The biggest issue with that case was not anything done by the police officers who actually fired their guns, but rather the people who obtained the warrant that put them there in the first place. And arguably the system that allowed the warrant to be executed.
I swear, that Breonna Taylor case is the most misunderstood, most misinformation-laden news item in the past five years.

Was going to post something similar.
This case is of a different kind from the others that have become so prominent in the BLM movement. It really shouldn't be the cause it's become, and the reaction to today's outcomes is the type of thing that causes centrists to divorce themselves from the cause BLM and others are fighting for.
