Louisville's top police officers walked out of a committee hearing, refusing to answer questions amid an ongoing investigation into the city's handling of the Breonna Taylor case.
Taylor, a licensed EMT, was fatally shot by police serving a search warrant of her Kentucky home on March 13, 2020.
The officials had agreed to testify before the Government Oversight and Audit Committee about the city's response to ongoing protests over Taylor's death. An image shows a mural of Breonna Taylor, who was killed in her own apartment by Louisville, Kentucky police officers, on two basketball courts in Annapolis, Maryland, July 8, 2020.Attorneys for Schroeder and Hess argued that they couldn't answer the questions due to a federal lawsuit filed Thursday by the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky and the NAACP. It names Schroeder, Mayor Fischer, Louisville metro government and the police department among the defendants.
"To have him be compelled to testify here today would be in contradiction to the statutes that have been promulgated by our legislature," he added. Taylor's death on March 13 sent shock waves around the country. Louisville police officers had executed a no-knock search warrant and used a battering ram to forcefully enter the young woman's apartment.Taylor and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, got out of bed around midnight when they heard a commotion outside. After a short exchange with police, Walker fired his gun in self-defense, saying he thought his home was being broken into, according to police.
