Breonna Taylor And The Night That Changed My Life

John Mattingly

The incident on March 13, 2020 — the night Breonna Taylor was shot — was tragic. It was one of many horrific incidents I’ve seen in my long police career. Breonna Taylor was caught up in the crosshairs of her ex-boyfriend’s drug dealing and criminal record, and she did not deserve to die. My heart, as I’ve said before, goes out to her family. 

But the lies, propaganda, and falsehoods that came in the months after the incident, targeting me, my family, and my fellow cops, were not justified.
