A system can't defend or protect; those it was designed to destroy.Why does it take so long for any semblance of justice for people of color?
Same thing happened for Ahmed Arbury.

They had more than enough probable cause evidence for the warrant issued for her and her place. That isn't in question.
Except for the fact that the detective involved, Kelly Goodlett, is pleading guilty to the charge of "submitting a false affidavit to search Taylor's home ahead of the police department's raid and working with other Louisville officers to create a 'false cover story in an attempt to escape responsibility for their roles in preparing the warrant affidavit that contained false information.'"
She knew that there had been no suspicious packages mailed to Breonna Taylor's home.

"For years, LMPD has practiced an aggressive style of policing that it deploys selectively, especially against Black people, but also against vulnerable people throughout the city," the report states. "LMPD cites people for minor offenses, like wide turns and broken taillights, while serious crimes like sexual assault and homicide go unsolved."
"Some officers demonstrate disrespect for the people they are sworn to protect," the report continues. "Some officers have videotaped themselves throwing drinks at pedestrians from their cars; insulted people with disabilities; and called Black people 'monkeys,' 'animal,' and 'boy.' This conduct erodes community trust, and the unlawful practices of LMPD and Louisville Metro undermine public safety."
Political bias was baked into LMPD, the report found. One July 2018 department document said the extremist Three Percenters group “believe law enforcement has been handcuffed by politics and want to help us do what they think is right,” and adopted the Three Percenters' description of themselves as “patriotic citizens who love their country, their freedoms, and their liberty.”
After Breonna Taylor death, feds find police discrimination

Good, but...what will be done about it to fix the problem? If it's so widespread/systemic in the city/county/area, then do you just fire everyone? That doesn't work of course, but something obviously needs to change.
Good shoot?Today: both officers charged with covering up the incident.
