She was a wonderful person, out there saving people's lives in Nashville. Look at her face: brave, kind, intelligent. We have lost a very special person. Someday, when these cops are facing death (in themselves or a loved one), perhaps it will occur to them that this might not be happening if Nurse or Doctor Breonna Taylor were alive to help.

Instead of compassionately and honestly telling her the truth — that they just shot and killed her daughter — they left her with no answers for an hour, asking her if her daughter had enemies and if Breonna and her boyfriend were having any issues in their relationship.
And they f’ing arrested the boyfriend.

Unbelievable. Intruders break in, it is self defense, right?
It is second amendment to have a gun to protect yourself in your own bed from intruders?
God damn Louisville cops.
Over twenty bullets. Sick sick America.
