New Suit Claims LMPD and Other KY Orderlies Lied About the Existence of Bodycam Video to Cover Up Breonna Taylor's Murder. Family Asks Court to Order the Release of the Public's Video
Racists Often Put Unqualified Negros in High Positions So that Matters of Importance to Blacks will be Handled Frivolously. IN PHOTO BLACK STRAWBOSS PROBOT Daniel Cameron, 34, who is the first African-American Attorney General of Kentucky. HIS grand jury decided not to charge any police officer with a crime for killing Breonna Taylor. EVIDENCE IS MOUNTING THAT HIS PRESENTATION TO the GRAND JURY WAS BASED ON LIES. Said sambo is a so-called Black conservative who was endorsed and heavily promoted by racists Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell. In fact, McConnell “hand-picked” his former SNIGGERING staffer Cameron to run for Attorney General to strengthen his own political empire before his re-election in 2020.
Prior to Cameron’s election as AG in 2019 he had never tried a case of any kind, never represented an actual client in a court case and had no courtroom experience. He also never argued a legal brief before either the appellate court or the Supreme Court — at the state level or federal level. Cameron’s only experience was working as general counsel for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for 2 years, working as a law clerk and working for a law firm that focused on lobbying - positions that have no meaningful relevance to prosecutorial trial and appellate work.

From [HERE] A new lawsuit filed on behalf of Breonna Taylor’s family alleges police may be withholding information about bodycam footage taken the morning the 26-year-old ER worker was shot and killed by cops in her Louisville, Kentucky, home.
WDRB in Kentucky reports that an attorney for Taylor’s family, who navigated a $12 million wrongful death settlement with the city, claims that Louisville Metro Police might have provided “misinformation” when they said there is no footage of the March 13, 2020, raid that left Taylor shot dead and did not produce the narcotics for which they were searching.
According to that suit, cops are also withholding public records that could prove there’s video of the killing, which the LMPD has denied. The police department claims the only officer involved in the raid who was wearing a bodycam had turned it off.
The lawsuit claims multiple law enforcement several officials at the scene — before and after the shooting — had been given body cameras. There is some footage from after the killing.
WDRB reports Taylor’s family’s lawsuit also alleges that flashing sirens at the scene of the shooting would likely have switched on body cameras that hadn’t been voluntarily activated. The case, filed Thursday, seeks information on an “audit trail” would help determine whether or not footage from before or during the raid was taken.
Police have previously said that body camera footage from the incident does not exist, explaining that some officers within the department that executed the warrant do not wear body cameras and that any cameras that were worn may have not been activated at the time.
However, attorney Sam Aguiar argued in this week’s lawsuit that one of the officers, Myles Cosgrove, was photographed wearing a body camera harness the evening the shooting took place, though he has said it contained no camera at the time.
Attorney Aguiar said at least 18 videos exist from officers executing the search warrant at a home on Elliott Avenue – not Taylor’s home. [MORE]
In the lawsuit, he accuses Metro Police of violating the Open Records Act.
Additionally, the attorney argued that the cameras used by department officers, known as Axon Flex 2 cameras, are designed to activate when the lightbars of a police vehicle illuminate.
Aguiar said in the court filing that several police cars at Taylor’s apartment that evening had their lightbars on at the time of the raid.
"Simply put, it would have been difficult for most of the LMPD members with body cameras and who were associated with ... events at Breonna’s ... to not have had their Axon body cameras activated at one point or another,” he argued.
Aguiar explained that the police department has not fulfilled requests for information on body camera footage.
"The plaintiffs, and the public, have an uncompromised right to know whether undisclosed body camera footage exists, or otherwise previously existed, from LMPD Axon Cameras which relates to the events surrounding the death of Breonna Taylor," he wrote, calling on a judge to demand that Louisville police respond to his inquiry.
