The Police Cited With Killing Breonna Taylor Are Still Free

According to the Huff Post, while George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery’s killers face charges, the Louisville police officers who reportedly shot and killed Breonna Taylor are free.

Jonathan Mattingly and officers Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove are all still employed by the police department.

They were placed on administrative leave after using a “no-knock” warrant to enter 26-year-old Breonna Taylor's home in mid-March.

Reports say they shot and killed her while she was asleep, but had the wrong address.

The cops were carrying out a narcotics investigation but "the house where the main suspects allegedly sold drugs was more than 10 miles away from Taylor’s apartment." After Taylor was dead, police acknowledged that the man officers had been searching for was already in custody.

The FBI’s Louisville office has opened an investigation, and Louisville's mayor temporarily suspended all “no-knock” warrants.

Activists are urging people to keep fighting to make sure her killers are brought to justice.
