New Photos Show at Least One Cop in Deadly Breonna Taylor Raid Was Wearing a Body Camera
The Louisville police department has said there was no body camera footage of the raid that led to the death of Breonna Taylor.
what happened to physical requirements to join LEO?:
At least one of the officers participating in the deadly raid on Breonna Taylor’s home was wearing a body camera, and at least one other was wearing a body camera holder, according to crime scene photographs taken by the Louisville Metro Police Department and obtained by VICE News.
This contradicts statements by the Louisville Metro Police Department that the officers involved, who work narcotics, do not wear body cameras. The department has also said there is no body camera footage from the raid. It’s unclear, however, if the camera present was turned on during the raid.
The photos also raise serious doubts about several of the Louisville Metro Police Department’s statements about what happened the night Taylor was killed and what evidence exists from the police raid that led to her death.
One of the key challenges in investigating this case has been the lack of body camera footage depicting the raid itself.
Hours after Taylor’s death, then Police Chief Steve Conrad told reporters at a press briefing that there was no body camera footage of the incident.
“I want to start by letting you all know that we have no body-worn video cameras to share with you from this morning’s shooting,” he said. “This incident was related to the execution of a search warrant by members of our Criminal Interdiction Division, and some of the officers assigned to this division do not wear body-worn video systems.” That division includes narcotics, which police have also said don’t wear body cameras.
