Breonna Taylor has become a rallying point for organizing riots and uprisings on the left, but the media’s story, that motivates the left, about how the police in Lousiville Kentucky acted the night they served a warrant on the home where she lived and ended up in a gun battle at the residence, does not jibe with the video footage below.
The left has created an industry around the idea that Louisville police officers entered a residence of an innocent Black woman, with guns blazing and killed her for no reason. Media outlets have pushed that message to people who then take their vengeance to the streets to get what they feel is justice, by striking “back” at the police.
The following video footage, from the actual officer who was shot, shows that an officer was shot with injury after announcing the warrant, that there was so much noise and attention on the scene before the officers entered the apartment that officers can be heard telling people to get back in their apartments and that the officers had to remove the injured officer so that they could clear the scene, and then enter the apartment of Taylor and her boyfriend, who had been the one to shoot at officers first.
According to the their site, Blue Lives Matter posted:
“Bodycam video was released on Thursday of the first officers to arrive on the scene after Louisville Metropolitan Police Department (LMPD) Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly was shot during the warrant service at Breonna Taylor’s apartment in March (video below).
Sgt. Mattingly was shot when officers served a search warrant at Taylor’s apartment just after midnight on March 13. The bodycam video was released by the sergeant’s attorney, Todd McMurtry, WAVE reported.”
“They called him a ‘murderer,’ when all he did was defend himself,” McMurtry said. “This is the raw video of Louisville officer Sgt. John Mattingly shortly after Kenneth Walker shot him.”
An investigation by the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office revealed that, despite the fact the officers had a “no knock” warrant the night Taylor was shot, police announced themselves before they attempted to enter the residence.
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said that an independent civilian witness had confirmed having heard the officers announce themselves.
In the video below is an unfolding scene of confusion and adrenelin.
Blues Lives Matter wrote,”When officers were advised the ambulance was still 15 minutes out, they loaded Sgt. Mattingly onto the back of a police car to get him out of the area, and then transported him to the hospital in a police vehicle.”
The officers responding to the scene surrounded the vehicle and covered the sergeant as they took him out of the area.
The attorney general said it was after that clear, from the video, that with that announcement that police busted through the door and saw a man and woman at the end of the hallway.”
So after Mattingly was removed the scene was cleared and the officers entered the apartment. That is not what the media is reporting to angry people.
In the video is heard a confusing set of exchanges, with a number of officers who are struggling to save Mattingly on the ground, they are pulling open medical equipment, talking about emergency medical services being on the way, “Get into your apartment” someone yells in the background.
Officers are heard talking to the victim, saying “pressure”, and “EMS is on standby, where are they”, numerous radios are going off with codes and signals.
“I have a hole right here”, and “someone get a light, get a light, here is light.”
“Trying to see if he has another wound.” Sirens are heard in the background.
“We got you closed off, John, you are going to be ok. You got in the thigh. Let’s move him. Tight as you can.”
“We are moving him to EMS,” as officers were trying to figure out how many times he had been hit and trying to move him into the trunk of a car.
WATCH:
This video should be carried by the media so the public can evaluate for themselves if the circumstances unfolded as we are being told they did.
That might stop the rioting.
The Breonna Taylor case is being pushed on Americans and propagandized for political power by the Democrats, who post about the case and the circumstances and encourage the lawlessness that is ongoing in Lousiville.
Numerous riots have been started around the country, in other states, on the basis that the Police are killing innocent Black people at will, with the Breonna Taylor case being a foundational issue for them, but like this video, it does not seem to be the case that Police are attacking innocent people on a whim.
The information is out there, and the media is ignoring it to push a lie that they believe will benefit the Democrats in their demands to end law enforcement in America.

Wtf. This is all of after the shooting and tells no proof of what actually happened DURING the the event. You people are a fucking joke
Hsbssvsk you might want to read the article again slowly so you understand…this happened before and then at the beginning of the entry into the apartment…NOT after….you need to stop believing everything Democrat media is telling you…they are liars.
Hsbssvsk is correct. The video is from AFTER the officer was shot and shows nothing but what happened in the parking lot afterward. It even states ““Bodycam video was released on Thursday of the first officers to arrive on the scene after Louisville Metropolitan Police Department (LMPD) Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly was shot during the warrant service at Breonna Taylor’s apartment in March “
You’re right! Obviously, all this video proves is that after the officers gunned down Taylor in cold blood, they had one of their own volunteer to be shot to cover up their real crimes.
Doofus.
You dumby. She was simply where she should not of been PERIOD! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT THAT SHE WAS SHOT. Her ounk ass cowardly BF used her as a shield. You didn’t know that did ya? Ya because the racist hateful democratic media that you put all you faith in wont tell you that just like they lie and edit the the truth! Stop being a media puppet and decide from your own research! FUCKIMG IDIOT!
Had one of their own volunteer to be shot? Are you a storfisk kind of stupid or what,
Volunteer to get shot? And then you call him a doofus. “hey we just did our hob perfectly, who wants to take a round?”
Dumbass
I can even comprehend how the left or the stupid are demanding justice on this police shooting. You shake up with a criminal drug dealer, you allow him to ha e a gun in your house and then you get shot in crossfire. Play stupid games win stupid prizes is how I see it. I was taught to not put myself in this situation by my parents, where was her common sense.
They guy that they were looking for wasn’t there. He hadn’t been her boyfriend for a long time. There were no drugs in her apartment. They were asleep, probably didn’t hear if they announced themselves OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR, and woke up when they broke down the door. You guys are all about having guns for personal protection, and her boyfriend did what just about anyone on the right would do if they heard their door being broken down while asleep. Lets see them show a body cam of the guys that were actually there before they broke the door down. Lets hear them announce it, and get a response from someone behind the door. If she was being used as a shield by the man they WEREN’T there to arrest, why did the police report say her body was found in her bed. All of our information came from the police reports, where does yours come from?
The warrant was for Breonna not her ex that had already been arrested that day, because she had been involved with his drug trafficking, the msm just continues to conveniently leave that bit of information out. Morale of the story is if you shoot at cops expect to get shot at in return.
Neighbors said she was in hall. Tell them some lies Dumb Fuck
Cops lie so damn much. This article also is a lie. Where is the video before cops broke into the home? I suspect it isn’t being shown because cops didn’t announce. ACAB!
No you ignoramus the lies come from you leftist media, youre just too damn uneducated to see it
You are really stupid. This was BEFORE the shooting of the woman who, by the way was also named on the warrant. Did you even notice his gun was still in his holster? She was no innocent bystander, it was her apartment which she shared with another man. She allowed her former fellow drug dealing boyfriend into this apartment.
This totally contradicts what the news media’s are having everyone believe…! That they showed up to Breonnas apt…no knock…just barge in and boyfriend being aroused from a deep sleep along with Breonna shoots…not knowing who was coming in. A total contradiction.
Kari
You need to learn how to write! 5 commas in first paragraph long sentence!
Yhe cops had a no knock warrant but they said who they were several times then barge in the boyfriend was standing and shot first and as the cops open fire he took Breana as a shield and she was killed no she was not asleep and was standing awake they knew cops were at the door. She had a warrant for her by the court judge and because it was known her ex a known big drug dealer visited her several times at the apt she and boyfriend shared. DRUGS DEALING IS A BIG THING AND A BAD BY ASSOCIATIONS
You’re right! Obviously, all this video proves is that after the officers gunned down Taylor in cold blood, they had one of their own volunteer to be shot to cover up their real crimes.
Doofus.
Because her pussy ass pos BF used her as a shield! Go suck a dick asshole she was in the wrong and knew it was the police! COPS ARENT DUMB AND KNOW THEY CAN BE SHOT OR SHOT AT IF THEY KICK IN A DOOR WITHOUT NOTIFYING THEMSELVES! She wasn’t asleep in bed she was standing with her pussy BF as he used her as a shield! FUCK YOU ANTI COP PRICKS! YOURE ALL CRIMINALS AND UNDISCIPLINED CUNTS ANYWAY!
Your an ignorant jerk. Read all the reports before this raid. Read why a grand hairy approves this warrant. Listen to the taped calls betweenBrionna and her ex. Watch the videos of packages being delivered to her apartment with her ex using her address. Watch the videos of her bringing those delivered packages to her drug dealing ex She was not in bed. She was in the hallway. Numerous witnesses testify they heard the officers knock and announce themselves. Stop being a lazy a$$$ and read and research before you shoot ur ignorant mouth off. Not once did any of the officers use a racial language to the victims in any of these cases.
Brian M. Wachs has to be the absolute dumbest person I have ever come across, “volunteer to be shot”. Do yourself a favor and stop posting to social media, you are only showing everyone what an idiot you are. It amazes me who people stand up for criminals and not law enforcement. The other thing that bothers me is that there is absolutely NO evidence that this incident nor the George Floyd incident was racist. Simply because the skin color of the officers were different than the victim does NOT make it a racist incident.
No knock raids should not be done for drug dealing. If this was child trafficking, kidnapping or violent crime in progress, then yes, kick the door down and get in there. Drugs? Not reason enough. Prohibition didn’t work for alcohol and it certainly hasn’t worked for other drugs. Stop the insanity of this drug war. We are not going to stop seeing this kind of stuff until the drug war is laid to rest.
If it is “just” marijuana, maybe that wouldn’t be so bad (but people do dumb things when high.) We have people selling far worse stuff that pot. Coke, crack, meth and heroine are killing people. They arrested he Ex who dealt in these drugs, her car was spotted at his house on different occasions. Henceforth the no knock warrant (to my understanding are harder to get than a normal search warrant) this means they did not have to knock or announce before entering the premises. she was not targeted she was caught in crossfire.
p.s. after the search turned up nothing her family was paid for the accidental shooting. Yes the boyfriend had a right to protect himself, but if they announced there presents and he shot anyway then her boyfriend was in the wrong
Brian m wach you are blind to the truth this officers was shot by her new boyfriend who was a drug pusher he used her as a shield that officers was shot by him he had a gun she also was involved in pushing drugs so again the false media and Democrats only show so you will do more riots wake up to the truth mate
Fake media lies as usual its a travesty her losing her life but she was not a hard working emt shot down in the prime of her life the demorats lie to fit theyre agenda keep power at all costs
Problem is the silent majority is waiting in the wings to be heard TRUMP 2020
Let me start by telling everyone here… that I am BLACK. Ok, NOW!!! Black people how dare you keep throwing out this race card every time something happens to a black person by a law enforcement official.
HOW about you contact the mayor of these black neighborhoods of black people that KEEP getting killed by BLACK on BLACK crime OK, Enough is Enough of your whining. Go FIX the problem in your OWN neighborhood. Again I’m BLACK so shut up!!!
Mary is not black. LOL!
All I see is the cops lending aid to the shot cop. The title says leading up to going into the apartment. What am I missing?
They didn’t enter the apartment first. At the end of the video they were preparing to enter.
