More on the Taylor shooting. Fact checking the lies.
The Facts
The Lie: The officers that raided Taylor’s home actually went to the wrong address.
The Truth: Taylor was the name on the warrant: Police had obtained warrants for multiple locations linked to her ex-boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover, an alleged crack cocaine dealer. One of those addresses was Taylor’s, which officers suspected was being used for receiving mail and “packages.”
There was no accident. The cops were supposed to be there that night because Taylor was mixed up with some shady characters from her past.
The Lie: Police entered Taylor’s apartment without knocking.
The Truth: While yes, the police DID obtain a no-knock warrant, they actually knocked before entering the apartment. Kenneth Walker himself confirmed this with his statement when he said the sound of knocking woke them up.
He also said he grabbed his gun because he didn’t know who was at the door late at night (which is something anybody would do in that situation). But that decision ended up being a major factor in why Breonna was killed.
Yet, the Left keeps pushing this narrative… why?
The Lie: Police shot Taylor while she was in her bed.
The Truth: She actually died in the hallway as she and Walker were headed to the door to see who was knocking on it.
Walker admitted both he and Taylor were walking down the hallway towards the door when the officers broke the door down. Walker said he feared for his life and thought the plainclothes officers who broke down the door were intruders unlawfully entering his girlfriend’s home.
Again, that’s not outside of the realm of possibility, and that speaks to errors on the side of the police as well.
Walker was NOT in the wrong here. He was trying to protect himself and his girlfriend.
However, the officers likewise weren’t in the wrong for firing back. They were serving a warrant in a criminal investigation and were more than likely on edge due to the nature of their job. When they saw an armed individual, they moved to defend themselves.
But Taylor was shot in the hallway as they approached the door, not sleeping in her bed.
The Lie: The police didn’t need to be there in the first place because the suspect (Glover) was already in custody.
The Truth: The reason for the raid at Taylor’s home wasn’t to capture a suspect; it was to collect evidence.
Louisville PD said they thought Taylor was home alone at the time and were unaware that Walker was with her. They were simply there to try and collect evidence of Taylor and Glover’s conspiracy.
