The only charges are against one officer for endangering the neighbors. Nothing to do with Taylor's death. Why is the city paying her family $12 million for wrongful death when a grand jury found no evidence they did anything wrong in her death? Honk honk?

The mayor of the city was being blackmailed, went in on a weekend and cut the check and didn’t get the approval of city council. Mayor is in deep shit now and will have his affair leaked along with the other bullshit
Well, that's interesting... I can't wait for the fallout...
yea but he was guilty as sin
I think he was innocent. His son is the likely murderer. OJ was covering.
I had not thought of that...
He had kids?
Yup, one who wrote about wanting to killing people. Hmm.
Edit: also OJs son almost killed one of his girlfriends with a knife, he attacked his boss with a knife and was on probation, he also had Jekyll and Hyde rage issues etc.
LEL.
You figure with all that money, just living a normal $50k a year life would make you fucking rich (by not having to work and just living modestly in invested returns).
I know I'd be immensely happy.
Law pilled, seems to check out.
For those of us watching back then, it was messed up. Still is.
True, but if a civil suit has merit it almost always follows the criminal trial, because the guilty verdict strengthens the civil suit. If they closed a deal before the criminal trial was finished, they knew they had nothing and were bluffing.
That is because civil suits do not have a "beyond reasonable doubt requirement". That is very different than a justified shooting. the reason the DA did not charge was not because he couldn't prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. It was because the evidence showed the shooting was justified
Really? Does that mean he already gave them a check without the city councils knowledge, or is that the money now in an escrow account? How would the city allow a check that size without two signatures???
It’s as if...as if...you’re correctly stereotyping these people.
When I was growing up we had a dozen or so excellent role models. Michael Jordan, Lavarr Burton. Several in PBS kids shows, black power ranger (lol), Will Smith. Plenty to choose from.
Whitey needs to prevent Democrats from undoing Whitey's work, is what whitey needs to do.
Remember Stop The Violence? And their first single Self Destruction
still fresh
the video even quote crime statistics
1 out of every 22 black males will be killed by a violent crime
84% of violent crimes on blacks was committed by black offenders
It's almost like my generation, or the generation before me, didn't coin the term... What's it called?
Jogger Wealthy.
Hell, the first African Kang was for a time the richest in the world back in the 1300's, and then promptly went broke stunting on hoes. It's almost a thousand years of evidence.
How was selling cars? Thinking about doing that soon to make ends meet. Any advice?
Put that coffee down.
Joesf23,..and whats more disgusting is that the gangbangin' asshole who shot the cop and caused all the bullshit, will help spend that money as well! Thats fked up!

This is all true. Probably 45 new record labels popped up too.
Purple drank sold out for miles around.
I’m not sure how they had their check and balances but yes he went behind city councils back
That is quite a career risk to take, anyone thought to check his bank account?
Those that try to appease are hung by those they tried to please.
"Appeasement is feeding a crocodile hoping that he eats you last." -Winston Churchill (paraphrased)
He can and should go to jail for that and the money would be recovered by police if this wasn't clown world
When you say something like that, you gotta give us something to follow up on. Otherwise you're just a RINO that promises to "get to the bottom of this" and "come up with a solution" while simultaneously doing nothing.
A massive wealth transfer to the lowest rungs of our society.
It is becoming common.
Ghetto lottery
Exactly. Used to be get drafted in the NBA or NFL. Now its do hood rat shit and get shot by a cop.
It is a lot easier to just not break that law and get a job.
Yup they should try working hard for a job not working to get shot by a cop
Get rich or die tryin
Get shot by a cop?
Wouldnt it be easier to have seven kids, raise them to do hood rat shit and cry crocodile tears if one of them gets shot?
And it will be gone as fast as they got it....
Yup gold chains Hennessy all the people who say they owe them all of a sudden
Taylor had $20K in cash the night she got shot.
How many unemployed folks you know have that laying around?
hardcore drug traffickers
You know all I can find on the story of the cash is that her ex-boyfriend claimed that she was holding as much as14,000. But the newspaper stories make a big point of saying no drugs or illegally held cash were inventoried.
How many of any employed people keep that much easily on hand? No one I know.
Makes me want to adopt joggers and cast them out like I'm fly fishing lmao
Based and dindu pilled
It's okay they have no idea how to spend and invest so it doesnt last long.
See almost every professional athlete
Money is fungible
They will blow it in 4-5 years anyways...
Lol. 3... max. Lots of long lost family and "all those that supported them" will come out for the handout
BLM will surely try to grab a few mil from family, or at least like 500k. Guarantee you those lesbians are licking their lips watching live-streams right now with goat blood on their heads chanting African voodoo hoodoo shit.
"Without us, you'd have nothing. Don't you want other families to have the same justice? All we're asking for is the opportunity to help other families of murdered daughters who dindu nuffin."
Anarcho-tyrannic/communistic redistribution
People don't really get Anarcho-tyranny, so I don't reference it here often.
But yeah.
I’ve been throwing the term in pretty frequently when appropriate. There’s a lot of it going on.
12 million would have bought a lot of resources that the city and police will need real soon.
Instead it's going to be pissed away by room temperature IQ morons to party and live large at the expense of the public.
Gotta love the left.
If they got it this week, it's probably already gone.
Trump didnt get billions from his family. What a retard
He actually thinks his dad had a fraction of what Trump has now
Trump turned daddy’s money into billions. Wake up troll.
TDS so strong you cant help but waste your own time here. 🥴
He's living rent free in your head though.
If the family cared so much about black lives, donate it back to the city to expressively be used for things like parks & rec programs and what not, you know the thing the say will solve all the issues.
Ill take...Things that will never ever fucking happen.....for 500 Alex
..but... we can pretend it is possible and meme it
Let's dustoff Midnight Basketball. An oldie but a goodie.
Trayvon Martin’s lawyer gets 30-40%... let that sink in.
Louisville is going to feel the effects of the riots for decades to come
I believe it was Kipling who said,
“Once you pay the Dane-geld, There’s no getting rid of the Dane.”
Louisville doesn’t wanna look mean, so instead they took millions in taxpayer cash for the (ostensible) ability to sit on the sidelines when shit gets real.
Always easy to give away other peoples money.
Simple: It's not their money. It's YOUR money.
Exactly.
It’s on an Olive Garden gift card, so there’s that...

Because they love the color red? They order non-seafood items? The biscuits?

Kickbacks.
Also, a bankrupt city is one that will stay Democrat forever.
If you want to be in power for as long as you want, and you are a Democrat, wreck the place. The intelligent will leave, the Democrat voters will stay.
This ^^ should be the top comment.
They work out a kickback scheme.
Buying them off so they don't use inflammatory rhetoric when the grand jury decision came out. Worth it come to think of it considering what heated language could cost the city.
The city will be rioting and burning tonight regardless of the family getting bribed with $12 million. What did they buy exactly? I doubt Lousiville will be the only city getting riots tonight or in the following days over this, too.
Couldn't prevent what was already planned. They bought off heightened emotions that could have caused more damage.
honestly it's just going to encourage more looting and rioting as they realize they are not facing consequences and may even become millionaires for their trouble. You don't reward bad behavior.
Do they get a refund now that it didn't seem to work...
Did they use incendiary language? Same damage as Minneapolis and Kenosha?
oh, maybe it did work. Couldn't they just threaten the family with the law, by saying be careful what you say, we have a lot of discretion over incitement to violence charges
With people cowering at pushing back at blacks these days, I don't think city would dare treat the family with anything but kid gloves.
I'd bet it came attached with some clause to not to go stirring up shit in the media to cause bigger riots.
They was probably weighing the gofundme lottery or 12 million right now
You might be right check this out https://www.woodtv.com/news/grand-rapids/family-breonna-taylor-mural-in-gr-not-vandalized/
Oh dam, thats pretty interesting, def seems to follow the thought.
Because the mayor is a fucking cuck piece of shit.
There’s that.
11 million will be donated to worthy causes. In other words, money laundering.
Yeah, I don't know how they got the basis for "wrongful death" seems it was rightful. But so goes the great disparity between criminal and civil court, with a lowered burden of proof. In this case, so low, that apparently there isn't a burden of proof threshold.
Except her death was "wrongful"/ accidental. Just because she's a dumbass with shitty taste in men and a potential drug dealer doesn't mean she should have been shot.
That said, it is a justified shooting, and her BF is mainly at fault.
So even though they were aiming for her boyfriend, missing him and hitting her was "correct"? Clearly they were justified to return fire, but hitting the unarmed drug dealer/human shield probably wasn't what they were aiming for.
You ever see fight club? The scene where ed norton explains to the lady on the plane about recalls basically that. How they came to the conclusion fighting this would cost more than 12mil is so far beyond me though. Cities set aside money for paying off cases too expensive to fight and throw money at bullshit complaints all the time. This is also the reason you'll see cops with dozens and dozens of complaints against them.
Defense attorneys tell criminals to make complaints even totally false ones so they can have a "better defense" in the future. Basically eventually they can say "see how many complaints the officer has against them" even if they are cleared by investigation or unfounded. I've literally been told by people Ive arrested they'd make false complaints against me because they know the city will pay out if they don't ask for too much. It also helps the media narrative see chauvin all but 3 complaints against him were totally unfounded if I remember correctly.
I watched some body cam footage and heard the cops covering their bases in case of some kind of excessive force complaint... meanwhile the criminal just drives away. Talk about handcuffing the police instead of the criminals
This is why the left has turned 180 on body cams. They thought 1 cops would hate them (we don't) 2 more cops would get fired and sued. Turns out that complaints dropped drastically sometimes up to 90%. They tried to spin it as cops acted differently because of the body cams but it was that people know they couldn't make false complaints anymore because the evidence was there to back the cop. Unfortunately we are now in the climate of even if the cop is 100% in the right we are still wrong get arrested fired and sued welcome to leftist america.
Funny side story back when we "couldn't afford" body cams I had a woman I was giving a ticket to (ripped through a red light with a kid not in a child seat which is why I was giving her tickets and not a warning) say to me I'll say you raped me she was 100% serious with not only my partner there but also my supervisor who luckily stopped by and was in ear shot. Body cams are the best thing to happen in law enforcement every cop should have one.
Not in law enforcement, but know a lot about our local PD, and 2nd all that. We were relatively early adopters, and there were some great stories on traffic cases where the citizen alleged all sorts of misbehavior by the cop. Get in court, and after spewing all these BS accusations, the solicitor pulls out the body cam vid for the judge, showing that the cop was completely professional. Judge was not impressed with the citizen lying to him, needless to say.
Early on in this current #BLM bullshit, we had a situation that the local rabble-rousers tried to blow up. Chief put out a professional statement with body cam vids and shut the BS down fast.
Thanks for what you do.
Thanks for the support also rabble rouser made me laugh.
It’s an old-school supremely accurate term grossly underused in our current times, especially by the media.
Breonna Taylor was not murdered and the cops should not be charged but it was still an accidental / wrongful death.
It was not wrongful. The police were shooting back after being fired upon during a lawful search.
Louisville paying modern day reparations. This will never spare them or quell the BS, it will only encourage others. NEVER BEND THE KNEE...What taxpayer wants to for this type of wrongful crap? NONE!
This is like paying guns Danegeld after they raped your daughter and burnt down your house.
This is Louisville residents taxpayer dollars. People need to either be voted out or war. That is too much money.
Yep. It also comes off as an admission of guilt. The only thing that went wrong besides the shitty surveilance that didn't confirm the drugs had been moved was the cop shooting into neighbors' homes.
They were looking for packages as well as money at Taylor's address
It sets one hell of a precedent, and I am looking forward to the cities becoming insolvent.
Also, why aren’t they charging the boyfriend who shot first at the police with murder? Doesn’t the felony murder rule apply in this state?
Because it not coming out of their pocket. Amazing how none of these politicians have learned that appeasement buys them nothing. Now I will tell the future. When the dope dealer boyfriend goes to trial he's going to lay everything on Taylor. He's gonna tell the world she was a murderous ho. Let the city explain the payoff then. This always reminds me of the martyr families getting paid.
Louisville taxpayers get to pick-up the bill. At some point, punishing law abiding citizens needs to stop.
The $12,000,000 settled the civil suit. Had the Taylor family filed a lawsuit against the city, it's plausible enough for them to win. Personally, I think these settlements are outrageous and Ben Crump is just lining his pockets with race baiting (see: The Trayvon Hoax) and damage the communitiesfurther. However, a jury could award any crazy number of punitive damages that would make $12,000,000 look like a steal. Too big of a risk
The main argument here is that a no knock warrant was issued, and they still knocked. Regardless of the conflicting statements about if they identified themselves, it gave her boyfriend time to get his weapon and see who was at the door. This allowed for the confrontation and then Taylor was shot.
So, in court, they will argue that the police/city was negligent, and that their failure to follow policy was the proximate cause of her death.
Liability laws in KY are called "pure contributory" in which your damages are reduced by your own negligence with no cut off. I.e. if you are 75% responsible for an accident where you are injured, you can still recover 25%.
In the context of the facts, I think she actually contributed 0% to her death. This statement is based purely on the fact that liability is based on the proximate cause of an accident, so you can't factor in all her prior issues.
Ultimately a bad situation all around, but it's one of those things where giving someone the courtesy of a knock when you're supposed to break down the door ends up poorly. Embodies the "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" idiom.
Tl;dr: criminal cases are beyond a reasonable doubt, civil cases are on the preponderance of evidence.
Because dindoo
I think it's called protection money.
Did I read that they have surveillance of her over months? Running drugs I believe.
WTF? Bizarro World!
You loot, we shoot!
payoff to keep people from burning the city
It's a CIVIL settlement.
Which they would have lost, had it went to court. But fuck the taxpayers money- drug runners lives matter, right?
A jury of joggers would give the family 675 gazillion dollars.
Then that lawyer has no idea how jury selection works
There’s no way you could find a jury pool that wasn’t tainted.
That will head off potential lawsuits. 12 mil is too much though
It's sickening. $12mil. Now that IS privilege. Imagine living in Louisville, knowing that is where the tax dollars are going. New law needed, No settlements until Grand Jury results are in. Or even better, Governmental immunity unless gross negligence is found on the part of the city. If the Officer acted outside the scope of his training, then the city is also not liable.
Do you remember what happened in Baltimore City 6yrs ago when Freddie Gray was killed? Same thing for the most part, they get paid & shut up and within a few weeks it was done like it never even happened.
As far as today though, these riots spread nationwide which these retards will keep acting a fool until they end up lighting their own house on fire.. and they’ll still blame POTUS.
The burden of proof in civil cases is much lower than in criminal. It lonely would have cost more to fight it.
This is something we need to start digging on. How much did saint Floyd’s family get
Leftist prosecutors working to defraud the government with huge payouts to people, that's how. Listen to Robert Barnes talk about it.
Then their premiums go up? Some cities aren't even offered coverage for that because it happens so often, so the cities self-insure. Which just means taxpayers eat it
Because bleeps kick and scream until they get what they want. Racial equality is no longer a thing.
it doesn't. They just don't give a fuxk about giving your money away to people who don't pay taxes. They hate you because they know they rob you every day
Civil disputes have a much lower burden of evidence then criminal trials
I think this is why we pay taxes
we pay taxes for streets, roads, schools, fire stations, police, parks, social security, medicare and medicaid, defense and homeland security, retiree benefits, scientific and medical research, and whatever other pork barrel money holes the various committees vote to throw money at.
We don't pay taxes to pay off families so that hopefully people won't riot.
It's a different budget and process.
Charging a policeman criminally - He's entitled to a fair trial. Policemen get competent lawyers.
Settling a frivolous wrongful death claim - It's whatever the politicians feel like doing. There's also avoiding the awkwardness of a drawn-out trial, which is further pressure to settle, even if the claim has no merit.
Because Louisville has had a cucked demonrat mayor forever. They ruin every city the run eventually.
Size of settlements in police deaths usually correlate heavily with media outage. Facts aren't really taken into consideration
bribery money to not burn down the city. Has that ever worked out?
Two Words:
VIRTUE SIGNALING
Or maybe 4 words: PLEASE DON'T HURT US
Cause they woke! Also retarded!
I've read that is why the families "just want an arrest", because if there are criminal charges filed, then that allows the family to sue civilly. And then they settle with the municipality or the homeowner's association, or whoever has the most money that doesn't want to fight it legally and get bad PR
