I'm not sharing the links to any of the actual video, but contrary to what we were told just a couple of days ago, there was body cam footage taken immediately after Breonna Taylor's death and it shows the 7(!) officers involved in the raid milling around the crime scene.

One article stated there was more than 40 hours of video, and it shows the 7 officers not only remaining at the crime scene, but walking in and out of the crime scene unescorted and participating in the investigation.

All of this violates LMPD policy.

The reason this violates LMPD policy is because it raises serious questions about whether the crime scene and investigation were tampered with.

Additionally, at least 1 of the 7 officers involved in the raid that night was photographed wearing his body cam. While we have been repeatedly told there was no body cam footage, at least one office had his body cam on.

It's been LMPD policy since at least 2016 for officers to record ALL calls for service and law enforcement activity and to activate cameras prior to arrival. It's unclear why none of the officers had their body cameras operating that night.

A former LMPD chief claimed that officers in the Criminal Interdiction Unit do not wear body cameras. However, that would be in violation of LMPD policy and there are records the officers involved in Taylor's murder have worn body cams previously.

This disparity between LMPD policy regarding body cam footage, the officers involved in Taylor's shooting not having them on, and the conflicting stories around whether the officers wear them at all have never been explained.

Additionally, Kentucky AG David Cameron made much of the fact that 1 of the 11 witnesses the night of Taylor's death said the police did identify themselves.

Kenneth Walker's lawyer revealed in an interview that the witness INITIALLY denied it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/09/24/correcting-misinformation-about-breonna-taylor/

This article says it took 3 separate visits from police--dating from March 21 to May 15--to get that 1 witness to state police did announce themselves before bursting into Taylor's apartment.

See: WLKY's "Newly obtained documents raise more questions about Breonna Taylor..."

Keep in mind that LMPD tried to get Jamarcus Glover--Taylor's ex-boyfriend and the target of the warrant, who was already in custody at the time of the raid on Taylor's apartment--to sign a plea deal that implicated Breonna Taylor as involved in his criminal activities.

If the cops would play dirty tricks to get Glover to agree to say Taylor was involving in criminal activity in order to cover their tracks--something Glover wouldn't do--what did they threaten or offer that witness with, to finally pressure them into exonerating the officers?

ALSO: Brett Hankinson, who lingered at the crime scene for over an hour, walking in and out of the apartment unescorted, and after being asked to leave turned up at the hospital where Jonathan Mattingly was being treated for a gunshot wound.

Then-Chief Steve Conrad (the same one who said Hankinson and Mattingly's unit didn't wear body cams) ran into Hankinson at the hospital. Conrad stated Hankinson's story at the hospital differed from the story Conrad had heard from other officers.

Conrad also understood that Hankinson had gone home after leaving the crime scene and before coming to the hospital. He was supposed to have an escort from the Public Integrity Unit during all this, but did not, which Conrad stated was "contrary" from what he'd seen before.
