    getting your door kicked in by a gang of cops about to shoot you to death tends to wake a person up

    what misinformation?

      Here is the wiki on it. If your husband had a full conversation with his mother about noises coming from below and then calls 911 and then gets his gun, could you still be asleep at that point? She was, however, still in bed and the no knock shouldn’t have been allowed.

        could you still be asleep at that point?

        do you have proof she wasn’t?

          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.

            Claim: Taylor was shot while she was asleep in bed

            I never claimed this

            also, you link doesn’t prove this:

            If your husband had a full conversation with his mother about noises coming from below and then calls 911 and then gets his gun, could you still be asleep at that point?

            and it doesn’t prove she was awake at the time, ether. people doze off while watching movies.

              I provided a good source that directly refutes your claim, with a statement from the witness at the scene. You clearly don’t care about the truth, and just want to “win.”

                I didn’t see any statements supporting any of your claims or refuting mine

                    just because you can’t prove your claims, you start hurling personal insults?

                    that’s on you, not me

      “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.
