The cop charged was not one of the two who shot the woman.

(11,862 posts)3. He obviously shot at something...
and missed...so he was charged with missing killing the black woman and scaring white folk?
COLGATE4
(14,732 posts)4. He shot from the parking lot through a window that had blinds drawn
into a neighboring apartment, missing a pregnant mother and her child. That's what he was charged with.

(30,613 posts)7. OK so he was charged with the shots he missed.
Though all of his shots missed.
COLGATE4
(14,732 posts)8. Yep. Reckless endangerment.

COLGATE4
(14,732 posts)11. The cops' lawyers will respond that her boyfriend
opened fire on them, hitting one of them. They returned fire and, unfortunately she was hit.

(11,235 posts)5. right. the shooting of Breonna brought no charges
(reckless discharge, or some equivalent, on the part of another officer)
Appreciate effort to clarify. The sign -- skirts around the edges of the facts.
(as disappointing as the facts and reality might be.)
