The ex-cop who lost his job on the Louisville, Kentucky, police department after firing the gunshot that killed Breonna Taylor in her home, helping stoke mass protests against racial injustice in 2020, has returned to the ranks of law enforcement
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office, serving a rural area of northern Kentucky about 50 miles from Louisville, hired former police detective Myles Cosgrove last week as a deputy on its force, County Executive David Wilhoite said on Monday.
She and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, were in bed when police launched the nighttime raid as part of a narcotics investigation. Walker, reacting to what he believed was a break-in, fired a single shot that struck one officer in the leg, prompting all three officers to return fire, authorities said. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said a federal grand jury declined to indict Cosgrove because he played no part in drafting the falsified search warrant that was the basis for the raid.
Taylor's death, like the police killing of George Floyd two months later in Minneapolis, became a rallying cry in nationwide protests against police brutality and racial bias in the U.S. criminal justice system.
