TL;DR Summary

Myles Cosgrove, the former Louisville Metro Police officer who fatally shot Breonna Taylor, has been hired as a deputy by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, despite being fired from the Louisville department in January 2021 for violating use-of-force procedures and failing to use a body camera during the raid on Taylor's apartment. Cosgrove fired 16 rounds into the apartment after the front door was breached and Taylor's boyfriend fired a shot at them. Federal ballistics experts said they believe the shot that killed Taylor came from Cosgrove. A protest in Carroll County has already been planned on Monday in response to his hiring.
