I am just going to go through a scenario here that may at least smack of truth, whether true or not.
What if the cop hit on Breonna's house was a set up?
A judge had granted a warrant to search Ms Taylor's home because investigators suspected her ex-boyfriend, a convicted drug dealer, was using the address to receive packages. Ms Taylor had no criminal record.
One had been hit by a shot fired by Ms Taylor's boyfriend, who later told police he thought it was an ex-boyfriend of Ms Taylor who had broken into the apartment.
What if the ex boyfriend wanted the cops to hit his ex girlfriend's house?
The new boyfriend thought the ex boyfriend was breaking in.
What if that was exactly what the ex boyfriend wanted him to think, and knew he carried a gun?
How could he do it?
A million ways.
The search warrant itself is probably based mostly if not entirely on hearsay evidence. It might even be the word of a jail house snitch working off charges.
This, for me, would be the most interesting question in the whole matter, not the drumbeat of institutional racism which the NYT and wnyc wants to pound.
Maybe it turns out to be a little more like Kitty Genovese, NYT tells the wrong story wrong? What caused the cops to go and break into that house? Look for the smoking gun. Maybe there is none, but how would you know?
You would have to lurk around the Louisville drug underworld to get the answer. Maybe the ex boyfriend has a new squeeze who would talk for money!
