The FBI killed a Utah man who issued numerous death threats. Far-right figures are now claiming the Biden administration is coming to kill conservatives.

“Breonna Taylor Was Asleep.” Yes, she was asleep the night/morning of the shooting. No, she was not asleep when she was shot.

She was gravely wronged, and what happened is entirely inexcusable. However, statements that confuse people on the facts of the situation do not help the cause.

Edit: It seems my memory was faulty, per Walker's statement, they were watching a movie in bed when police came to the door.

like he said:

getting your door kicked in by a gang of cops about to shoot you to death tends to wake a person up

Like I said:

where did I do this?

Well, for one thing it turns out Breonna Taylor wasn't even asleep.

I'm referring to the witness statements given by Walker.

what statements of his say that she wasn’t sleeping?

I don't know. How about the one where he said they were watching a movie?

people fall asleep watching movies all the time, especially late at night which this was.

I don’t see any statement claiming she wasn’t sleeping, as you claim.

Look, it's not like we have a recording of their bedroom at the time of the incident. Do you have a source for your claim that she was asleep?

I’m not responsible for your lack of evidence. now you even admit you don’t have evidence to back up your claims, and you accuse ME of bad faith?

lmao

Look, I think it is clear that there is no amount of evidence that will make you change your mind on this.

Walker clearly said they were watching a movie, which you choose to interpret as they were probably asleep. I choose to interpret it more literally as they were actually watching a movie.

The preponderance of evidence suggests they were watching a movie, and there is no evidence saying they were asleep, only that they "could" have been asleep.

[shit I don't mean]. However,

I didn't miss r/publicfreakout.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused as to what you are saying?

Simple. It's some of the worst behavior on reddit, on a garbage sub full of garbage people.

Basically someone who loves it when cops murder black people for them is like "It's totally an awful thing that this happened, but" and then launch into a defense of whatever racist piece of shit is the topic of discussion.

Too bad that shit can't stay on reddit where shit belongs.

What are you even talking about? Is that what you are assuming I am saying?

If so, what specifically did I say that led you to believe this?
