Breonna Taylor’s Boyfriend Seeks Damages From Police
Kenneth Walker was asleep at home with Breonna Taylor when police burst in with a search warrant — which turned out to be for the wrong house. Walker fired shots at the intruders, and while firing back, they killed Taylor. No one has been charged in her death, so Walker is seeking justice another way.
The suit alleges that the warrant was based on fabricated assertions; the raid was unnecessarily conducted in the middle of the night; the officers did not announce they were police; and the officers responded with excessive force. (CNN)

Louisville Cops Avoid Murder Charges
Jonathan Mattingly, the Louisville Metro Police sergeant who was shot while attempting to serve a search warrant in a narcotics investigation that cost Taylor her life and the other officers involved were not charged with murder. One of the officers, Brett Hankinson, was fired from the LMPD and charged with wanton endangerment because of the shots he recklessly fired into other nearby homes. However, grand jury members have recently come forward to say they were never given an option to charge the cops with murder.
