Prepare for another nightly jogging session, that will probably spread across the US and last for weeks. The Grand Jury made their decision on the Breonna Taylor case today and people are upset. Louisville is in preemptive lockdown, but that probably won't stop anything.
The racial angle is doing us a massive disservice in this case because it is, as you say, otherwise fascinating. The cops are serving this warrant at an apartment because confronting these people in public ostensibly puts more innocent people in danger. Yet, it’s an apartment building, so there will be innocent lives at risk regardless. So that’s the play? Do you refuse to pursue criminals if they happen to live in an apartment? Do criminals respond by operating exclusively in apartments? At some point, don’t you have to blame the terrorists for setting up shop in the hospital? Even then, do we maybe expect our police to adhere to niggling little requirements like “being able to see what you’re shooting at”?
It really is the perfect case for a hard look at the way police handle these things. But instead, the national conversation is questioning the concept of codified legal systems.

They only charged one officer - with reckless endangerment. He blindly discharged ten shots and hit no one.
He was essentially charged with failing to shoot Breonna Taylor lol
This would normally be an interesting case. Is it his fault someone made him a gunner?

Tragic accident. But not sure why they thought they could get a murder charge.
