  • So the reason I care is that every half-truth is a chink in the armor of the overall cause. Social and racial justice are incredibly important causes. When people make bold statements that aren't entirely factual, the opposition points to them in order to discredit the cause as a whole. I want to persuade the persuadable by being factually correct whenever possible.

    I do understand your overall point though.

  • Look, I think it is clear that there is no amount of evidence that will make you change your mind on this.

    Walker clearly said they were watching a movie, which you choose to interpret as they were probably asleep. I choose to interpret it more literally as they were actually watching a movie.

    The preponderance of evidence suggests they were watching a movie, and there is no evidence saying they were asleep, only that they "could" have been asleep.

  • Yeah, this is definitely a bit confusing. I think I replied to you on multiple threads and also wrongfully assumed you were the original poster of the graphic. I apologize for any frustration that added to the situation.

    Edit for any future readers: Upon closer look, "bauhaus" and "BrooklynMan" have extremely similar looking profiles pictures, banners, and writing styles. On brief inspection, it looks like the images in particular were generated by AI. It's not a smoking gun per se, but it seems sketchy.

  • I made the claim you are arguing in bad faith because from my perspective that is exactly what you are doing.

    I state your original claim is untrue, then you tell me your statement should be interpreted as she was asleep before police woke her up. Then I present solid evidence that she was watching a movie. Then you move the goalpost and claim my evidence isn't explicit enough for you. You also present no counter evidence. I then call you out on arguing in bad faith.

    How else am I supposed to interpret what you are doing? From my perspective it seems obvious you are just trying to win an argument rather than get to the truth of the matter.

    From my perspective, I am the person saying "We found these facts. care to respond?" and you are the person replying "Everything in the media is FAKE NEWS!"

    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.

  • “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.

  • 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.
