New: LMPD Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly (who is being investigated as part of Breonna Taylor’s case) sent an email to around 1,000 officers at 2am that calls protestors thugs, complains about the government enforcing civil rights violations, and claims this is "good versus evil”

The section about the enforcement of civil rights violations is particularly jarring. "..the department and FBI (who aren't cops and would piss their pants if they had to hold the line) go after you for civil rights violations."

"Remember, you are just a pawn in the Mayor's political game"

This is all from one of the LMPD officers who not only were involved in the raid that led to Breonna Taylor's death, but one of the three who LMPD says fired their gun. Sgt. Mattingly, who was shot in the leg that night, has been on administrative reassignment since the incident

Several people have pointed out that it’s signed off “John” instead of “Jon.” The email was sent from Mattingly’s email address. I was also shown another email by my LMPD source that was sent by Mattingly earlier this year that’s also signed off “John"
