    One cop is charged with 'wanton endangerment' over Breonna Taylor's shooting death as two others walk free and 72 hour curfew is announced in Louisville and national guard is mobilized
    • Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is due to announce his decision in Frankfort on Wednesday
    • He will confirm whether or not Louisville Metro cops will face charges over their role in Breonna Taylor's fatal shooting in March
    • The Jefferson County grand jury will present its report on the case to a circuit judge ahead of Cameron's press conference, at 1.15pm
    • Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer on Wednesday also announced a 72-hour curfew for the city beginning at 9pm
    • City officials are bracing for further unrest ahead of the highly anticipated decision, which comes six months after Taylor's death
    • Fischer declared a state of emergency on Tuesday hours after police said they would restrict access in the city's downtown area\

    When they declared a state of emergency BEFORE the announcement, you knew it was going to go down like this.
    Just read the the officer who was charged with “wanton Endangerment” had already been fired, and the charge had nothing to do with the actually murder of Breonna, but the reckless shooting into the other apartments!!!! Oh lord, this is a mess.

    This needs its own thread.

    Expecting Louisville to justifiably burn today. Coward AG. What a pathetic display.

    I'm expecting the fallouts of this to reach the NBA playoffs.

    I thought posting "Arrest the Cops that Killed Breonna Taylor" on the IG would have had a bigger impact tbh

    After reading the facts associated with the case I am not surprised by this.

    1) The cops had a no knock warrant.
    2) The cops were fired upon first.

    That pretty much does it for me. Please enlighten me as to what the AG should have charged them with.

    Have they said what charges were presented to the grand jury to consider?

    the facts:

    + LMPD officers went to the home of Breonna Taylor on Springfield Drive on March 13 to serve a warrant related to a drug trafficking investigation.

    + LMPD officials described that warrant as a “no-knock warrant,” meaning the officers were not required to announce themselves upon arriving at Taylor’s home, but those LMPD officials said they did anyway. Taylor’s family and attorneys dispute that the officers announced themselves.

    + A shootout ensued between a suspect inside the home -- Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker -- and the LMPD officers. One LMPD officer was struck, and three of them fired back. The officer who was struck has recovered. Taylor’s family has filed a civil lawsuit that states Walker thought someone was breaking into the apartment, and that’s why he fired his gun.

    + Walker, whose name was not on the warrant, is now charged with attempted murder of a police officer.

    + Taylor was shot multiple times and died during the shootout.

    + Three LMPD officers -- Jon Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove -- all were placed on administrative assignment, per department protocol.

    + There is no officer body-camera video of the incident. The aforementioned trio work in LMPD’s Criminal Interdiction Division, comprised of officers who generally work narcotics cases and therefore are not issued body-cameras due to the nature of their work.

    + Police fired shots from the outside into the apartment through closed blinds.

    + Another suspect named on the warrant, Jamarcus Glover, was arrested at another location a short time before the police shootout at Taylor’s home, according to the arrest citation.

    + Taylor was not armed.

    + Attorneys for Taylor said neither Taylor nor Walker had a history of drugs or violence.

    + Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney Tom Wine, already investigating Kenneth Walker, recused himself of the investigation into Taylor’s death, citing a conflict of interest. He has asked Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron to appoint a special prosecutor for that investigation.

    + Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and LMPD Chief Steve Conrad have called for a federal review of the findings of the LMPD Public Integrity Unit’s investigation into the Taylor case, once it is complete.

    And here are some responses to several inaccuracies the WAVE 3 News team has seen on some national news sites being passed around social media and:

    + Statement: Police had the wrong address

    Fact: Taylor’s correct address was on the warrant, including her apartment number and pictures of the outside of her apartment and patio.

    + Statement: Breonna Taylor’s name wasn’t on the warrant

    Fact: Breonna Taylor’s name was one of three people named on the warrant, which included her date of birth.

    + Statement: Police should have knocked and announced themselves before entering the home

    Fact: The warrant was a “no-knock” warrant, meaning officers were not required to announce themselves before making entry. Again, LMPD says the officers did announce themselves, but Taylor’s attorneys dispute that claim.

    + Statement: Breonna Taylor was shot while sleeping in her bedroom

    Fact: Taylor’s attorneys said she was not asleep and was shot in the hallway outside of her bedroom.

    + Statement: Police already had a suspect in custody

    Fact: One person related to the drug trafficking investigation, Jamarcus Glover, was arrested at a different location on the same date. It is unclear whether police believed a third person named on the warrant, Adrian Walker, was inside the home at the time of the shootout, or at the location where Glover was arrested a short time earlier. It is not clear if Kenneth Walker and Adrian Walker are related.
