I believe he’s saying that the media has tried to gloss over her involvement with a criminal and with criminal activity to bolster their narrative. But that it wasn’t necessary because just being involved in those things doesn’t mean you deserve to die. It’s much like the portrayal of her being killed while asleep in her bed when she was actually shot while standing in the hallway. It really shouldn’t make a difference but a picture is being painted rather than the truth being told. The intent is to get a certain emotional response from people.
I wasnt trying to be cryptic. I am stating there is a lot of supporting evidence as to why there was a warrant to enter the home and look for drugs.
Being involved with drugs should not and is not a life sentence. However, the police were there for a reason and when they entered they were fired upon. Those two facts are not in dispute.

This right here. We are blaming the police for doing their jobs and following the law and state provided training. If we are going to really fix this then lawyers, judges and especially the politicians should be held accountable. Not just for the lives lost but also for the millions upon millions of dollars being handed out in police brutality lawsuits. Why should my tax climb higher because a an officer did what they were taught to do? And then my taxes go higher because of mob rage and destruction. Freaking sucks for everyone except those truly responsible. Bonus: we should hold journalists and news agencies and celebrities accountable for their roles as well.

The conversation about death being earned or not is a new one. Being involved in the drug trade doesn’t deserve to be murdered? Deserve has nothing to do with it. The world isn’t fair. In Texas, citizens are within their rights to shoot unknown property trespassers stealing property. Is a car worth murder? In Texas it is. Is an argument worth murder? In Oklahoma it is. A enraged mans wife ran out of their home crying to a neighbor. The husband pursued her into the neighbors home. Home owner didn’t know him and killed him. Completely legal. So the question of “Do they deserve to be murdered?” is the wrong question. The correct question is “Why is this person ignoring the law and forcing someone else to respond?” If our latest story was asked this question before it happened, our victim could’ve decided not to associate with people (drug dealer) who ignore the law and force others to respond. Most, if not every one of these police stories, start with someone ignoring the law.

I don’t think I agree with you that there’s “a lot of supporting evidence” that she was involved. From what I understand there’s essentially 2 big pieces of evidence and they’re both sketchy and easily explained. I think the threshold should be much higher, especially for a NKW which it actually does outline by law that the threshold should be higher.
Let’s keep in mind that the police were, in fact, wrong about what they hypothesized and I don’t think that’s because this is an outlier of 1% of times that cops were wrong about a warrant. The system is too lax giving the things out.

Well, I’d like a more responsibility from the cops who are asking the judges to sign these warrants on nickels and dimes (and much stricter punishments for cops that are found lying in their reports) but I agree the buck really stops with the judges who sign.

Seems a lot more than 2. And how are they easily explained?
*Police followed her and her drug dealer ex-boyfriend for months.
*She and her ex-boyfriend showed up at a drug den together and left with a package. They were spotted not be the officers tracking the ex-boyfriend, but by officers watching the noted drug house. This was exactly 30 days before the day she died
* The car they drove to the drug den was a white Impala register to Taylor. It was seen parked in front of the drug den “several times”
*She bailed her ex-boyfriend out of jail three different times. She visited him several times. She posted bond as rentals as Dec 2019 for him and his friend.
*Call records show they spoke on the phone several times this year.
He had packages mailed to her house.
* The ex-boyfriend called Taylor’s cell 27 different times from jail
* Car tracking device shows the drug dealer was at her house 6 times the month prior
* A recorded call quoted the exboyfriend drug dealer saying Taylor had $8k of his money. And that she “handled his money”
* Taylor herself was caught on a recorded call in January saying her ex-boyfriends friend was “at the trap”. (trap is slang for drug house)

It’s not about deserve for sure. It really is about risk.
I don’t know that I would call getting your name put on a warrant “negligible”.
This article shows how involved she was. Certainly enough to be a person of interest:

I haven't paid as much attention to this one but it's tough for me. I see it a little like the Waco thing, there might be good reason to go get someone but isn't there a better way to do it? They may have knocked but I suspect they didn't waste much time busting in. What would you do if someone busted in your house in the middle of the night?
