- A federal judge dismissed major felony charges against two former Louisville officers, ruling that Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend firing a shot was the legal cause of her death, not the flawed warrant.
- The judge reduced civil rights charges against the officers to misdemeanors but upheld some lesser charges, with a trial still pending.
- The U.S. Justice Department is reviewing the decision, while a third officer involved has already pleaded guilty to conspiracy and will testify.
We already had a good conversation about this over on this post yesterday, in case you missed it. Pretty sure it’s in the same community. Shittier source on that one (I hate Newsweek), but I think it’s better to join in on the existing discussion?
Thank you, I missed that!
No problem! Multiple sources is never bad, but one thing I struggle with on Lemmy is the disparate spreading out of convos across posts in the same community. I wish there were better tools to minimize this without generous posters like you having to keep track of every single post before submitting something new.
Admittedly one of the benefits of Reddit was the extensive modding community that kept on top of things like this. In some news communities they would remove duplicate stories, even from different sources, for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Of course they could be overzealous too. :)
