i think this is... they should just ban the no knock entry,and those officers need to b fired,they should have announced themselves,and breonna deserves her justice.

# data[].attributes.body
Its just terrible how now a days cops need more training them ever because becoming a police officer in the U.S. its requires 2 months to be a officer but the rest of the country's require like a year but its crazy and i feel just sorry for the taylor family because its just sad. Brianna didn't had a fire arm with her. Just shooting a person who doesn't have a fire arm isn't right. The police should had said to them "We are the police come out" but instead had to break in its just crazy now a days

# data[].attributes.body
I think its unfair because they deserved more than what they got , then their killers were let lose without getting very bad charges

# data[].attributes.body
They should redo the verdict for Breonna Taylor its an unfair verdict for murder

i think they should ban the no knock

It is a sad moment for us all to see another case of bad cops causing arm to or communities. They are supposed to protect us under their own oath and it seems they fail that time and time again.

i feel like it was unfair because she did nothing wrong.The only affect it had on me was not to call the police for nothing

they are mainly saying that being charged for shooting through the wall or whatever is more important than being charged for the murder of breonna taylor.. ok not surprised

In the Nation of islam we are taught that "you can not fathom the depth of satan" Elijah Muhammad. So at this point America has shown us that they will not give us justice for the wrong they commit. Breonna's case is not the only case where the police have wrongfully killed a black person and we were not given justice. Seeing that Breonna's Murder's were not convicted is not surprising to me at all. We have see multiple times that guilty police and or white people where set free or not convicted even with evidence showing that they were wrong. Emmett Till, George Floyd, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, etc.

I knew it would happen that way and I was prepared for it but as I said in my Spanish class , The awareness that was brought to her case sets a standard of involvement in cases like hers. No longer will the cops be able to sweep things like this under the rug. Knowing that eases the pain of the verdict .

It's being said the only appropriate justice for Breonna Taylor would be for her to have not been killed in the first place. Barring that, we hoped to at least see the officers involved charged. A lot of hope was lost as Breonna Taylor's family was paid off by the city of Louisville in a $12 million wrongful death settlement, which while it also came with stipulations for new regulations for policing, many saw as a concession that the guilty officers would likely not face charges. This was made clearer as the city of Louisville closed many of it's public offices for the week in the vicinity of the Courthouse, and all over the city windows were boarded up in anticipation of protests. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The verdict has now been handed down, and no murder charges are being pressed. 3 of the 4 officers will face no charges at all. Former detective Brett Hankinson, who prior to the shooting of Breonna Taylor had a problematic record within his department, was charged with 3 counts of wanton endangerment for firing into the apartment that adjoined Taylor's. He was booked Wednesday afternoon, to be released half an hour later after posting $15,000 bond. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The sentiment about Breonna being used rings too true. We've become a nation that's learned new household names in the wake of an extremely broken system. Our latest figureheads are not pop stars or sports heroes, they're mostly young, mostly Black people that have been murdered by police, and we use them as symbols of the ways we are broken. To try to opt out, to be a non-participant now is to effectively endorse violence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyone that thinks they can wait this out, that it will pass without affecting them, should see that as a stark example of the privilege they experience. We owe it to Breonna Taylor to keep up the fight, and not let her name be forgotten. Using our platforms for visibility is all well and good, but we also need to stay involved in the process. * #breonnataylor #blacklivesmatter #allblacklivesmatter #justiceforbreonnataylor #sayhername #saytheirnames #sayhisname #vote

On Sep. 23, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced that a grand jury wouldn't charge Louisville police officers with killing Breonna Taylor.

Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was shot to death by police in her apartment, has become an icon of racial injustice, and the grief over the attorney general's announcement sparked more protests in Louisville, where at least two police officers were shot.

The controversy over one of the country's most contentious police killings has also splashed across social media platforms with misinformation not far behind.

Some of these inaccurate posts promise "the truth" about Breonna Taylor, only to make claims under dispute or not supported by evidence.

Here are some of the most common social media claims about the shooting of Breonna Taylor, fact-checked:

"She was knee deep in criminal/drug dealing activities w/ her ex boyfriend" and "she was under surveillance for months running drugs"

These claims are False. They exaggerate Taylor's involvement in the investigation that led to police targeting her apartment and ignore the fact that much of the evidence linking her to that investigation has been disputed.

According to a detailed police investigative report obtained by the Louisville Courier Journal, the investigation primarily centered on other individuals, including Jamarcus Glover, Taylor's ex-boyfriend. The documents show that Taylor came to the attention of police officers through her association with Glover, a convicted drug dealer. Police surveilled addresses Glover frequently visited, including Taylor's apartment.

Glover was not the man with Taylor on the night that she was killed, and according to the Taylor family's lawyer, Taylor had cut ties with Glover before the shooting.

Police suspected that Taylor was keeping narcotics or cash for Glover for several reasons: A car registered in her name had stopped at a separate property under surveillance; Glover listed her apartment as his home address; Glover frequently traveled between her apartment and a drug house; and Glover had picked up a package at her home.

None of this supports the Facebook posts' claims that she was "running drugs" and "knee deep in criminal/drug dealing activities." The presence of a relationship between Glover and Taylor does not prove that she was a drug runner.

Furthermore, the posts don't mention that the evidence linking Taylor to the investigation of Glover and his associates has been fiercely contested.

The Taylor family's attorney has said that the package that Glover picked up contained clothes and shoes. In an interview with the Louisville Courier Journal, Glover said that he sent packages to Taylor's apartment because he was worried that deliveries to his house would be stolen.

Since Taylor's death, additional information has come to light tying her to Glover. Weeks after the shooting, a police memo was leaked to the Courier-Journal that included a summary of a phone call Glover made from jail hours after Taylor was shot. In the call, Glover claimed that he was storing money in Taylor's apartment. However, police found no illicit cash in Taylor's home, and none of these details were included in the search warrant application to the judge. The Louisville Police themselves criticized the leak, calling it "irrelevant to our goal of obtaining justice" and "simply not helpful."

In addition, Glover later reversed his statements, telling the Courier-Journal that Taylor wasn't involved in drug dealing and that she hadn't been storing money for him. In an interview with NBC News, Glover's attorney Scott Barton said that his client has long held that "Breonna Taylor had nothing to do with any drug transactions."

Glover refused to implicate Taylor despite the fact that he may have been under pressure to do so. Attorneys for Taylor's family say that prosecutors presented Glover with a plea bargain that suggested he'd get reduced charges for incriminating her. (Prosecutors say that the plea bargain was a rough draft.)

"She was not asleep in her bed" and "Breonna Taylor's boyfriend shot at police officers first."

These claims are true. According to interviews with Kenneth Walker, Taylor's boyfriend who was with her in the apartment, the two of them were in bed at 12:40 a.m. when they heard someone banging loudly on the door.

Walker said that he initially feared that it was Glover attempting to force his way in. Walker grabbed his gun, which was legally registered under his name.

According to Walker, both he and Taylor asked who was at the door multiple times but received no answer. The two of them were walking toward the door when police used a battering ram to bust into the apartment. Unable to see who was breaking in, Walker fired his weapon, and, according to police, struck an officer in the femoral artery. Police returned fire, striking Taylor multiple times.

The officer survived his injuries.

"The officers did in fact knock & announce despite obtaining a 'no knock' exception on the warrant"

Various aspects of these claims are disputed.

"Evidence shows that officers both knocked and announced their presence" at Taylor's apartment, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said at a Sept. 23 press conference. An independent witness who was near the apartment corroborated the officers' statements about their announcement, Cameron said.

However, Taylor's family and neighbors say that police did not identify themselves, and Walker has maintained that while he heard banging on the door, he also thought someone was breaking into the apartment, the Louisville Courier Journal reported.

Taylor's family attorney gave the Louisville Courier Journal audio of Walker's 911 call after the shooting. "I don't know what is happening," Walker told the emergency operator. "Somebody kicked in the door and shot my girlfriend."

A judge approved the warrant as a "no-knock," and a timeline of the case posted on Louisville mayor's website called it a no-knock warrant. But Cameron said that superiors advised the officers to knock and announce their presence, and the warrant "was not served as a no-knock warrant."

There is no video or body camera footage of the officers' attempted execution of a search warrant - video footage starts when area patrol officers arrive, Cameron said. (At the time of Taylor's death in March, the undercover narcotics officers serving the warrant were not required to wear body cameras. That policy has since changed.)

The man who told the New York Times he heard the police announce themselves said they said "police" a single time.

In addition, Walker's attorney said that the witness initially denied hearing police announce themselves in two interviews. It was only on the third interview that he mentioned hearing an announcement.

"She WAS on the warrant as was her car & her apartment"

This is true. But again, Taylor herself was not the main target of the narcotics investigation.

Taylor's information was on the search warrant based on police's belief that her ex-boyfriend "used her home to receive mail, keep drugs or stash money earned from the sale of drugs," the Louisville Courier Journal reported.

Taylor had no criminal record, and police officers didn't find any drugs or illicit cash in her home.

It seems like a norm now, which is sad, like us black people have to get used to the fact that police brutality can ruin the black community, well it HAS ruined the black community. The girl was just sleeping peacefully when she was shot multiple times. It scares me, knowing that one day the police can come to my house and do the same with everyone else that I love.

I don't have a lot of the details, but from what I've seen, the people charged were only found guilty for the gunshots outside of her apartment? I definitely need more details, I haven't had the time to look deeper.

There was little retributive justice towards the police officers who killed Breonna and there's little justice with the system that allows creates conditions for this to happen: armed police, over policing, qualified immunity. - James

I figured nothing good would come from the verdict, but I was holding out hope that it would be different.

# data[].attributes.body
The fact the case dragged on this long, and still has not given real justice to Breonna and is using her name as a buzzword to try and get satisfaction from the masses hurts, I have so much dread of what will follow now that such a public case has failed to obtain some image of justice for her.

# data[].attributes.body
Sadden but not surprised. I'm also frustrated that this is able to happen.

# data[].attributes.body
I was deeply affected. I felt like they weren't going to bring charges against the officer considering history's past, but to see it happen in real time really took a mental and emotional toll on me. It was really hard to focus on anything positive.

# data[].attributes.body
Disappointed that justice was never truly served. The reasonable solution is to just pay the family so the shock factor "goes away" and the case disappears from the media. I'm glad that people all over the world pushed for support in her case and tried to seek justice. It always seems Black lives, especially those of women, are disposable in the eyes of the police. I ask myself when enough will be enough, despite feeling hopeless that it never will be.

# data[].attributes.body
My heart breaks for her and her family. It is not shocking the justice system failed her but it still hurts the same. Unrelated but with RBG's death I have felt overwhelmed with disappointment.
