      I get what you are trying to say, but she wasn’t sleeping at the time of the shooting. No need to rely on misinformation to here. The truth is damning enough for police.

      Edit: In case y’all need proof.

      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.”

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

        what misinformation?

          “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.
