Feds Indict Officers In Breonna Taylor Death, Including Brett Hankison Found Not Guilty In State Trial
6th August 2022
This is horseshit.
Neo says:
The laws against double jeopardy give the defendants no protection, because of the distinction between state and federal charges. I would like to see SCOTUS take up the question of whether this sort of federal charge after state acquittal is actually double jeopardy or not. But until that happens, AGs such as Merrick Garland will be bringing charges like this against defendants who have been acquitted by a state, particularly if they are white and the death was of a black person. These charges are political, in my opinion, and the left must think they serve their cause.
…
As you read it, please also consider that these extremely serious charges are for a killing that occurred when officers had already been fired upon and one was very gravely wounded, and the police return of fire was through a closed door. They could not see what was behind it. It is interesting to apply that to the Uvalde situation and imagine what would have happened had the police fired blindly through those classroom doors (there was a small window, but smoke and darkness made it impossible to see inside) and been responsible for the death of a student or teacher behind those doors. That’s not a full explanation for what happened there that day on the part of police, but I assume it may have been operating at some level.
At any rate, I cannot imagine that anyone would ever want to be a police officer anymore.
Neither can I.

Yet another reason why all warrants should be served in the daylight as “Knock and Wait”. The BF clearly fired in self defense as any man would when a band of thugs kicks in his door in the middle of the night. It is well past time to put these out of control cops back on the leash where they belong.
