Louisville Police Searched For Evidence Against Breonna Taylor’s Boyfriend After Fatal Shooting

The fight for justice in Breonna Taylor‘s murder just took a major twist. An internal investigation now reveals the Louisville Metro Police Department actively gathered negative information about the slain Kentucky woman’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, after its own officers shot and killed Taylor.

Police Collected Negative Info About Breonna Taylor’s Boyfriend

This week, thousands of pages and hundreds of hours of audio and video from the investigation into Taylor’s death were released to the public. Documents show police believed Walker sold drugs and may have been involved in a robbery. Pictures and text messages from Walker’s phone were examined. Walker’s attorney says the department had a conflict of interest, since it was also investigating Louisville officers for their roles in the fatal shooting.

“It’s just a cover-up,” said Steven Romines, the attorney representing Walker in a civil suit against the police department. “And it reflects the fact that over two months into the investigation of Breonna Taylor’s death, LMPD [was] more interested in including unsupported allegations to smear Kenny Walker than it [was] in actually finding the truth.” (NBC News)

Rotimi Addresses Breonna Taylor Injustice

This week, singer Rotimi delivered his must-see “Unity” visual to the masses following more drama surrounding the Breonna Taylor grand jury decision. He also makes direct references to other victims of police brutality including Black man George Floyd.

The “Unity” music video promotes social change through use of striking visuals that spotlight the world coming together for recent racial justice movements. Opening with Rotimi dressed in an all-white ensemble, his surroundings set as a backdrop for the powerful images of recent events. His opening phrase “Let’s talk about unity“ is repeated as clips of police brutality, mass protests, devastating wars, and desolation flash before the viewers eyes. As Rotimi sings “Whole world / at a standstill, we’re fighting for justice, no need for division, no, we all got a purpose,” a montage of recent Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ+ protests, coronavirus footage, and images of Martin Luther King Jr. transition from scene to scene showcasing the state of our world, both past and present.

Grand Jury Audio Emerges

According to reports, there’s conflicting testimony over the seconds before police fatally shot Taylor in her own apartment in March. Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker – in the recordings – is heard saying they had no idea who was at the door and said the cops didn’t announce themselves before breaking into the apartment.

The officers involved in the raid, though, insisted in interviews with investigators that they had loudly identified themselves as the police before they burst through the door. It was only after one officer was shot by Mr. Walker, they said, that they opened fire at the couple, killing Ms. Taylor. The dueling accounts of a chaotic and tragic night are captured in 15 hours of recordings from the grand jury’s examination of the fatal raid, which was part of a drug investigation targeting a man who was arrested elsewhere. For the first time, some of those directly involved in the police shooting — including neighbors, officers and Mr. Walker — are heard describing the fateful night. (MSN)
