Well, for one thing it turns out Breonna Taylor wasn't even asleep.

Claim: Taylor was shot while she was asleep in bed

Various social media posts and media reports have said Louisville police gunned down Taylor as she was asleep in bed.

Commonwealth's Attorney Tom Wine played partial recordings of police interviews with Walker during a May 22, 2020, news conference in which Walker told police he and Taylor were watching a movie in bed — it was “watching them more than we were watching it,” he said — when they heard a loud bang at the door, scaring both of them.

Walker said he initially thought it might’ve been Taylor's former boyfriend, but there was no response when Taylor twice called out, “Who is it?”

Then, Walker, saying he was "scared to death," grabbed his legally owned handgun.

Like I said:

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.

~~“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.

Completely non-compliant with GDPR and potentially the CCPA too. I can’t wait for someone to class action their collective asses.

I mean, the m1 MacBook Air is a crazy good deal currently. It regularly sells for $749 from places like Costco and BestBuy. The iPhone SE and XR were also crazy cheap when they launched with long-term support for software updates.

Apple can be unreasonably expensive at times, but they also tend to release solid hardware at many different price points.
