Judge rules Breonna Taylor's boyfriend, not police, caused her death
Judge rules Breonna Taylor's boyfriend, not police, caused her death
The court dismissed major charges against the cops, but they're still going to trial.
Truly awful and the implications are actually scary. A no knock no announce raid in plain clothes, absolutely could've been home invaders. This is the most classic basic scenario of self defense and home defense. You have split seconds to react to a potentially deadly situation, but you better make sure that you spend those moments finding out if they're cops.
This judge just ruled that self defense in your own home is not a legitimate case of self defense, and to be honest that should terrify people
My takeaway from this is aim for the head instead of warning shots. Ridiculous ruling...
PS: Maybe to clarify, there are now cases ruling that if you manage to kill the cops that don't announce themselves, that is legal self defense. But if you fire a warning shot, they can legally kill you. So it is far better to kill the cops than to give them a chance to kill you, legally speaking... Absolute brain dead legal ruling...
Warning shots, regardless of the situation, have always been a no-no. If you have to pull and discharge a firearm it is ALWAYS intended to be a lethal shot.
There is precedent of self defense being lost because of warning shots if you had the time to shoot a shot YOU KNOW is going to miss, you had time to disarm the situation in another way, is the legal justification.
So yes, if you own a gun, and intend to use it in self defense, no warning shots, aim center of mass.
Okay, so, if someone fires a weapon in situations such as a no-knock raid, how many shots leading to lethality create a questionable defense?
That is: If I shoot once and hit, great! Twice? Three times? What if I double-tap? If I have the aim of some of these police officers, could I empty a full clip, reload, and empty another one?
Are their points involved? 10 points for a dismissal. 9 for a favorable jury. 8 for a good lawyer. 2 and your case is handled in Texas. 1 you shot at and missed a white guy.
We need more information!
That is so fucked up.
This is basic 2A. This is the essence of it. Handgun in the home in case someone breaks in.
Bunch of dudes break in, with guns, in the middle of the night, and gun owner, awakened from sleep, opens fire in self defense.
Boom, basic.
THEN they announce that they’re police and the narrative then changes. That’s not ok. That judge is a dick.
Those police killed a health care worker asleep in her bed through their own shitty behavior.
Shoot back. You're going to die in any case. This is how the cops have trained me to react.
Is it any wonder that blacks, LGBT folks, women and other minorities have been the largest gun purchasing demographic over the past few years? Or did y'all think guns are only for us middle-aged white guys?
Defend human rights by any means necessary. Fighting for a just society may mean fighting, and yes, the price might be your life. I got kids. Not going to see them grow up in Nazi America.
Wow, this just seems like legal racism. Someone used the right to defend themselves in their own home against unknown assailants , and it's their own fault their loved one dies. Really. Really? That was some mental Jiu Jitsu from the judge.. wow.. I already thought the justice system in the US of A was broken, but I was wrong. Its a terminally infected void of dark hatred, just trying to fuck over anyone as hard and as fast as they can, a minority incarceration machine :). Except for policemen and women ofc.
Wow, this just seems like legal racism
Because that's exactly what it is. You just know if it had been some rich white family the cops would be facing consequences. But it wasn't, so they're not. It's straight up racism. ACAB.
Truly what the fuck.
Also, according to the article, judge is a Reagan appointee.
Sounds like Reagan.
Sounds about white.
The legal system is once again rising to the Caucasian.
There's a word for it I can't remember. It's white there, reich on the tip of my tongue...
Horse shit.
That jackass needs to be removed from the bench
The system is rigged
THEY SHOT HER
No, he shot her... with his mind bullets.
That's telekinesis, Kyle.
That's telekinesis, Kyle.
Oh fuck all the way off.
Legalized gangs of thugs
Not just legalized, but trying to defend yourself against them--against their worst excesses--is illegal.
This is the essence of state.
The fuck he did....those jackboot tyrants did.
Sprinkle some crack
