SHOW NOTES:

Details:

Taylor, 26, an emergency medical worker, was shot five times by the officers after they entered her home during a drug investigation on March 13.

Police had obtained warrants for multiple locations linked to Jamarcus Glover, an alleged crack cocaine dealer. One of them included Taylor\\u2019s apartment, where she lived with her younger sister. Law enforcement believed Glover was using Taylor\\u2019s apartment as his current address and had been receiving mail and packages there.

No drugs found

This is irrelevant

The judge who signed the warrant agreed there was sufficient evidence to search the residence. This is not no the police.

Glover was already in custody. The warrant was for evidence, not Glover.

Taylor and her boyfriend (Kenneth Walker) we in bed watching a movie.

Police knock and announce

\\u201cOur intent was to give her give plenty of time to come to the door because they said she was probably there alone,\\u201d said Mattingly, who was one of the three officers who discharged their weapons inside Taylor\\u2019s home.

\\u201cThe Louisville police officers involved in Breonna Taylor\\u2019s shooting death \\u2018knocked and announced\\u2019 themselves \\u2014 and did not execute a \\u2018no-knock warrant\\u2019 as previously believed, Kentucky\\u2019s attorney general said Wednesday,\\u201d per the New York Post. \\u201cAt a press conference, AG Daniel Cameron said a neighbor corroborated cops\\u2019 claims that they knocked on Taylor\\u2019s apartment door and announced themselves as police in the early hours of March 13.\\u201d

They walk down hallway toward door, gun in Walker\\u2019s hand.

Police breach

Walker shot Mattingly in the leg, severing his femoral artery.

Says he though they were intruders

Three cops returned fire, shooting more than 20 rounds into Taylor\\u2019s apartment.

Two officers involved in the shooting, Sgt. John Mattingly and Det. Myles Cosgrove, were not charged, despite FBI ballistics evidence showing that Cosgrove fired the bullet that ultimately killed Breonna Taylor. Cameron noted that, based on the evidence, Walker, not Cosgrove, fired first, setting off a tragic chain of events.

\\u201cOur investigation found that Mattingly and Cosgrove were justified in their use of force after having been fired on by Kenneth Walker,\\u201d

Hankinson fired for "blindly" firing 10 rounds into Taylor\'s apartment

On September 23, 2020, a state grand jury indicted Hankison on three counts of wanton endangerment

\\u201cA person is guilty of wanton endangerment in the first degree when, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, he wantonly engages in conduct which creates a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to another person,\\u201d the statute reads.

This relates to the people in the adjacent apartment

\\u201cA neighbor filed a lawsuit against the officers involved in the raid. The lawsuit claims, among other things, that a man was nearly shot, that law enforcement "spray[ed] gunfire into Chelsey Napper\'s apartment with a total disregard for the value of human life" and "A bullet that was shot from the defendant police officers\' gun flew inches past Cody Etherton\'s head while he was in the hallway of Chelsey Napper\'s apartment". The man is unidentified; Napper is understood to be a pregnant woman and Etherton is understood to be a child.

Shots:

5 through a window

At least 5 through sliding glass door

Shit ton of casings outside door and in parking lot

Jake Gardner: Omaha Bar owner

wreck-less driving and 3rd degree assault

CCW charge was dropped

James Scurlock: guy who attacked bar owner

arrested for robbery and use of a firearm to commit a felony during a HOME INVASION where a group of black males entered the location and threatened four residents with handguns.

Scurlock\'s charges were later amended to burglary, moving from a Class 2 to a Class 3 felony, and he was sentenced to 3-5 years in prison beginning Sept. 22nd, 2015. Scurlock served less than a year of his sentence, being released on Aug. 12th of 2016. Scurlock was also found guilty of assault and battery charges in January of 2019, for which he served one day in jail. Additionally, Scurlock plead guilty to third degree domestic assault this past February, serving a 90-day jail sentence.

DA\\u2019s Statement:

\\u201cI certainly understand the pain that has been brought about by the tragic loss of Ms. Taylor,\\u201d he said. \\u201cI understand that as a Black man \\u2014 how painful this is, which is why it was so incredibly important to make sure that we did everything we possibly could to uncover every fact.\\u201d

\\u201cOur reaction to the truth is the society we want to be,\\u201d Cameron continued. \\u201cDo we really want the truth? Or do we want a truth that fits our narrative? Do we want the facts? Are we content to blindly accept our own version of events? We, as a community, must make this decision.\\u201d

\\u201cThere will be celebrities, influencers, and activists who having never lived in Kentucky, will try to tell us how to feel, suggesting they understood the facts of this case and that they know our community and the commonwealth better than we do,\\u201d he concluded. \\u201cThey don\\u2019t.\\u201d

Do we want the truth? Or do we just want to feel justified in our childish emotional tantrums? The mainstream media keeps telling us, \\u201cit\\u2019s ok, you should be angry, the whole system is out to get you. Go ahead, smash some windows, throw a few bricks at the cops, (whisper) maybe even shoot a few. You have a right to be mad!!\\u201d BLM continues to provide false narratives absent actual facts or evidence or understanding of the law. White liberals feel guilty if they don\\u2019t go along so they do.

People are dying. Good people. Innocent people on behalf of the criminals many in our society has chosen to defend.

Tragedy happens. It doesn\\u2019t always have to be about race.

\\u201cThe truth shall set us free, and maybe that\\u2019s why so many people don\\u2019t want to find it. \\u201c
