The media claimed Breonna Taylor was shot during a “no knock” warrant – False.
The media claimed Breonna Taylor was shot in her bed – False.
The media claimed Breonna Taylor was murdered – False.
Everything the media and lawyer Ben Crump claimed about the death of Breonna Taylor and the circumstances around her death was based on lies. The officials in Kentucky allowed a mountain of lies to grow until the evidence was finally presented to a grand jury and the Kentucky Attorney General was forced to admit the truth.
According to evidence revealed at a press conference by AG Daniel Cameron, the police executed a search warrant by knocking on the door. Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend Kenneth Walker refused to answer the door after the police identified themselves. The police broke down the door. Kenneth Walker was armed and shot first at police. The police returned fire and that’s how Breonna Taylor was shot and killed. WATCH:
The YouTube ID of Igp5Ov2aluM?start=92 is invalid..
No police officers were charged with the death of Breonna Taylor because they were responding to being fired upon. It appears Mr. Walker used his girlfriend as a shield. One officer, Brett Hankison, who did not shoot any person, was charged with “wonton endangerment” for haphazardly firing 10 shots that entered the adjacent apartment unit.
Breonna Taylor’s killing set off months of protests in Louisville and other cities and drew national attention. Celebrities and civil-rights activists demanding justice and urged Kentucky AG Cameron to bring charges against the officers involved.
Last week, the city of Louisville said it would pay $12 million to Ms. Taylor’s estate as part of a legal settlement with her family. The agreement also required the city to implement policy changes, including a mandate for police commanders to approve all search warrants. Today the shooting was ruled justified as the police were responding to being fired upon by Ms. Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker.
Officials in Kentucky allows months of false claims to be made surrounding the shooting without correcting the media reporting.
As with the Trayvon Martin case…. and as with the Michael Brown case….. and as with the Freddie Gray case…. everything pushed by the media about the Breonna Taylor case was based on lies. The media will now refuse to admit the truth and will now spin the narrative to claim they never reported incorrectly. Absolutely ridiculous.
“we jus’ want an arress’
i’m not sure if you know this, but this may be the most powerful article youve written. and you have produced more powerful articles than any journalist in america for years.
this accurately depicts how many times this played out race pimp scenario has been forced on us through lying media. theyre fomenting all
of this… who are their handlers?? ah the leftist politicians… im sure we can link money and all kinds of specifics but the best narrative is tell
joe public….all these riots and fake cases are on repeat and theyre all lies to cause riots and divisiveness. stupid liberals wouldnt even like this fact knowing theyve been played. brown, floyd, kenosha guy, baltimore guy. this is all organized. even liberals wont like this.
repeat this for the next 40days please…
In 1933, Adolf Hitler appointed Hermann Goering as Minister of the Interior. Goering’s first order was to defund the police so that they could not interfere with his Brown Shirts, whose mission it was to riot, burn, assault, and murder citizens to create domestic terror in an effort to suppress opposition to The Party.
BLM are nothing but modern day fascist Nazi’s
Hhhhmmmmm?
I think that claim has been debunked; the police were built up. But I’m no historian.
Ignorant comment.
Sundance, I really wish you would write an article as to what can realistically be done to deal with our Pravda media.
There simply HAS to be some accountability for what they have become! If they are not held responsible for their lies, distortions, fomenting hate and division, and outright attempts to control the elections in this country, then I see nothing but problems ahead!
Sundance, I want to add this: People used to be able to exert some degree of control over media by what they bought or watched. But these days, so many media outlets are “Vanity Projects” owned by Billionaire Globalists. They use them to control outcomes which benefit themselves, and just take tax deductions if they lose money! These people need to be prevented from owning media outlets, in my opinion, with perhaps also limiting the number of outlets owned by an entity!
The only way the media can be stopped is by Channel choice that should be provided by cable companies….. Even if you don’t turn on CNN or MSNBC and you have a cable package…they get paid from YOU the consumer… its not like the old days of an antenna and stations had to earn their money from advertisers…
that alone would put them in ruins
Unfortunately we live at a time when some media outlets are unfazed by the financial repercussions of their behavior, which diminishes any influence the public might have to influence the legitimacy of their reporting. They are solely propaganda “mouthpieces” for billionaires promoting an agenda without regard for the “truth”
I got rid of cable and satellite a year ago and would never go back. I don’t lack entertainment. I watch/read Treehouse/Breitbart/OAN, etc. I would never go back.
Mass critical response to the Federal Communications Commission to pull the Main Sewer Media’s use licenses of the American people’s bandwidth!
Could there be a class action suit against them?
We could get Antifa inflamed against major media, and let them burn down the news offices, similar to the attack on the CNN station in NY.
May as well utilize the useful idiots.
This is sarcasm (I think).
The only thing that will change their behavior is a lot more Nick Sandman’s. Some enterprising ambulance chaser should file a class action law suit on behalf of the thousands of business owners who’s livelihoods have been destroyed by rioters inspired by provable lies told by CNN, MSNBC, WAPO, NYT and the rest. I’ve heard that insurance companies are estimating $5 billion in damages so far this year. Even Jeff Bezos would choke a little writing that check.
Was watching a show last night on how the criminal justice authorities infiltrated and busted the leaders and members of motorcycle gangs in the 80’s/90’s. BLM and Antifa are far worse and the justice department does nothing to stop the leaders of these groups. They know where the money comes from, the proof is on the internet, they don’t even have to do the work. Arrest and charge them.
This — everything, since Obama was elected in 2008 — is riding on an elevation of Black Muslim dogma, of Black Separation and Black Superiority: In short, Black Supremacists, obviously in mimickry of, and vengeance for, “White Supremacy”. Has anyone commented yet in this thread about the Black pimp Seattle has hired to replace defunded police?
Actually, I don’t care so much if they are arrested and charged so long as they are “stopped”.
FTA:
“Everything the media and lawyer Ben Crump claimed about the death of Breonna Taylor and the circumstances around her death was based on lies”
Yes, they lied. I GET that.
What I DON’T get: In this case, AND SO MANY OTHERS JUST LIKE IT, the lies started to spread EARLY, but there was NOTHING SAID OR DONE by authorities to counter the BLM propaganda. WHY NOT?
Why do police, prosecutors, and other authorities ALLOW things to FESTER for SO LONG? Why wait for this cancer to metastatize before saying anything. WHY must every bit of evidence that could DEFUSE the unrest kept under lock and key using the tired old aegis of “Ongoing Investigation?”
Nothing will get better as long as the liars are allow to radicalize their Useful Idiots for MONTHS before anything is said or done.
you know why
It’s all about money and power.
No, it is all about Black Muslim thinking, nurtured by the Left for the last 60 years, and brought to political power by the Insane Left Democrat party inaugurated with Obama in 2008. the moneyed globalists are using that thinking, to cow the American people, with a false semblance of justice, or rather “eye for an eye” karma.
Black muslim thinking nurtered in our prisons for decades also.
I have some theories, but want to hear what others believe.
I guess they wanted to wait for a jury to back them up. That’s the only thing I can think of. Do you really think they would have believed them ? They won’t even believe a Grand Jury.
Do prosecutors and police withhold information to protect their “cases” from loss in the courtroom? Do they fear accusations of “jury tainting”?
Yes, there’s NO LEGITIMATE REASON why the nature of the warrant and conduct of police at the door could not be made by the mayor and investigators RIGHT AWAY.
I know that none of that information would prevent the radical BLM/Antifa types from rioting, but (if the mayor, prosecutor, and/or police went public) it MIGHT diminish the number of “Useful Idiots” they can incite into rioting.
It’s well known that antifa hides among the other people to manage their mischief.
If you recall that kind of information WAS released in the Ferguson case by authorities but it didn’t matter. Those funding the black lies movement and sympathetic politicians like the Governor and even the Feds wanted the unrest to continue.
I remember that people here at the Treehouse WORKED NONSTOP to uncover the truth, and remember how Obama’s CRD worked to surpress the truth. But, I honestly don’t recall how much local authorities released proactively, or what came out from other sources.
letjust…., in case you haven’t noticed, no one “goes public” unless they support the narrative. A few sites on the internet are the only counterbalance to this insane imbalance.
Why no, I hadn’t noticed.
One of the police involved had transcripts showing Taylor’s criminality and a defense of what the police did on a facebook page. So the truth was out there, it is the media that is aiding if not creating the hoax by airing the phony story when they know the real one.
They did the same thing during the Trayvon Martin case. Back then, I thought their constant regurgitation of the same erroneous talking points was due to the practice of relying on a local source that was picked up by national news services and relayed everywhere due to laziness. Now I realize that was wrong. This is a concerted effort to brainwash the public
Yep, same with Mike Brown and Freddy Grey (sp?). SOP
My question is: “Was Kenneth Walker legally allowed to fire at the police officers when they broke down the door and began entering the apartment, even though they had a warrant? This is confusing to me because Kentucky is a “Stand Your Ground” state, I believe, so as what point did it become a crime for Walker to shoot at the police? I am not a lawyer and this is a bit confusing to me.
I believe you are right about that
They knocked, identified themselves as police, waited for a response after several attempts. Meanwhile, the folks inside should have responded and requested a show of identification, or at least looked out the window and see them in uniform. Yes…open the door. Don’t hide then come out shooting when they enter.
Seems to me that all these ‘events’ have on thing in common…resisting arrest. As a result, BLM and ANTIFA want this to be an opinion without recourse, so much so, there are riots. My take, don’t resist…sheesh.
There’s so many typos in the above post, I’ll restate:
Seems to me that all these ‘events’ have one thing in common…resisting arrest. As a result, BLM and ANTIFA want this to be an option without recourse, so much so, there are riots. My take, don’t resist…sheesh.
And this common denominator element in almost every one of them: Illicit Drugs!
I think the issue was if the officers knocked and announced themselves before breaching the door and entering the apartment. There was a witness (neighbor) who testified that the police had done so, which meant that stand your ground did not apply to the occupants.
I think the fact that they had a warrant for his arrest could make it a tad illegal to shoot at them. They were given the right by the state to enter and apprehend the fugitive. I don’t believe stand your ground applies in this type of situation. I don’t know either….just throwing theories out there.
No-knock searches vs. ‘stand your ground’ laws: A deadly duo in Breonna Taylor shooting
https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2020/05/15/breonna-taylor-shooting-no-knock-searches-stand-your-ground-laws-deadly-combination-civilians-police/5193854002/
Thanks for sharing. But, the vital difference is that this was not a “no-knock” search warrant. The officers knocked and announced themselves….Miss Taylor and her boyfriend refused to answer the door or something similar.
I agree. Just found this article and thought it might help.
Now I hear that the police knocked…even though it was a no knock warrant.
Perhaps a technicality, but it -was- a no-knock warrant, but it -wasn’t- executed as one. I think this is confusing a lot of people (perhaps on purpose).
I don’t know Kentucky law, but I would assume “stand your ground” does not apply to the lawful serving of a warrant by police.
I don’t know Kentucky law, but I would assume “stand your ground” does not apply to the lawful serving of a warrant by police.
I don’t know Kentucky law, but I would assume “stand your ground” does not apply to the lawful serving of a warrant by police.
Even though it was a no-knock warrant, the police repeatedly knocked and identified themselves; so loudly a neighbour heard the commotion and came out to complain.
Link to the facts and underlying investigation that led to police being at Saint Breonna’s door.

I suspect that we’ll never get a solid answer on that. Mostly because we will never know whether Walker believed the intruders were cops or just drug dealers claiming to be cops. For his defense to any charges, he will obviously claim the latter. But it is conceivable that he thought they were cops and shot at them anyway. I have heard of cases were the courts found that an otherwise innocent man could return fire against the cops in self defense. The DeRossett case in Florida is one. There are likely others.
My question is, did he have a permit?
If he didn’t have a permit, then your question is not applicable
to a drug dealer criminal firing at police.
Since the police did NOT conduct a no-knock raid, but knocked and announced themselves as police, with a warrant! The neighbor/s clearly heard them knock and identify themselves before they broke down the door! Why Taylor and Walker did or did not hear something that woke the neighbors is open to speculation, but police properly serving a search warrant should not be!
Anyone who is concerned about Breonna should read the jail phone transcripts from the investigation that point to her still laundering and hiding money for her ex’s drug gang, which is why her apartment was the target of the warrant! Walker is in trouble with the drug dealers because HE got her killed with location of some of the cash locked in her head!

I don’t think Stand Your Ground laws allow people to shoot at police officers who announce and identify themselves.
I’m a very stable mature individual who has had limited interaction with drugged individuals. If someone knocks on my door at 12 am, they should be prepared to meet their maker because I’m not about to assume anything about the intent or the mental state of the person on the other side of the door. Are you George Floyd?
I don’t know Kentucky law, but I would assume “stand your ground” does not apply to the lawful serving of a warrant by police.
“Brett Hankison, who did not shoot any person, was charged with “wonton endangerment” for haphazardly firing 10 shots that entered the adjacent apartment unit.”
SUPRESSING FIRE!! BAM,BAM.BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM CLICK
Of the $12 million dollars, Ben Crump will get between $4 and $5 million. Not bad for stirring up racial tensions in a town the size of Louisville.
“Not bad for stirring up racial tensions in a town the size of Louisville.”
LOL
And now he is pissed because none of the LEO’s were charged with any involvement in causing her death, effectively making it difficult to impossible for an addition “Monet Grab” suit against the City, & / or the Police Dept. He is so beside himself with rage that he can barely even speak Ebonics when on TV……
I believe he cut a deal with the family to take a “small” portion of the initial settlement & consume the “Lion’s Share” of wrongful death suit against the Police Dept when an “Arrest” gets completed. ( remember all he ever wants in any of these cases is an ARREST associated with the death) The AG & the GJ quashed his dream of a very healthy payday for this “Race Baiting POS “.
Let’s see how long it takes him before this family is abandoned (Like he did to the Blake Family), moves on to “$$$Greener$$$” grounds….Foe such a big guy he moves like a Ninja….LOL
What I haven’t heard is where was Ms. Taylor standing in relation to Kenneth Walker? Walker shot at the cops and hit one in the thigh. Cops returned fire. She was hit 6 times, but I haven’t seen where he was hit at all. Did Walker use her as a human shield? Was she standing right in front of him? If she was standing off to the side, no way she would have been hit 6 times.
When he shot at the cops and they returned
fire, she was standing in close proximity because she
was hit 6 times.
The AG made slight mention of her position yesterday during the Press conference, saying he could not comment further on that issue at this time, but did not elaborate on where she might have been in relation to her boyfriend.
My own guy feeling based on what I have heard is as follows….
1 – The boyfriend acknowledges that he heard the “knocking”. I saw him state that on TV. He also said that “they (the Police) did not respond to his request of who was at the door” ..paraphrasing
2 – IMHO it was probably more like severe banging with the announcement that it was the Police. At least 1 neighbor confirms there was a commotion & the Police did announce their presence. Even the boyfriend inadvertently confirms (by his statement of hearing the knocking) that the Police did indeed by either vocal or noise action, there presence.
3 – The boyfriend ( has a criminal record & is fully aware of Police procedure), knows that the Police will very shortly breach the door.
4 – The boyfriend “sends” Breonna to the door to open it while readying his weapon, probably peeking out of the doorway of an adjacent room with the weapon trained on the door.
5 – Breonna never makes it to the door as the Police breach it & the boyfriend lets go with his initial shot. It was a shot to the thigh of one of the PO’s which would make sense if Breonna was blocking the perspective of the boyfriend line of sight. After the initial shot & subsequent return fire the boyfriend immediately ducks into another room which probably causes the volley of shots from the Officer that was charged with endangerment. If the boyfriend did relocate to a specific room & that specific room WAS the room riddled with surpressing fire, then this Officer’s reaction was also justified & NOT simply random indiscrete firing. The trial will reveal all the evidence necessary.
7 – Return fire comes immediately as, IMHO, the Officers no doubt already had their firearms out & at the ready. There would NOT have been sufficient time to analyze where & from whom the initial shot came from IF Breonna was the only one visible & the only one standing near the doorway. That, IMOHO, is one of the few ways she & she alone received all, if not most of the return fire…
Of course, a lot of the above is speculation based on the evidence that has been released to date but I believe I am not too far off the mark.
Only bringing this up because I have yet to find anyone else comment on it…but “wonton” endangerment should probably be changed to “wAnton.” Unless the neighbors were eating Chinese food. 😉
That makes it even more raaaaycist, since they put the Chinese appetizers in danger, too! Thank God it wasn’t pizza or tacos as well!
Well, it would be a shame to waste a perfectly good wonton!
The truth leaked out early on about Breonna Taylor….I heard she aided in getting drugs into a jail, that she was no longer an EMT and hadn’t been for years, that she was involved with a drug dealer, that the warrant had her name on it—-but the truth was obscured by the constant repeating of the BIG LIE. Like Nazi Germany under Hitler, the media aided him too! It’s really sedition. Arrest the journalists that just repeat the lies.
Yes the known lies are repeated knowingly by all the media outlets. This has been going on way before President Trump labeled the fake news. Fake news is too kind for a name, it is willful, orchestrated propaganda. More dangerous than fake,
AND to top it all off her family, which may well have benefited from her criminal activity, got 12 million from the City.
That doesn’t bother me….she didn’t deserve to die, but the fact that her attorney is still talking S#$t does, he probably collects half of that.
What happened here was a tragedy but there are good reasons why many people have lost respect for the police and LEOs. I live in a lily white county in NY and the local sheriff and his deputies are no bargain. The sheriff’s department has been weaponized beyond belief including military grade weapons and equipment. Years ago I was arrested and dragged out of the water for not wearing a personal flotation device. Seriously.

Funny; every time I go to the grocery store and purchased
a bag of apples or oranges, their is a likely hood of my
getting one that is rotten.
She should have thrown Molotov cocktails and bricks. No arrest then. Frightening, there is no hesitation to attack law abiding citizens, lock up business owner but arsonists, terrorists and worse, good to go, clear a path.
Puzzled- you are so right. It doesn’t help that our elected sheriff is a Dem while the county is still mostly Repub at least for now. (it’s turning Purple fast because of all the NYC Commies moving here to escape those wonderful BLM types.)
Live in Florida, and the frightened fleeing people don’t even understand what caused them to flee. They post Biden signs before the for sale sign comes out. Ugh.
it is not so much that the media lies; it is that a whole bunch of hate-filled people want them to lie and already believe the bad stuff, long before it is disproven.
found this on the net:
https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/63943132/breonna-taylor-summary-redacted1
The above attached is a comprehensive report on recorded phone calls from jail. Breonna was not a saint and very involved in drug sales with her associates.
If Kenneth Walker had Breonna’s brain matter on him, he had to be behind or next to her.
Read the transcript, it will give you insight into what law enforcement is faced with and also these people are not kindergarten teachers.
Yes! True patriots sacrifice their career and salary to
not only tell the truth but live the truth.
A great example of this is President Donald J Trump!
This human shield thing is the only logical conclusion but since the left doesn’t deal in logical conclusions, they are going to believe that while the police were being shot at by this man, they decided to shoot the woman who was not in front of the man.
The AG avoided answering that question directly and I don’t think he should have. He should have shown more courage. She died because he used her body to protect his life. Would that stop rioting and the like? No. But it would further show how the rioting is not connected to reality and that it is actually for other reasons.
BLM is losing black support. The more black people get in front of news cameras and say so, the better.
Not that it matters, but I don’t think that is the only logical conclusion. She could have been behind him and he ducked. Really doesn’t matter to me because she was a criminal hanging out with another criminal who fired on the police. Bad things can happen when you are close to someone who ambushes the police with a gun.
Rush gave a shout out to this site today.
Rush is now singing the praises of TCH on the show right now, says he does the best investigative reporting and analysis around. Always so good to here.
Rush has been giving credit to TCT for several years.
Yup. It was Rush’s discussion of Sundance’s Open Letter to Jonah Goldberg that brought me to CTH.
Rush Limbaugh read this CTH article on-air today. Hoorah!
Hopefully Rush is one of Sundance’s allies referenced.
Rush Limbaugh just read this article on his radio show!! 😀
It should be noted so that its nationally publicized, that this false information as told by the media has resulted in at least 3 innocent people murdered by BLM agitators who were reacting to the media’s blood soaked lies. The media agitated that 2 more innocent policeman were shot and potentially killed by the media’s disinformation. Because of the media’s lies, the media and the media people who sold these lies, people have been beaten, assaulted, and harassed.
There is not media responsible enough to tell these truths and facts of the left and culture and the destruction caused by media lies. It needs to be told though.
The media and its personalities are the cause of division and racial strife and the violence.
Why are they free to hurt us like this? Because there are rewards of money, fame, and social power.
A just society would make them pay for it, with effective deterrence punishing lies and division they sell.
Yeah, M$M/Dims/Crump, Say Her Name now: “Heroine Dealer!”
“Criminal Accomplice”
I would like to know what media had this information and sat on it and allowed this false narrative to evolve. Maybe Tom Fitton should send a FOIA to see what media had these documents.
Leo rocks! Love that guy and his passion.
AND Dan Bongino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for giving us the truth in this.
I only know what I am given, and nowhere else were these facts presented.
People decry the fake news then tune into Fox in the evening. ?
“Last week, the city of Louisville said it would pay $12 million to Ms. Taylor’s estate as part of a legal settlement with her family.” As long as you keep paying for not doing wrong, this garbage will continue. Oh, and that sleazebag Crump will keep appearing.
This is an excellent example of a “journalist” in today’s fake news world….don’t you dare go against the narrative we “journalists” have for you African Americans. Unbelievable.
A few months back on another conservative site, I was able to read pretty much what was revealed today about the shooting. it seemed like the article quoted not only the police but the boyfriend with the gun too. The cops said they had a no knock warrant but chose to knock first……….they waited 2 minutes then broke down the door. The boyfriend, who had a legally owned firearm,stated that he thought they were being broken into and he fired a warning shot, The article said that an officer was hit in the thigh. Well, when a cop goes down, lead flies.She wasn’t a target because she was black, She could have been Chinese, Indian or a Martian and she still would have been hit w/ fire.
Here is a video I came across today…really good:
