. @louisvillemayor announced that @LMPD Officer Brett Hankison has been fired. The press conference lasted less than a minute.
Attorneys for #BreonnaTayor claimed Hankison fired more than 20 shots into Taylor& #39;s apartment and that of her neighbors and then went AWOL afterwards
From @louisvillemayor:
“Unfortunately, due to a provision in state law that I very much would like to see changed, both the Chief and I are precluded from talking about what brought us to this moment, or even the timing of this decision."
Sam Aguiar, an attorney for #BreonnaTayor& #39;s family, on the firing of Hankison: "It& #39;s about time and this is the poster child of the dirtiest of dirty cops and the most dangerous of dangerous cops. I hope to God he& #39;s never back to working our streets again."
Hankison termination letter written by acting @LMPD Chief Robert Schroerder: "I find your conduct a shock to the conscience. I am alarmed and stunned you used deadly force in this fashion."
NEW: Louisville police to fire Brett Hankison, detective involved in Breonna Taylor shooting, for use of deadly force.
"Your actions displayed an extreme indifference to the value of human life," the chief wrote https://wdrb.news/2Nds6a0 ">https://wdrb.news/2Nds6a0&q...
Attorney Sam Aguiar’s response to reading Hankison’s termination letter:
“It’s about damn time. And if this wasn’t wanton murder and attempted murder, then I don’t know what the hell would be. We expect and demand these charges. Lots of explaining to do if they don’t come.”
