Police major in charge of officers in Breonna Taylor shooting reassigned amid internal investigation
The investigation into Maj. Kim Burbrink was launched less than two weeks after LMPD released its internal probe into the fatal shooting of Taylor.
Major Kim Burbrink "failed to follow a direct order given to you from Lieutenant Colonel Andy McClinton to not contact or ask questions regarding any investigations pertaining to the Criminal Interdiction Unit."
Kim Burbrink, who was commander of LMPD's Criminal Interdiction Division, was demoted from major to lieutenant and reassigned to the Special Operations division in February for failing to "follow a direct order."
