Report: officers shouldn’t have fired in Breonna Taylor raid

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A newspaper report says Louisville police documents in the deadly Breonna Taylor raid are revealing internal disagreements about whether officers were justified in using deadly force. In a report from December, a Louisville police investigator said the officers shouldn’t have returned fire because it put others in danger. They were shot at by Taylor’s boyfriend, who says he thought an intruder was breaking in. According to the Courier-Journal, the findings by Sgt. Andrew Meyer of the department’s Professional Standards Unit were overruled by police leadership. Meyer said even Sgt. Johnathan Mattingly shouldn’t have fired. Mattingly was struck in the leg by a bullet when Taylor’s boyfriend fired.
