It's a tragedy what happened to Breonna Taylor, but in the Greek sense. By all means let's criticize American policing, but outrage here should be directed primarily at Jamarcus Glover. His actions put her in danger and *crucially* led her boyfriend to fire his weapon in fear.
Without an awareness of and critique of the hold over Taylor's life Glover exercised, it's impossible to talk about realistic solutions.
"Mr. Glover’s frequent run-ins with the police entangled her. She had been interviewed in a murder inquiry. ... A GPS tracker the police placed on his car later showed him making regular trips to her apartment complex, and surveillance photos showed her outside a drug house."
"Mr. Glover used her address to receive parcels; and database searches indicating that as of late February, he listed her apartment as his home address."
