The boot lickers really like to correct two points:

Breonna Taylor was not sleep when she was shot: true, she was awoken by the battering ram used to crash her door in at 1am.

Police didn't shoot first: also true. Kenneth shot an officer in the leg when they entered and, naturally, because they're all scared incompetent knobs, they responded in a hail of bullets, eight of which entered Breonna.

The cops claim to have knocked and announced themselves. This is a lie. No neighbors heard them announce themselves. Furthermore, they obtained a no-knock warrant specifically for the sole purpose of carrying out a drug raid by catching a drug dealer off guard and forcibly entering without warning (such as a knock and announcement). They wanted that specific warrant so much they misrepresented evidence to a judge to get it. So they did all that and got a warrant saying they did not have to knock or announce themselves and then just went on ahead and did it anyway? Cause they're just so polite?

They were also in civilian clothing and either not wearing body cams or had them turned off. So I'm not even sure how their word was just taken on all that.

They have indicted ONE cop for something that had nothing to do with her murder, it was for endangering the lives of OTHER residents by opening fire inside of an apartment complex.

  • A reminder that the person they were looking for, Breonna's ex-boyfriend, was already in custody at the time they murdered her.
  • A reminder that the mail investigator or whoever they claimed to get a tip from to get the warrant said they lied.
  • A reminder that the cops submitted an almost blank report with blatant lies, including that Breonna was not injured.
  • A reminder the prosecution tried to get Breonna's ex-boyfriend to implicate her in his crimes in April, after they had killed her.
  • A reminder that because of Breonna's case, no-knock warrants are no longer allowed in Louisville (but they knocked right?)
  • A reminder that the city settled out of court for $12M in the wrongful death suit, so they possibly feared losing in court and paying more.

This whole conflict going on with the Divas feels very colorist. Especially since two of the members with the darker skin tones (Meline & Ayesha) are essentially bullying and picking on Sabrina, who is lighter than them...

Not to mention that Sabrina has a much nicer personality compared to those two. Meline is the "diva" of the group so it's not surprising to me that she has more sass. And we haven't really seen all that much of Ayesha's personality but I didn't appreciate how hostile she was towards Sabrina...

Note: I'm black so I feel like I have the right to call this out.

Ok so for those of you who don’t have Twitter

The TOH fandom has a big problem with white favoritism. It needs to be brought up and talked about. First, a lot of actual POC are drowned out or ignored or don’t recieve enough acknowledgement. Then there’s the characters. A lot of people are coming in not knowing that Luz, an Afro-Latina female who is bisexual, is the main character because there’s so much about Amity. Gus and Willow are also extremely underrated and overshadowed because of characters that appeared for like one episode, said characters being white. Same with background characters. Everyone goes crazy over Boscha but no one talks about Skara or Kat. Then there’s the problem of Luz and Willows’ parents being called abusive for just trying to help their kids and for wanting what’s best while the Blights (actual abusers) have a lot of posts about them because everyone started dumping over them despite how they treat Amity. Someone else pointed out how Camilia is rarely ever drawn aside from being shipped with a white woman (Eda). Also it’s really kind of sad, for me personally, to finally see a Hispanic main character who’s bi get pushed aside, especially during both Bisexual Awareness Week and Hispanic Heritage Month.
