Even the neighbors said the cops knocked on the door and heard them announcing that they were cops.

Yes, the whole "they didn't knock", or "they knocked but didn't say they was da POLE-LEASE" or " they said poll-ease, but didn't knock" is all complete bullschit that the left has spun up to fit their narrative.


The police knocked, shouted yadda county sheriff dept etc, dickhead shot at them BEFORE they entered the residence, police returned fire. Taylor was shot. She was tied up with a known drug dealer (which she knew was a drug dealer) and was an unfortunate casualty of the war on drugs. Her family reaping in the financial benefits of that and stirring the current political/race war at the same time cuz the city had a schit lawyer.

That's the story. Nothing more nothing less

Well said Geno

This is not accurate...shots weren't fired until after the breach.


When officers were unable to get anyone to answer or open the door to Apartment 4, the decision was made to breach the door. After breaching the door, Sgt. Mattingly was the first and only officer to enter the residence. Sgt. Mattingly identified two individuals standing beside one another at the end of the hall — a male and a female. In his statement, he says that the male was holding a gun, arms extended in a shooting stance.Sgt. Mattingly saw the man's gun fire, heard a 'boom' and immediately knew he was shot as a result of feeling heat in his upper thigh.

This was straight out of the DA's report.

That report says exactly what I said before. Took a LOT OF READING. Apparently my sources were accurate.

No the AG said that a civilian witness heard the police announce themselves and knock. If the dead chick and her boyfriend were white methies in rural AL we would have hardly heard a peep about it.

Stated a civilian witness corroborated they announced and knocked prior to entry

Gotcha. I'm not reading all the way through that again - I'll take you guys word for it. Both of them should have put their hands up - that being the case and all. If they were the hard to wake type and didn't hear it, then..........really sucks to be them. Kenneth got her killed and didn't even get dinged.

I read somewhere that they had a no-knock warrant. I hate for the cops, they are in a lose lose situation.

My understanding is that had that on the warrant, but didn’t use it.

Especially the guys/gals who get added to the stick at the last second. They have no idea about anything.

Checkmate. I am going off a video officer Tatum shared a couple days ago. You are indeed correct. (Per DA report)

This is my understanding as well. The shift leader said we need to knock at this one. I have seen strong evidence of that. Whether or not they announced themselves as law enforcement may be a point of contention. I have seen a statement that said they did and that they had corroboration. I have not seen an official police statement that says such other than the summarized findings of the grand jury.

Supposedly none of them were wearing recording devices but stills and video show a camera hanging on the forward point of the shoulder of one of the guys that breached the door about 2 minutes afterward.

I heard the AG say it at the press conference today with my own two ears.

Link to stills and/or video?

"In fact, attorney Steve Romines, who represents Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, said, based on his knowledge of the case, James did not have the body camera turned on."

So, no footage of the actual encounter. The sooner we all have cameras running all the time - the better off we'll be. At least we'll know what happened to loved ones who went missing.

Fake news lol

Weren't the cops plain clothed?

The photo on the link is after the raid, not during. Maybe he dressed up for the fake mug shot?

Link also states Taylor was shot 5 times on autopsy but I'm seeing 6-8 everywhere else?

Can't believe schit these days. (Fake news) Not arguing or agreeing with anything on this to make myself clear.


I truly hate it for the officers (doing what their superiors instructed) regardless. I do agree she didn't deserve to die but prolly didn't need to associate herself with the wrong crowd. Hindsight is 20/20 tho.

Bottomline, this rioting schit needs to end. We will see a serious fallout from lack of law enforcement in the coming years. I mean who would want to risk their lives and possible jail time for doing their job for a bunch of unappreciative azzholes for chicken schit money?

Yep cops shot and chit is burning and NBC said it's "mostly peaceful" protesting going on 🤦‍♂️ smdh
