City of Louisville agrees to 'substantial' settlement in Breonna Taylor shooting
- Thread starter Parthenios
- Start date
No matter how big or small the settlement is, anything less than extended prison time for the cops involved (and exoneration for her boyfriend) won't count as fair retribution to me.
The charges should've been filed months ago.

I'm also interested in the man that they tried to arrest for shooting back at the police. Is he still in trouble/jail?
That is not going to cut it, not nearly. Address the problem, don't fucking paper it over with taxpayer dollars soaked in blood
The tax payers of the local government. Nobody else would have the funds for a substantial financial settlement.
No, sadly. :/
I presume city tax money, so ultimately from their residents. Which is bullshit.
There is a double episode of the NYT daily that does a deep dive on what happened and why arrests even if they wanted to arent gonna happen.
At most the dude who recklessly shot into the apartment but didn't hit anyone will get some time.

The general sentiment is that KY AG Daniel Cameron is going to announce his recommendations this week, and odds are that he isn't going to recommend charges.
The police reforms are great but you're never going to get real change until police know they'll go to jail forever for this shit.

Exactly, you would think folks would be mad about all the money cities have to pay out for this stuff. But no it is the cost of doing busines
Should've been from the cops pension fund. Goddamn crooks and murderers.
Aren't taxpayers tired of shelling out millions of dollars to victims so that murderous cops can keep their jobs?
Everyone is always complaining about government waste, but strangely silent about that.

Arrest, charge, and convict the cops who murdered Breonna Taylor.
That's it. That's the bottom line. Everything else is window dressing.

Tax payers shilling out Millions for a corrupt police force? And the cops haven't been arrested!?
Some municipalities allocate a budget for police related lawsuits on a yearly basis.
Some intelligent politician should explain to the public that *not* pushing for police reform and not weakening police unions means that when cops screw up and kill people, the public is on the hook while they just ride off into the sunset with full pensions.
So after the murder of an innocent person, police get a de facto subsidy, not a requirement, to live in the place they're supposed to protect.
Attorney Sam Aguilar confirmed to CNN there is a settlement in the case.
"The city's response in this case has been delayed and it's been frustrating, but the fact that they've been willing to sit down and talk significant reform was a step in the right direction and hopefully a turning point," he said.

Politicians unfortunately view police unions as their allies. They wouldn't directly antagonize them like that without there being pressure from the public
Pretty much. The lesson learned? You can do it and get away with it. Wonder why it keeps happening.
I mean, fucking duh.

This is par on course; taxpayers foot the bill of this institutions failings since it's not hard proving their misdoings in civil court. It's always been big checks in cases like this, but that's not going to bring back someone's mother/father, etc.
Whoever had the idea to announce this as any sort of 'win' (We murdered your moms, but hey, college is covered!) they can burn in hell in addition to the cops

They are separate things. The family filed a civil suit. So the settlement is a positive outcome in that instance. The cops should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The settlement doesn't bar that from happening.
Problem is that Police will mass strike all over the country if the Democrats tried this in 2021. Me personally, IF I was congress, I would go for scorched earth and threaten that if the police perform a mass strike over the settlement issue, auto termination and look to replace Police with strict training guidelines.
Police unions will take this to the supreme court.
This is why Trump winning the presidency was a mistake. The conservatives will vote in favor of the Police and this will be a mistake.
