Breonna Taylor would still be alive if she had followed the advice of that first sentence. Unfortunately, she not only knowingly associated with, but was closely connected to multiple people responsible for a sizable drug ring. Did she deserve to die? No, of course not. Would she still be alive if she didn’t hang out with criminals? 100%.
Do you feel the officer who shot her was in the wrong?

This is deflection. Nothing you said justified her murder.
Nowhere in this thread have I attempted to justify her murder. What I have stated is that at some point personal responsibility needs to be addressed, because those decisions are what ultimately lead to interactions with police.
You may continue to twist my words if you wish.
Breonna Taylor would still be alive if she hadn’t been involved with criminals.
George Floyd would still be alive if he hadn’t resisted police and refused to be placed in the back of the cop car.
Michael Brown would still be alive if he hadn’t fought with a cop.
Jacob Blake wouldn’t have been shot if he had peacefully complied. Or, you know, not raped a girl in the first place.
It all begins with a poor decision, in every instance. Make better choices.

Personal opinion? Yes. I think it was a pretty unfortunate situation all around. Cops serve a warrant, get shot at, and seemingly without discretion begin spraying bullets. That’s no bueno. But it also pretty clearly didn’t involve race.

We just gonna let everyone under arrest go back to their car, get in it, and get whatever they want out of it?

He doesn’t know what due process is.
Jacob Blake was approached peaceably, asked questions, and given verbal commands. They attempted to cuff him, and he refused. They attempted to subdue him and he pulled away. They tased him, and he continued walking. They tased him again and he continued to the drivers door of his vehicle, all the while refusing verbal commands. He retrieves a knife and is subsequently neutralized.
That is the very textbook definition of due process.

- Let him do whatever he wants
or
- Shoot him seven times
No other choices, right?

You tell me what they should have done.
They had tried other methods.
The cops didn't know what he had in that car, or what he might come out of with that car.
Letting criminals go just because they don't wanna be arrested kinda hinders police work. And letting them go into a car after they've already refused compliance can be deadly for the police and others around them.

This is deflection.
- In one post, it’s because of a heinous crime.

The truth is that he feels acknowledging a problem is a threat to Trump. He would rather blame everyone else than admit that something needs to be fixed. Same thing that happened with Covid. Rather than making a few sacrifices - people blamed China and downplayed the actual problem. Why? Because in their minds saying “Yeah, this is bad” is an indictment on Trump. Even if it isn’t!
Can’t imagine how easily manipulated you have to be to place politics over compassion for human life. Really sad.

Supporting a convicted rapist of a minor shows so much compassion.

Floyd would be alive if he didn't od on drugs. Cops didn't kill him.

She wasn’t murdered. She was killed tragically because her boyfriend fired on the cops, hit one, and fire was returned. Unfortunately she was killed as a result. But it wasn’t murder. Not even close to that standard.

The team marching requires everyone to do it or risk being called out as a racist. Even if you don’t support the cause, you have to march. That’s what’s wrong with it. Can you imagine if the 3 white guys on that team don’t march?

And I can point out how disingenuous and stupid it is if they choose to invoke the name of a rapist in their protest.
The legality of a protest isn't in question. It's pretty dumb of you to act like it is.
I realize that the vast majority of the players would never come close to getting an academic scholarship, but one would think that each team would have, at least a handful of players that possess enough intellect, logic, and reason to call this "protest" out as non-productive.
Surely, there are some that see thru the MSM sensationalism and are aware that as far as injustices go, the most recent cases are very poor examples of racism and police over reach, right?

You're scum. That is 100% fact. You don't have to like it.
Did she deserve to die? Nope, but would you be surprised if a non-drinker, who liked to ride around as a passenger in a car of drunks, was killed in a traffic accident?
My point is, if you associate yourself with criminals, you are very likely to have bad things happen to you. Her BF shot at the cops who were serving a warrant on him. She was very aware of his criminal activities.

Amen! His interaction with the police was instigated by his GF calling them because of MORE criminal behavior!

Democrats, you have William Taylor on your side. Should tell you something. Wrong side.

I don't think many of us, including his LSU/MooState family is surprised by these developments.
Disappointing but not surprising news.

So let's unpack that.
What makes holding police accountable a partisan issue?
