Officer involved in Breonna Taylor shooting fired for showing ‘extreme indifference to value of human life’
Police in Louisville, Kentucky have parted ways with Brett Hankison, one of the three officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor. The nurse was killed following a no-knock raid on her boyfriend's home in March.
The department informed officer Brett Hankison of his dismissal in a notice sent on Tuesday, stating that by “wantonly and blindly [firing] ten rounds into the apartment of Breonna Taylor on March 13, 2020,” he showed “extreme indifference to the value of human life” and violated department procedures.
“Based upon my review, these are extreme violations of our policies,” wrote Louisville chief of police Robert Schroeder, adding “I find your conduct a shock to the conscience.”
I am alarmed and stunned you used deadly force in this fashion… Your actions have brought discredit upon yourself and the department.
