Rioting, during which two Louisville cops were shot, broke out after a grand jury refused to indict any officers for killing Breoona Taylor.  The grand jury did indict one officer for wanton endangerment because his shots went into neighboring apartments.  

Leave it to Joe Biden to politicize on Wednesday the tragic death of Breonna Taylor.  Biden pandered to BLM by declaring that equal justice was not answered.  Here is what the White Obama said:

In the wake of her tragic death, we mourn with her mother, family, and community and ask ourselves whether justice could be equally applied in America.  I know for so many people today’s decision does not answer that call.

We do not need to wait for the final judgment of that [federal] investigation to do more to deliver justice for Breonna. We know what is necessary.

We need to start by addressing the use of excessive force, banning chokeholds, and overhauling no-knock warrants.

Although the Louisville officers were issued a no-knock warrant they did not exercise that right.  When Biden wants no-knock warrants overhauled, he probably means he wants them done away with.  There are times when no-knock warrants are justified.   

As for choke holds, sometimes that is the only way of overpowering a suspect who is resisting arrest short of shooting him.  And excessive force is in the eye of the beholder.  Often what appears to be excessive force is merely the force needed to make an arrest.

Kamala Harris also piped in by saying, "We must never stop speaking Breonna’s name as we work to reform our justice system, including overhauling no-knock warrants."

In order to ensure that he gets the votes of the BLM protesters, Biden wants the blood of every officer involved in the Breonna Taylor case.  

The White Obama conveniently ignores the fact that (1) the cops knocked on the door and announced themselves, (2) they waited for a response before entering the apartment, and (3) they opened fire only after Breonna Taylor's live-in boyfriend shot one of the officers.  

Biden's politicizing the tragic death of Breonna Taylor is just plain obscene!
