Sgt. John Mattingly, The Cop Wounded In Breonna Taylor Shooting, Tells His Story

Ben Johnson

Two years ago this week, Breonna Taylor lost her life as police served a narcotics warrant on the apartment where she was staying with her boyfriend Kenneth Walker. While the nation has spent two years saying her name, it has turned a blind eye to Louisville Police Sergeant John Mattingly, who nearly lost his life to a gunshot from Walker’s 9-millimeter handgun. Sgt. Mattingly says he and Taylor were both victimized by Walker in his new book “12 Seconds In The Dark,” which The Daily Wire released this week. Mattingly exposes how his own heart broke for Taylor; how “grimy” attorneys and activists lied about the police’s actions that night, and how a compliant legacy media repeated those lies. Mattingly reveals he and his family have had to flee their home repeatedly while plagued by the fear of death threats which has yet to abate two years later. Perhaps most jarringly, until now, the Mattingly family’s peril has been rendered invisible by an ideologically driven media more interested in advancing a political agenda than helping victims of injustice.
