if it was video of us, it would be subpoenaed and used against us in court why does it matter so much fun it’s on the other foot).
@@guysovereign Just saying what he said
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
@@safwanumer5787 ruclips.net/video/kU6QxDSvZVY/видео.html
This is beyond sad. Those officers need to be fired and charged. The poor man was so genuine but those officers were so heartless.
American police are amazingly poorly trained.
Too many of them are just LARPers that don't think of the real life consequences of their actions.
In Indonesia, d police make a movie 😂
And people think defunding them will somehow help
It's not just poor training. They have too much power. They're legally unaccountable and given vast sums of wealth and troves of weapons to do whatever they want with. Most police have aggressive Type A personalities that are only emboldened through the policing culture. There's only one solution; you have to take their power (money) and give them full civil and criminal liability for what they do.
That's what you get when you lower standard requirements to meet politically correct quota's. People who weren't smart enough to pass get in because the PC morons think it's more important than having someone with the right mentality to do the job!
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.
Just notice how professional the swat team is. Smh those first lot of cops are an absolute disgrace, throw them in jail
Right the man explaining procedures👏👏👏
It's almost like the swat team has triple the training of normal police officers.
15:00 got me
@Mari Jayne throw the murdering police in jail first
@Mari Jayne why do you think that?
how do you expect someone within 45s to be awake and at the door at midnight? this is crazy
Not one neighbor heard the cops announced themselves. All the surrounding neighbors would not have called the cops if they knew it was the cops!
It's 12 am, not everyone's gonna hear banging outside their room then also outside their apartment. Through the courts its only confirmed that the only neighbor who was 100% in a position to actually hear what officers were doing, was literally the one who said he heard officers announce.
and THE ENTIRE grand jury case is based on a altered testimony. All of it.
@@timmysmith9991 And yet spin it any other way, There's literally not enough evidence to say they didn't. The facts as they are now, present no substantial evidence to make the claim they didn't announce, it just slightly favors in the rule of the officers, the neighbor above the apartment was the only one in a position of knowing 1. the officers presence outside 2. aware of what seems like a raid/police activity that needed secrecy or his immediate leave of the scene. because the neighbors ALSO said they didn't hear anyone knocking even though it was confirmed they did. Even in their testimonies some mentioned they "woke up" to the knocking. The court provided justice by dropping the charges on her boyfriend, since all they have to go on is hearsay.
@@MrfunnyNacho did you watch the video? That neighbour literally said no at first. Then months later said his memory was foggy. Did you come here just to comment without watching?
@@MrfunnyNacho I hear my neighbors right now on a different floor, in a different section of the building.
Look at how he was treated by the police. What a disgrace!
He asked what it was about and told to shut up.
Told them mutiple times she needed help and they literally said I don't care
Courtesy professionalism and respect... my man
Sobbing in tears: My girlfriend just died....
Female cop: What... I don't give a f*** keep walking!!!
I was like: ooh that's cold🥲
I think it's funny
guilty until proven innocent
He started shooting at them. Can't really complain when he shot first
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.
@@ComesTheLight The guy who shot the police didn't die so its presumptuous to assume everyone in the apartment would have been killed. Really no one would have died if Breonna's boyfriend didn't shoot a cop.
@@joerogaine3093 - No one would have died if the police hadn't lied to get the Judge to sign off on a no-knock search warrant that was then executed by trigger happy cops, unannounced, on the wrong house in the middle of the night. Place blame where it belongs.
@@joerogaine3093 how was he supposed to know it was a cop?
@@TOUGHANDMANIK The cops made themselves known by shouting "Warrant Sherriff's department". They even have witnesses in the apartment complex that say they announced themselves before entering.
Victory ✌️ for Breanna Taylor🌹
Amen 🙏
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.

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.
This made me cry for that brother crying for his dead girlfriend.. I lost my girlfriend/future wife from child birth, nothing hurts your soul more then losing your life partner, my dreams of having a home, more babies, and getting old together with her is gone.. heart breaking for sure.. 14:00
rip
so sorry 😞
❤️🙏🏽
Sending love ❤️
Don't involve yourself in criminal activity, and you won't get shot by police. Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend had warrants against them.
Update: the detective turned state witness, all officers indicted. They lied n tried to cover up the crime.
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.
This is just a whole mess they should all be fired for their poor assessment of the situation and how they handled it.
@Mari Jayne The police did not identify themselves. From the view of the boyfriend it might aswell had been a home intruder.
@Mari Jayne *Criticizes blindly shooting
*Police blindly shoot but even more
*Calls the other person a hypocrite like a boss
@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.
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
