Shaq agreed:

“ I have to agree with Charles, this one is sort of lumped in. You have to get a warrant signed and some states do allow no-knock warrants. And everyone was asking for murder charges. When you talk about murder, you have to show intent. A homicide occurred and we're sorry a homicide occurred. When you have a warrant signed by the judge, you are doing your job, and I would imagine that you would fire back."

Imagine your child was Breonna Taylor. She was a promising paramedic (?) asleep in her bed and cops looking for drugs in the wrong house kick in the door and she ends up dead in her bed with, I don't know, half a dozen bullet wounds. You leader's response to you is a shrug, "we got the house wrong, and sorry, that sort of thing happens. No one is at fault.". This wasn't a tree falling on her house. This was people shooting her. Shooting at a person that shot at them and missing him, missing so badly they were actually charged with a crime of negligently missing.

Even if they'd had the right house, the level of fire power and the use of a no-knock warrant and an assault team is absolutely absurd for a drug offense.

The response of Breonna's community is pretty tame given the number of people who fucked up that night, and the fact that none of them appear to give a shit. The laws are wrong. The execution of the laws are wrong. The detectives we're wrong. The assault team was wrong. Fuck anyone who supports keeping that pile of shit in place with a que sera sera.

I don’t know too much about this case, not really gonna spend time this on this, but I think you may be leaning on some facebook facts here:

Even though the cops had a no-knock warrant, they indeed did knock (reportedly for up to a minute), which has been confirmed by the boyfriend in the house. The boyfriend shot first. He struck a police officer with a bullet. Cops opened fire on a suspected violent criminal that had already shot them. What else would you expect them to do? Ask politely that he not shoot them AGAIN? Your head is up your ass if you believe this was purely racial. Breonna handled all the money in a drug operation. Again, confirmed through testimony of the ex-boyfriend. They had been under surveillance for months. Again, this is all according to the USA Today. Plus the grand jury was made up of citizens of multiple ethnicities - including African Americans - and the Attorney General is also black!

wow i have not paid attention to the details of this case but i don't understand how the boyfriend's initial action is justified

what if there is a fire in the building and someone is knocking to tell you to get the fuck out?

or a million other reasons not to just fire your gun at the door

the whole thing is terrible and tragic

but the mainstream version of this story seems manipulated

a) You don’t need a CCW inside your own house.

b) No they don’t.

This was only the first incident where he hit some people. He hit another guy later. Apparently everyone just sort of laughed it off, dusted themselves off and kept watching the show.
