And he’s a black guy, which illustrates you can be assimilated by the system.The police dropped all charges against him despite the fact that he shot a cop. That has to be a first. So then how do you square that with their claim that they announced themselves before breaking down the door? If they had, then they would never drop the charges against him. So we know that although the warrant was changed from a no-knock to an announce warrant, they just busted down the door without announcing.
Can Kentucky elect a new Attorney General that will actually hold these killer cops responsible? The current one seems to have no appetite for doing his job.
The real issue here is when a shot is fired is every resident in a home being raided then expendable? This police team answers “yes”. The city knows it’s fucked up, hence dropped charges, money to the family yet they ludicrously indite one cop for bullets flying into a neighbors apartment, but no inditements for a hail of bullets flying into Taylor’s apartment killing her.The police dropped all charges against him despite the fact that he shot a cop.

The headline have been "black man files no charges" when instead it should be "black Trump supporter files no charges". Label him for what he is, ignorance and hatred knows no racial boundaries.And he’s a black guy, which illustrates you can be assimilated by the system.
Sgt Jason Vance said:Did you ever hear anyone identify them as police?
Witness said:No, nobody identify themself
This isn’t the only instance of the attorney general presenting a single narrative from conflicting evidence. As VICE News reported this week, the initial Kentucky State Police ballistics report could not conclude that the bullet that struck Sgt. Jon Mattingly in the leg came from the gun of Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker. The FBI later produced its own ballistics report, the findings of which have not been released. Yet at the press conference announcing charges, Attorney General Cameron stated as fact that Walker’s bullet hit Mattingly.
The summary of LMPD’s interactions with Sarpee also raises questions about the way in which those conversations were documented and presented as part of the department’s investigative file. At the end of the taped conversation on March 21, Sgt. Vance tells Sarpee they will call him the following day to conduct a formal interview, but no interaction is documented until April 1, when Sgt. Seelye writes in the file that she calls and texts him, but does not receive a response. Seelye later leaves a voicemail for Sarpee on May 14.
On May 15, Seeyle and Sarpee speak on the phone. During this conversation, Seeyle makes a reference to a previous conversation she says she had with Sarpee. But according to the investigative file reviewed by VICE News, there is no record of them speaking at any point prior to that phone conversation. Seelye proceeds to press Sarpee on two specific points: whether he knew they were police, and whether he heard the officers announce themselves.
During the May conversation, which spans almost 7 minutes, Sarpee shifts his account and says he heard police say “this is the cops,” corroborating the testimonies of the seven officers on scene.
“It’s been so long now,” Sarpee tells Seeyle on the call. “I recall some of it.”
Walker’s attorney, Steve Romines, who says he has reviewed the file and listened to Sarpee’s interviews, told VICE News he believes the shift makes Sarpee’s account unreliable.
“You cannot in good faith look at Sarpee’s interviews and try to rely on him to establish that police announced themselves,” Romines said. “He’s obviously confused over the course of his interviews.”
“It’s pretty clear to me that they’re [the police] trying to create the narrative that benefits them,” he added.
When reached by VICE News, Sarpee declined to comment, saying he needed to speak to his lawyer first. Sarpee’s lawyer could not be reached for comment.
