Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I get what you are trying to say, but she wasn’t sleeping at the time of the shooting. No need to rely on misinformation to here. The truth is damning enough for police.
Edit: In case y’all need proof.

getting your door kicked in by a gang of cops about to shoot you to death tends to wake a person up
what misinformation?
~~“Breonna Taylor Was Asleep.” Yes, she was asleep the night/morning of the shooting. No, she was not asleep when she was shot.~~
She was gravely wronged, and what happened is entirely inexcusable. However, statements that confuse people on the facts of the situation do not help the cause.
Edit: It seems my memory was faulty, per Walker's statement, they were watching a movie in bed when police came to the door.

Like I said:
where did I do this?
Well, for one thing it turns out Breonna Taylor wasn't even asleep.

I'm referring to the witness statements given by Walker.
what statements of his say that she wasn’t sleeping?
I don't know. How about the one where he said they were watching a movie?
people fall asleep watching movies all the time, especially late at night which this was.
I don’t see any statement claiming she wasn’t sleeping, as you claim.
Look, it's not like we have a recording of their bedroom at the time of the incident. Do you have a source for your claim that she was asleep?
I’m not responsible for your lack of evidence. now you even admit you don’t have evidence to back up your claims, and you accuse ME of bad faith?
lmao
Look, I think it is clear that there is no amount of evidence that will make you change your mind on this.
Walker clearly said they were watching a movie, which you choose to interpret as they were probably asleep. I choose to interpret it more literally as they were actually watching a movie.
The preponderance of evidence suggests they were watching a movie, and there is no evidence saying they were asleep, only that they "could" have been asleep.
if you had presented any evidence, it might have, but you didn't
This just in, witness testimony ≠ evidence.
as soon as you have any that says, “she wasn’t sleeping”, let me know
You know whoever types the last comment has clearly won right? /s
that sounds like a personal problem for you
Oh, I'm just having fun here. Sorry if this is upsetting to you. I do like having the last comment though I have to admit.
projecting your feelings onto me isn’t healthy
sound like another personal problem
Lol. I do have feelings, I'm not upset, I'm definitely not projecting, but I may be misidentifying your feelings.
Still, I am certain you want the last word in our conversation.
best of luck indeed
I wish you well in all your personal problems.
Ah, so just narcissism then. Got it 😅 😅
You stuck?
I'm personally curious to see how deep the replies can go on Lemmy. The app on my phone already crapped out.
Lol. I'm beginning to think you don't even know what the word projection means.
