If Breonna Taylor had been white Democrats would have been talking about gun control

If Breonna Taylor was white and her white boyfriend shot at the police as they entered her apartment the same Democrats who are saying all cops hate Black people would be saying that the incident shows the need for gun control.

After all if Breonna's boyfriend hadn't shot at the police Breonna would be alive today.  Clearly we need to keep people from having guns to avoid incidents like this is the mantra that Democrats would be repeating.

But since it was a Black man who shot at the cops the issue isn't that guns are bad but that cops are bad.

We know, based on both the testimony of the police and another civilian witness, that the police identified themselves. 

We know, based on the testimony of the police and Breonna's boyfriend, that the police, despite having a no knock warrant, knocked.

While it's possible that Breonna's boyfriend was just confused it's also true that if he shot knowing that it was the police he'd be the last one to admit it.

In any case no sane and honest person can say that cops shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves when someone shoots at them.

Remember the one cop who broke the rules, by firing through a window where the blinds were down so he didn't know what he was shooting at, was charged.

This incident shows the vacuity of Democrat's call for taking your guns and their claim that cops are out hunting Black people.
