I had been under the impression, the police didn’t announce, knock and came in the door looking to execute the warrant. Also I’d heard many time Taylor was asleep. The media has again failed us, wanting to provide a false narrative to support a side. It’s as dangerous as bad police work.
I don’t have answers too why there is extremely shoddy police work or why they chose 12:53 am...it’s disturbing. I hope changes will be made.

Body cameras not being on during a no-knock search warrant is inexcusable. That is a huge red flag.
No knock warrant reform is something I think most americans can agree on. I wouldnt make a total ban on them bc there are some bad armed people out there but I would require surveillance to confirm the target is actually at the location before a no-knock warrant can be executed. Judges need to stop signing off on search warrants like its candy.
I actually spent a year reviewing search warrant applications in Montgomery County and they all got signed off on.
In Breona's case, their target had moved out months prior .. all the police had to do was a little bit of surveillance to confirm.
No knock warrants can effect anyone. I had a case where the swat team executed a no knock warrant on like 6701 Street when it was supposed to be 6710 Street. Grandmother shot, she lived. I switched firms before the case was resolved but i imagine qualified immunity as the police were acting under "good faith" but made an accident
