Police investigator accused officers of purposely underplaying risk of Breonna Taylor search

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The police sergeant investigating the officers in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor questioned whether they purposely downgraded the risk of searching her home so they could exclude SWAT.

Interviewing the officers who broke down Taylor's door in a raid that ended in her death, Sgt. Andrew Meyer of the Professional Standards Unit pressed them on "obvious and seemingly blatant omissions" on the risk assessment form they filled out before the raid.
