Breonna Taylor’s BF Says Police Told Him It Was “Unfortunate” He Wasn’t Shot
There are so many disturbing aspects about what happened to Breonna Taylor that we don’t even know where to start.
Kenneth Walker, Taylor’s boyfriend, is speaking out about what happened to her, opening up in an interview with Gayle King for CBS This Morning where he divulges even more disgusting details about that night.
Among other things, Walker says that a police officer told him it was “unfortunate” that he was not struck with bullets.

“I thought they was coming for help because I called 911 [after they barged through the door],” said Walker to Gayle King. “So, when I go outside, there’s guns pointed at me and I’m being threatened with dogs and whatever else. An officer asked me was I hit by any bullets and I said no. He said ‘that’s unfortunate’, so that threw me off too. What does he mean by that?”
Walker says earlier on that when they heard a “loud bang” at the door, they asked who was there. He alleges that none of the officers identified themselves when he and Breonna called out several times.
“If they had knocked on the door and said who it was, we could hear them,” says Walker. “I’m a million percent sure that nobody identified themselves.”

Walker claims that, after the knock, they went to put on clothes to see who was there, and Walker grabbed his gun, which he was licensed to carry. “That was the one time I had to use it,” he says. “And if it was the police at the door and they just said ‘we’re the police’, me or Breonna didn’t have a reason at all not to answer the door and see what they wanted.”
He says that he fired one shot after the door flew off the hinges, believing that if somebody was trying to break in, they would “not want to do anything after that”. Then, he describes the barrage of gunfire, comparing it to what “war probably sounds like”.

Pete Miller Explores Duality on “The Dazzling Kimberly”
Pete Miller’s ‘The Dazzling Kimberly’ is a profound exploration of the intricacies of human emotion and the complexity of our relationships. Through its narrative, the song delves deep into the heart of love, loss, and the paths we choose in life. The protagonist’s journey of self-reflection and contemplation, sparked by the enigmatic Kimberly, serves as a mirror to our own experiences with love and the often painful lessons that come with it.
“The Dazzling Kimberly” is a poignant song that narrates the story of two twins embroiled in conflict, who are brought together and eventually reconciled by their interactions with a mystical figure named Kimberly. This song, with its rich narrative and allusions, particularly to the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, offers a layered exploration of themes such as rivalry, redemption, and the ephemeral nature of life and relationships.
The song opens with a vivid depiction of one twin’s sense of guilt and moral ambiguity, contrasting his own cunning with his twin’s straightforward approach. This internal conflict sets the stage for the entrance of Kimberly, a figure whose very existence seems otherworldly, serving as a catalyst for change and reflection in the twins’ lives.
Kimberly, characterized by her wisdom and almost supernatural presence, challenges the narrator to reconsider his values, suggesting that victories won through cunning lack the essence of true love and fulfillment. Her influence is profound, guiding the twins towards a reconciliation that seemed impossible before her intervention.
The chorus of the song encapsulates the narrator’s deep yearning and the transformative impact Kimberly has had on his life. It questions the value of freedom and the significance of their bond, highlighting the impermanence of life through the metaphor of fading air and shifting sands.
The resolution of the twins’ conflict, prompted by Kimberly’s disappearance (or passing), symbolizes a newfound maturity and understanding. The once-contentious land becomes a symbol of their shared heritage and reconciliation, underscoring the message that love and unity are more valuable than any material possession or victory.
The allusion to Jacob and Esau provides a biblical backdrop to this tale of rivalry and reconciliation, enriching the narrative with layers of meaning and moral questioning. Just as Jacob and Esau reconcile after years of conflict, so do the twins, guided by the ethereal and loving presence of Kimberly.
The song’s melancholic yet hopeful tone captures the duality of human experience—the longing for what was and the hope for what could be. The moods and themes you’ve described, from melancholy and contemplation to love, regret, and redemption, underscore the universal struggle with fate and the desire for moral clarity and closure.
For further thematic exploration, the works of Leonard Cohen, particularly for their spiritual and existential undertones, or the poetic narratives of Bob Dylan, might resonate with the themes of “The Dazzling Kimberly.” Both artists adeptly weave complex human emotions with broader philosophical and spiritual questions, much like Pete Miller does in this song.
