From what I've read about that... the police had a no knock warrant, they were fired upon, it was night and probably dark.
Honestly, I'm getting sick and tired of these stories. The kicker here is... so are a lot of other folks. This whole slew of these cases is gonna hurt the black folks. It's gonna push civil rights way back.
I know that's not what people are attempting to do here, but that's what's gonna happen.

According to The Louisville Courier Journal, the police had been investigating two men who they believed were selling drugs out of a house that was far from Ms. Taylor’s home. But a judge had also signed a warrant allowing the police to search Ms. Taylor’s residence because the police said they believed that one of the two men had used her apartment to receive packages.
In this case... which is more likely? The police just wanted to kill a hosp. worker, OR they had evidence that her house was being used to receive illicit packages?
In the long run this will turn out bad for black folk. It's like they told Maverick in Top Gun (the movie)... "You're name ain't the best in the Navy. You gotta be doing it better, cleaner".
Blacks are out numbered in the US at least 3 to 1. Blacks have to be doing it better, cleaner. Some have realized this and are doing it, better, cleaner. Most aren't. This is why this social media flurry of stories is going to back fire.
I don't WANT to see that happen, but, that is what will happen.
