It& #39;s a tragedy what happened to Breonna Taylor, but in the Greek sense. By all means let& #39;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& #39;s life Glover exercised, it& #39;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."
