Felony charges dismissed against ex-officers charged in Breonna Taylor raid
Felony charges dismissed against ex-officers charged in Breonna Taylor raid
Former police officers Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany were previously charged by federal prosecutors in Taylor's death.
You're viewing a single thread.
Judge Simpson said that "there is no direct link between the warrantless entry and Taylor's death."
What?! How does that make any sense? If the cops didn’t illegally enter her apartment without a warrant, Breonna would still be alive today. Cause meet effect. How is that not a direct link?
Exactly. The fuck.
Judge was appointed by Reagan
Ol' Rotten Ronnie fucking the world from beyond the grave.
Yet again.
Well . . .
I think the opinion (as bad as it is) is that if the warrant was good the judge thinks the exact same thing would have happened. So the fact that these assholes knowingly lied to get the warrant isn't a "direct link".
To me making that argument kind of signals that no-knock warrants shouldn't be a thing at all if you accept that an innocent would die either way because it's so fucked up....and on top of that the cops still clearly caused this by lying because this isn't a case of good warrant vs bad warrant - this is a case of bad warrant vs no warrant and Breonna still being alive.
