    1. J T – The police knocked on the door to serve the warrant. Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend were not sleeping when the police were at the door. They were both in the hallway. The boyfriend shot first and through the door, alleging that the police did not identify themselves although the police say they did. Police returned fire on the boyfriend. It is possible that the boyfriend used Taylor as as human shield. She was also not innocent because she was part of the drug ring. Good crooked lawyers like Crump continue to make martyrs out of criminals. Any life lost is sad, but she chose to live a risky life.

    1. Exactly! None of this wouldn’t have taken place, if we all valued, respected, appreciated, accepted, liked, loved, gotten along with, cared about ourselves & each other unconditionally! Hate cannot drive out gate, only love can do that!

  1. This still won’t bring her back the officers should be fired and put in prison for life since they taken a life I am sorry for there family “ no amount of money will bring back a person” the cops know they did what was wrong and should be in prison and off the streets

  2. Dont care what kind of settlement is awarded but 12million taking the piss abit when the world is looking at a financial crisis 1mil 2mil maybe but 12million WTF!?😆

  3. How come no one is talking about the boyfriend action? He cause all this to happen! Yes the police shot n kill her but who cause the whole thing to happen? If the police officer get charge so should the boyfriend!

    1. If random people break down your door at night without announcing themselves, don’t you have the right to defend yourself? How was he supposed to know that they were police?

  5. Natural herbs have cured so many illness that drugs and injection can’t cure. I’ve seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people’s lives. i read people’s testimonies online on how they were cured of herpes, hiv, diabetics and others diseases by @Dr_job3, so i decided to contact the doctor because i know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with diseases for the past 6 years but @Dr_job3 cured me with his herbs and i referred my aunt and her husand to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes but to God be the glory, they were cured too .I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs. He is also a spell caster, he cast speall to restore broken marriages and he cast good luck spells to prosper and excel in life. Contact @Dr_job3 on email: (doctorjob81@gmail.com) for more communication. Thanks
