and fentanyl is produced in Michigan?
My point is the war on drugs is an exacerbating factor in police violence.
Brianna Taylor no not knock warrant, drugs.
ah!
excellent point. I stand corrected.
brianna taylor was a no knock warrant but they knocked
why
dunno why they did
probably wouldve gone a lot smoother if they didnt
It wasn't a no-knock warrant when they were there.
It had been downgraded.
from what i understand judge granted a no knock and they knocked anyway
any source on the warrant being downgraded?
Kentucky's AG.
yeah im just seeing a lot of things saying it was not executed as a no knock warrant
Do you really think that officers would just decide "Hey I'm going to knock instead for this no-knock warrant?" I mean, I'm using Occam's razor here.
Or do you think they were told to knock and announce?
i am going off of what is being reported and what the officers own statements are
not speculation
Jus saying.
`"The warrant for Taylor’s home was secured as a “no-knock” warrant, which allows police to enter a home without announcing themselves. Mattingly said in his recorded statement to investigators, however, that he and his team were told to knock on the door and announce themselves."` https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIri7Xq0cVQ
so
they were issued a no knock warrant
being told is not changing the warrant
I mean, if you want to get into that level of semantic argument.
im not the one being semantic lol
since you decided that my statement was wrong even though it wasnt
Yes, because they were told to knock. I didn't exactly say you were wrong, I was attempting to further clarify.
Because your statement left out context, hence why I followed it up. I didn't say your facts were wrong.
yes but your context was incorrect, or half correct, and then you said i was being semantic
when i was just providing context for your context
Not really?
the warrant being downgraded
That's a matter of perspective I suppose.
That is true.
we are talking about legal proceedings so semantics are important
😛
It was downgraded. If it weren't, they'd not have knocked and announced.
