Stay Away From Carroll County (KY) If You're Black: White Cop who Killed Breonna Taylor Hired by Authorities in 95% White County. Fatally Shot Black Woman as She Slept. No Charges Filed by Sambo AG

From [HERE] The Louisville police officer who shot and killed Breonna Taylor was hired by another department in Kentucky last week, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported.

Myles Cosgrove, who was fired by the Louisville Metro Police Department in January 2021, has been hired by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, its chief deputy Rob Miller told the Courier-Journal.

Carroll County is about an hour's drive northeast of the Louisville Metro Police Department. Carroll County is 95.16% white.

Cosgrove never faced legal repercussions for the fatal shooting of Taylor, a 26-year-old unarmed Black woman who died in her apartment during a botched drug raid in March 2020, after police entered her home on a no-knock warrant. Cosgrove was determined to have fired the fatal shot that killed Taylor.

Miller, the chief deputy, addressed the lack of legal charges against Cosgrove when justifying his hiring to the Courier-Journal. He said his department ran a background check on Cosgrove, which he passed, the newspaper reported.

"We felt like he was a good candidate to help us in our county," Miller said, adding that Cosgrove's experience working for a police narcotics department would help reduce the flow of drugs in the area, per the Courier-Journal. [MORE]
