Since helping to execute a search warrant for evidence in a drug trafficking ring and being shot by Kenneth Walker -- the boyfriend of Breonna Taylor -- in the process, my life has never been the same.
Three days after the tragic death of George Floyd -- which left the nation in an uproar -- the 911 call in which Walker says that someone had broken in and shot his girlfriend was released to the public. Though I wanted to respond and set the record straight about what had transpired that night, I couldn’t say anything about the case, because my fellow Louisville Metro Police Department officers and I were under a gag order. The media and the social justice outrage mob were out to get us, we weren’t allowed to stand up for ourselves, and our mayor and chief refused to set the record straight with the facts leaving us involved to dangle in the wind.
My side of the story is completely different from what you’ve heard from the media. They want you to believe that I and my fellow officers are evil racists who barged into that apartment and killed Breonna while she slept. This couldn’t be further from the truth, and I learned pretty quickly that the media and our local government officials want to make sure you never learn the truth about what happened that night.
Earlier this year, my friends at Post Hill Press courageously agreed to publish my book giving an account of what really happened that night. But before we could even begin, their distributor, Simon & Schuster, publicly declared their refusal to distribute my book -- without even reading the manuscript.

Three days after the tragic death of George Floyd — which left the nation in an uproar …Oh, these pseudoconservatives. The causers of the “uproar” were paid thugs, members of communist terror cells. Never mind the truth being twisted with respect to Floyd just as much as with Taylor’s death.
I don’t see how any gag order can be justified in any situation. One side (the media and local government) tend to allowed to say whatever they want. In the case of the media, it’s usually lies. They set the stage. Hands up; don’t shoot. Whatever. Meanwhile, people directly involved, who may be accused and vilified, are told that they cannot say anything at all. This should not be allowed.
Evil.
The Left is the locus of evil in the West today, and most especially in the United States.
Leftist judges use gag orders as a weapon. Also don’t forget that the Jan 6th protesters are effectively being gag ordered by being imprisoned illegally.
They are also being gagged by the media who refuse to let the few that have been sentenced tell their truth.
Almost 100% of this narrative of ‘racism’ & cops is BS. From G Floyd to M Brown to J Blake to this one and many more. It is merely a tool to control and destroy.
Bkmk
The gag order part comes from protecting themselves from civil litigation. You don’t want every person on the department talking about something you’re going to be sued for, it can make the defensible, indefensible. But these chiefs had a responsibility to counter the narrative and get the truth out, no matter how much the rioters did not want to hear it. You have to remember, police chiefs are not cops, they are politicians, and they were too cowardly to support their men and women. It was easier to march with black lives matter and kneel that to stand up for what is right.
Gag orders are allowable if THEY control the courts. People on our side (not necessarily you) REALLY need to start figuring out how things work in this country. Leftist judges will allow a FULL-UP Fascist Dictatorship to take place in this country, as long as it’s their people running it. They’ve shown this over and over again in their rulings. That’s why I keep repeating the same thing - there are people FAR WORSE than RINOs, and those people are Democrats. Let them win and get the power they crave (you know, to teach the GOP a lesson) and we will NEVER see a free country again in our lifetime and likely our kids’ lifetime.
Bravely telling the truth.
To those who buy the book.
Breonna Taylor was no innocent. She provided her residence as a drug transshipment point and refuge for the trafficking & dealers, and also was their banker. She got what was coming to her.
I wish you wouldn’t sugar-coat it. But thanks for putting it in family-friendly terms.
Be safe.
Was playing “would you rather” during a long car ride with my college daughter. She started veering off into liberal cliches, so I asked “would you rather be the rental car agent that had to check in Breonna Taylor’s rental car, or Hunter Biden’s rental car?” She had no idea about those events so it was actually a few minutes of myth-shattering.
And its captive media beams hate like a death ray on those who reject its propaganda.
And I am feeling that, in this blue state.
Yes, exactly. The takeaway for young women in all that should have been that they shouldn’t get involved with drug dealers because they will get you deeply involved in their business. You become his mule or worse. And by the time you figure out that it’s no good for you, it may be too late and you can still end up in jail or DEAD. Even after you break up with him and get a new boyfriend. But there’s no political power to be gained for anyone in that message.
Instead the narrative is that a bunch of racist cops went out to kill some black people that night and therefore all cops need to be brought to heel. Much more political gain for the race hucksters there.
I used to think these cases should be settled in a court of law. Where to find that court, i dont know. So here we are. When trying cases in the court of public opinion all sides should be heard.
This article doesn’t attempt to set any record straight, it is nothing but an advertisement for this cop’s book. The real tragedy of this becoming a racial event is that it would have been a good time to talk about the probity of militarized police. While there is little doubt that the police followed procedure when they broke into Taylor’s residence it is that very procedure that I question irrespective of the race or alleged crimes of the dwelling occupants.
While it is unfair to the cop that he was subjected to the woke mob don’t think for a second that he would hesitate to kick down your door if his masters demanded it so in my mind he is no good guy, just another agent of the state. That he suffered an injustice may make him think twice before unleashing government persecution on the next guy, but I doubt it.
The incredible thing is how many people buy into the lies! Propaganda works.
