So, your close friend with an "in" is saying that something like five months after killing her and while seeing no end to the public backlash against them, the Louisville PD is trying a smear campaign against the deceased. The only part of this that is surprising is the part where it took them five months to decide to go that route.
I mean, from doing a bit of research, I've noticed that the "they did knock" part is a he said/she said sort of thing where they said they did, but no one from that area is exactly backing up that claim. And I read that Taylor had connections to one of the actual dealers they were going after and a car registered to her had been seen at their place...but nothing about her being a dealer and that a search of her place turned up nothing. So, it looks to me more like they're trying to cover up their fuck-up by putting as much of the blame on the person they killed as possible.
"She can't defend herself, but we can use that to defend ourselves!!! POINT TO US!!!!!"
How is the LPD running a smear campaign and where did I remotely hint at that?
Additionally, it's not too often (if ever?) that any of the investigating/investigated parties come out during an investigation (if one is taking place OR has taken place) to reveal evidence one way or the other. Is it? So, if the LPD knew she was a dealer, they aren't coming out in public stating that while there's investigations ongoing -- past or present.
The New York Times even stated there was a knock during the "no-knock warrant." They wouldn't be the ones siding with LPD, would they?
I'm not taking one side or the other -- except the side that I'd prefer people didn't die. But, after previous instances, the other thing I've come to understand is not to jump to conclusions when the whole story isn't known.
