U.S. City To Pay ₦4.6Billion To Family Of Lady Murdered By Police by Explorers(m): 8:55pm On Sep 16, 2020 |
*. The financial payment is the largest amount the city has ever paid in relation to a police misconduct lawsuit. *. The settlement also includes a series of police reforms, including that police commanders must approve all search warrants in advance. The city of Louisville has agreed to pay Breonna Taylor's family a record-breaking $12 million in a wrongful death lawsuit as the slain black EMT's mother continued calls for the officers involved to be charged. The settlement, which brings an end to the wrongful death lawsuit that Taylor's mother Tamika Palmer filed against the city and its police department back in April, is the largest amount the city has ever paid. At a press conference on Tuesday announcing the settlement, Taylor's mother pushed for charges against the officers involved in the shooting. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8735039/City-Louisville-agrees-substantial-settlement-Breonna-Taylor-shooting.html?ito=social-facebook

Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT (Emergency Medical Technician), was gunned down in March, 2020 when Louisville police burst into her apartment using a no-knock arrest warrant that did not require them to announce themselves. Police descended on her apartment after securing a court-approved warrant as part of a drug investigation involving her ex-boyfriend that allowed officers to enter her home without any warning. Taylor and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, had been sleeping in bed when the officers served the warrant around 1am. Walker fired his gun when officers stormed into the apartment and has since said he thought he was defending against a home invasion. At the time, Walker told police that he could hear knocking on the night of the shooting but did not hear police announce themselves. Walker said he was 'scared to death' so he grabbed his gun and when the door was knocked down, he fired a shot that ended up striking an officer in the leg. Investigators said police were returning fire when they shot Taylor 8 times. No drugs were found at her home. 5 Likes 1 Share

One of the officers, Brett Hankison, was fired for 'blindly' firing 10 shots into Taylor's apartment from outside. The other two, John Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove, remain on the force on administrative assignment. The floor was covered with spent bullet casings, showing the frenzy of fire that was unleashed on Taylor and her boyfriend. 2 Likes 1 Share

Her slaying set off weeks of protests, policy changes and a call for the three Louisville Metro Police Department officers who shot Taylor to be criminally charged. 1 Like

I'LL PICK THE NPF OVER THESE GUYS BECAUSE AT LEAST, YOU CAN BRIBE YOUR WAY AND STAY ALIVE FOR YOUR FAMILY. IN THE UNITED STATES, A DAY WITHOUT BULLYING AND KILLING INNOCENT CITIZENS (IRRESPECTIVE OF COLOR) IS A WASTED DAY FOR AN OFFICER IN THE U.S. THERE'S NO ARGUING THAT THESE COPS BET BETWEEN THEMSELVES FOR WHO WILL SHOOT THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF INNOCENT PEOPLE DAILY. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

That's good but no matter the amount paid it won't bring back the Dead . they've been killing male from time immemorial never heard of such huge settlement oh but because she is a female they're giving the family such a huge amount ok. I've come to understand that in western WORLD adult male life doesn't matter especially that of adult black man' s life 1 Like |
