On March 13, here in the great state of KY, police executed a no knock warrant in Louisville. They found no drugs, and neither occupant had a criminal history or drug conviction. What they did find was an armed and licensed homeowner who called the police before firing on the intruders. Breonna Taylor, an emt, was shot and killed in the ensuing gunfire. Walker managed to wound one of the officers, shot to the leg.
Walker was arrested and charged with assault and the attempted murder of a police officer.
Walker was released from jail two weeks later.
Quote:"Not only is [Walker] a threat to the men and women of law enforcement, but he also poses a significant danger to the community we protect!" River City FOP president Ryan Nichols wrote in a Facebook Post Friday. "Home incarceration was not designed for the most violent offenders!" "I call on the public to condemn the actions of Judge Olu Stevens."
Actually, the cops had a ‘knock and announce’ warrant. Whether they actually DID knock and announce is a matter of dispute.
None of which, of course, mitigates the astounding ineptitude of the police in this matter.
