CNN has a cop apologist yammering on the tube right now

1. Oh phew! I was really worried

I was really worried that we weren't going to hear about what an ordeal the cops went through when their homicidal boo-boo was reviewed and they had to answer for their actions before a highly sympathetic investigator who would whitewash (and I do mean "white" ) any of their shortcomings and provide total exoneration. It must have been hell having to go through this rigged process that would inevitably, inexorably, lead to their complete vindication.

2. He's a former cop and police chief who has always been fair when he's on CNN, IMO

Jeffrey Toobin and he agreed that it was right, based on what evidence the Grand Jury was shown, to not file charges against the cops.

Repeat - based on the evidence shown to the GJ. Breonna Taylor's boyfriend's lawyer was on just before and said the GJ didn't get even close to all the evidence.

I thought it was a fair segment, not "cop apology."

3. Seems the real culprits that should be in jail are those that applied for and approved the warrant

without checking facts, and those that do that everyday in other cities. Can't get excited about overzealous enforcement of drug laws either.

Now if there is evidence that the police who served the warrant knew the people inside were innocent, or could see Ms. Taylor wasn't armed, that's totally different.

It's an awful tragedy and poor police work -- especially those who drew up the warrant -- and someone ought to be be help accountable. But I'm not sure it is the policemen at the scene, unless there is something not being disclosed.

Don't think a prosecutor could get a conviction for those three with what we know now.

I am concerned about the policeman who apparently emptied his gun into a dark apartment.
