A witness told the grand jury they did announce themselves.

There's no evidence they made any false or misleading statements. Meanwhile the lawyer on the other side most certainly did.

My questions are who signed off on that warrant, was it that necessary? They knew where he was, why not wait until daylight and wait for him to come out or execute the warrant properly then? She died for no reason, and people are arguing it's somehow her fault for being mixed with her boyfriend, or his fault he shot first. I really don't think it's that cut and dry at all.

I think there is room for improvement too. But this isn't clear cut racism. Is my point.
