Chanting "Say her name" (referring to Breonna Taylor)

The major irony here:
Sen. Rand Paul Introduces the ‘Justice for Breonna Taylor’ Act | Senator Rand Paul
On June 11th.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act to prohibit no-knock warrants, which allow law enforcement officials to forcibly enter a home without announcing their authority or purpose.
The bill is named in memory and honor of Breonna Taylor, a Louisville resident and EMT who was killed during a police raid on her home in March 2020, which was conducted under the authority of a no-knock warrant.
“After talking with Breonna Taylor’s family, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s long past time to get rid of no-knock warrants. This bill will effectively end no-knock raids in the United States,” said Sen. Paul.
Earlier this week, Senator Paul held a call with Breonna Taylor’s aunt, Bianca Austin, Game Changers Executive Director Christopher 2X, and others fighting for criminal justice reform, where he reiterated his long-standing commitment to ensuring a just and fair system that respects all Americans’ rights, including the need to end no-knock warrants.
So not only has he said her name, he's spoken with her family, taken legislative action (2 months ago) to correct the issue with no-knock warrants, and named the proposed bill in her honor.
Given that this is the case, I'm guessing it's one of 3 scenarios:
1) They were misinformed about something (not hard when so many people get their info exclusively from social media)
2) There were under-informed, which is quite possible, as after Rand introduced this bill (as a result of speaking directly with her family), the only ones reporting on it were local news affiliates in Kentucky...only one tiny article about it buried in the back pages of CNN, and not a peep from MSNBC about it, NBC had a tiny blurb about it buried in article about the case.
3) They just had their mind already made up that they were going to target any prominent politician they saw walking out of the convention.
