“It is clear that (Myles Cosgrove) knew the flashing lights he witnessed in Ms. Taylor’s apartment were coming from gunfire; however, substantiated evidence supported the determination that (Cosgrove) was not clear on who he was firing at and whether there were multiple people in the line of fire,” according to the ruling.

“…Breonna Taylor’s death is a tragedy, and Myles Cosgrove did not violate LMPD policy,” attorney Scott Miller concluded. “He deserves his job back.”

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.”

Yvette Gentry told the Louisville Police Merit Board that Myles Cosgrove never identified a target and fired 16 shots in different directions after he and former Sgt. Johnathan Mattingly burst into Taylor’s home during a March 13, 2020 raid.

The lawsuit filed by former Det. Joshua Jaynes relies heavily on the three days of testimony heard by the merit board whose findings allegedly "included false facts … which resulted in an arbitrary decision."

Mayor Greg Fischer said people “did not understand an investigation has to take place as part of the process" and explained why he couldn't just fire officers before a thorough investigation. 

The footage reveals for the first time the incident that resulted in Metro government paying the Beckams $50,000 to avoid a lawsuit alleging they were assaulted, wrongfully arrested and incarcerated and that police tried to cover up former Officer Gregory Satterly’s actions.
