After Breonna Taylor’s death, there was (and still is) a public outcry for the officers involved in her death to be fired from the Louisville Metro Police Department and to be criminally charged in her death.
In his appeal, his lawyers stated that it wasn’t fair for Hankison to be fired before the FBI, Kentucky Attorney General’s Office and the Kentucky State Police finished investigating the matter.
“This Merit Board, created to see that the hiring and firing of police officers is based on merit and just cause, and to protect against political considerations in such decisions, should not countenance what has happened.”
Interim Louisville Police Chief Robert Schroeder announced June 23 that Hankison was being terminated from the police department.
You have never been trained by the Louisville Metro Police Department to use deadly force in this fashion.
