It pays to be white. The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office hired the imbecile cop who incurably shot Breonna Taylor in her apartment on March 13, 2020, WHAS 11 reported.
County police prepared for citizens to protest.
According to the Wave report, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department hired former Louisville Metro Police officer Myles Cosgrove on April 20.
News Onyx reported the Louisville Metro Police Department befittingly terminated Cosgrove on Jan. 5, 2021, for firing 16 times into Taylor’s apartment without identifying a target.
Instead of worrying about the innocent life he took, callow Cosgrove sued the LMPD and its Merit Board in April 2022 to recover his job. While the board upheld the termination, they didn’t revoke his officer certification, enabling him to work as a cop for another police department and make the same mistake.
Since the county hired Cosgrove as a police officer, protesters have stepped out last and this week, hoping to reverse Cosgrove’s recent employment.

Cosgrove is one of the cops responsible for killing 26-year-old Taylor in March 2020. He and former Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly fired 32 times into Taylor’s house, and six of their bullets entered Taylor.
Brett Hankison shot ten times through the patio door.
The shooting happened after LMPD barged into Taylor and her boyfriend’s, Kenneth Walker III, apartment in a botched raid. They were under the suspicion Taylor’s ex-boyfriend was supplying drugs at different locations, one of them being Taylor’s apartment.
Thinking the police were intruders, Walker fired his legally
registered weapon at the cops, and they fired an unnecessary amount of time, specifically Hankison, Mattingly and Cosgrove. And now one of her killers was hired to be a police again.Despite Walker receiving $2 million in his federal and state lawsuits, this move by the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office is pure disrespect to Taylor’s family and Walker.
