Officer Nicholas Green has filed a lawsuit against the city and Louisville police merit board to get his job back after he was fired last year for multiple violations, including cursing at numerous citizens, endangering the safety of other officers and tasing a man who was not resisting because “you were excited.”
But former Det. Myles Cosgrove said he regrets that Taylor was killed. “It’s horrible. It’s made me question faith. It’s powerful to have taken a life and to have to live with that. I can’t explain to you how regretful and how much grief that has caused me.”
Subpoena power would need to be granted on a state level through the Kentucky General Assembly.
There are two Kentucky statutes that outline the rights given to Louisville Metro Police officers when they're accused of wrongdoing. KRS 15.520 is commonly known as the "Police Officers' Bill of Rights" and is a state law applicable to the administrative complaint process for Kentucky police officers.
The group will hold its first meeting Friday.
