Breaking: At least one of the officers involved in the raid on Breonna Taylor's apartment was wearing a body camera. And at least one more was pictured wearing a body camera holder after the raid https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/935jqy/new-photos-show-at-least-one-cop-in-deadly-breonna-taylor-raid-was-wearing-a-body-camera
This contradicts statements by the Louisville Metro Police Department that the officers involved do not wear body cameras. The department has also said there is no body camera footage from the raid. It’s unclear if the camera present was turned on during the raid
The photos, which were obtained by VICE News, are among more than 1,200 taken by the Louisville Metro Police Department and included as part of discovery in Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker’s criminal case, which was dropped by the Commonwealth Attorney back in May
They show an apartment riddled with bullets, including holes through the ceiling and nearly every room and wall. They also, in a few instances, appear to reveal discrepancies in the placement of several bullet casings between what is pictured at night and the following day
Two in particular, which were reviewed by a former Louisville Metro Police Department narcotics officer, stand out: #23 and #34, shown below
“There is literally no reason ever to move evidence, and it sure appears to be the case here,” criminologist Peter Kraska said after being shown the photos.
More to come, including another scoop this morning that shows LMPD either misrepresented intel it had before the raid, or didn't share it with the officers involved
