Being a licensed gun owner, when the pair woke to the barging of the police officers who say they were on a drug raid, Walker, according to the police, fired at them to which they discharged at least 20 bullets, of which eight struck Taylor, killing her.
The kicker is that the Louisville police didn’t find any drugs and it’s emerged Taylor wasn’t even the person police were investigating as main suspect Jamarcus Glover and his accomplices were already in custody by the time the police raided Taylor’s home.
The no-knock warrant for Taylor’s home was illegal per a Supreme Court ruling which in part reads “In order to justify a “no-knock” entry, the police must have a reasonable suspicion that knocking and announcing their presence, under the particular circumstances, would be dangerous or futile, or that it would inhibit the effective investigation of the crime by, for example, allowing the destruction of evidence.”
Taylor had no criminal record, history of violence or resisting police and her only connection to the investigation is that Glover once received USPS packages at her house having used her address.
The campaign #BirthdayForBreonna asks participants to send birthday cards to Kentucky Atty. Gen. Daniel Cameron, the Louisville police, Mayor Greg Fischer and Gov. Andy Beshear in honor of Taylor’s birthday and demand the prosecution of the officers involved in her killing.
