Serving no knock warrants at 1:00 am in states where they have castle defense laws in place, serving no knock warrants at residents where a law abiding registered gun holder is sleeping. These are all avoidable and should be policy and Taylor would be alive. We would never tolerate a teacher working one on one with a student after school, or a surgeon being on call for 72 hours but for some reason this is viewed as acceptable in police departments.

This is the problem and where the public (including myself) has been mislead. Neighbor has submitted under witness testimony that they heard the police announce themselves. Also the police did knock...Kenneth Walker admitted he heard knocking 30-45 seconds. Finally, people keep saying Taylor was killed in her sleep, this is not true, it’s been confirmed she was awake.
I had been under the impression, the police didn’t announce, knock and came in the door looking to execute the warrant. Also I’d heard many time Taylor was asleep. The media has again failed us, wanting to provide a false narrative to support a side. It’s as dangerous as bad police work.
I don’t have answers too why there is extremely shoddy police work or why they chose 12:53 am...it’s disturbing. I hope changes will be made.
