The egregious murder by police of a black woman lying in her bed
Louisville police conducting a drug bust charged into Breonna Taylor's house and shot her 8 times. Her family says they were at the wrong address.
The shooting death of yet another black person has been thrust into the national spotlight.
This time it's the case of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician who was killed by the police in her home in Louisville, Kentucky, during a narcotics bust in the early hours of March 13.
The police said they returned fire after someone in the apartment shot at them, injuring an officer, The Associated Press reported.
Rob Eggert, a defense attorney for Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, said in a recent court filing that the police team — two officers and one sergeant — didn't knock or announce themselves when entering the apartment, the Louisville Courier Journal reported on Tuesday.

Family seeks answers in fatal police shooting of Louisville woman in her apartment.
According to the lawsuit, filed April 27, Louisville police executed a search warrant at Taylor’s home, looking for a man who did not live in Taylor’s apartment complex and had already been detained when officers came to Taylor’s apartment after midnight. Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was also in the apartment and, according to the lawsuit, shot at officers when they attempted to enter without announcing themselves. The lawsuit alleges that police fired more than 20 rounds of ammunition into the apartment.
Taylor’s death is the kind that could have drawn national headlines in the Black Lives Matter era, like the deaths of Sandra Bland and Atatiana Jefferson, but has gotten little attention amid news of the spread of the coronavirus. The pandemic headlines were partly to blame in drowning out news of Taylor’s death, but so, too, is gender bias, said attorney Ben Crump, who has risen to prominence in recent years as the lawyer for several high-profile cases involving black men killed by police and neighborhood vigilantes.
None of the officers involved have been charged in connection with the shooting. Walker, a licensed gun owner who was not injured in the incident, was arrested and faces charges of first-degree assault and attempted murder of a police officer.

They is a reckless disregard for the lives of Colored people in the law enforcement community, it appears like they just think it is an act of honor to kill a Colored person

Too late. The Africans were a mere after thought for you. This is no surprise, since the mere mention of the injustices faced by their descendants (in the USA) gets you hot under the collar.

....I am wondering when we will start to hear how she ran away from home at 13 years old for 3 weeks, how her boyfriend or roommate is friendly with a gang banger and whose best friend is a pimp, that she and her father don't get along very well, that her uncle was discharged from the army, etc, etc....
