    LOUISVILLE, Kentucky – Rapper and Houston native Trae tha Truth was among the dozens of people arrested during a protest outside the home of Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron.

    Trae tha Truth shared multiple videos and photos to his social media of people sitting on the home’s front lawn, chanting “no justing, no peace” and Breonna Taylor’s name.

    Protesters were charged with intimidating a participant in a legal process, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass, according to a Louisville Metro Police Department news release.

    The cops did their job they had a no knock warrant. Taylor's boyfriend had a right to defend himself, so did the cops. The problem is the warrnt

    Pretty much. Add in the judge who approved it and the higher ups at LPD who planned the raid. Both of those parties showed poor judgement.

    Given that trust in the criminal justice system is at a low, I don't imagine people are very confident in the results of the investigation into the cops behavior during the raid itself.

    That being said, I'm surprised that anyone was charged at all.

    No knock warranty where no drugs where found. DA tried to get the boyfriend to LIE. $12 million dollars says otherwise to justification.

    The problem is the cops who like no knock warrants and think they are Seal team six in Afghanistan rather than policing a civilian population.

    They used a battering ram. They had a no knock warrant and all we have is the word of corrupt cops saying they knocked.

    Why didn’t they have body cams especially on no knock warrants.

    Police say her EX-Boyfriend was having drugs shipped to her apartment. Problem is no drugs were found. The boyfriend who shot at police was NOT that EX- boyfriend...he was shooting at intruders. Charges were dropped against the current Boyfriend. They basically killed this woman because of BAD police intel.

    The city paid the family $12 million but the DA comes up with this bogus judgment.......right, he`s just following the law but the payment says otherwise. If the city thought what the cops did was all good, why pay that amount of money?

    What if the BF had killed the cop? Would he get off since he was defending himself or would he be dead?

    The literal documentation of the warrant:

    https://reason.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Breonna-Taylor-search-warrants.pdf
    Literally the last page of the warrant

    "15.) Affiant is requesting a No-Knock entry to the premises due to the nature of how these drug traffickers operate.
    These drug traffickers have a history of attempting to destroy evidence, have cameras on the location that compromise
    Detectives once an approach to the dwelling is made, and a have history of fleeing from law enforcement."

    According to the DA, they knocked several times (verified by an independent witness - don't know who that is) and when there wasn't an answer, they breached the door.

    I don't know if that's true, and certainly police have a reason to lie (keep their jobs, etc.), but I don't know that the DA, mayor, etc. would say there were witnesses just to protect a few officers.

    I do agree body cams should be on at all times, and there should be some research into the evidence on how they got that warrant. But they were at the right house, and to say the cops murdered her on purpose (with intent), seemed like a stretch, especially considering they were returning fire.

    Facts and reason have no meaning to these people.

    They have completely signed over their lives to a narrative and allegiance to a tribe.
