In early 2022, Louisville community members and police reform activists were facing disappointment as well as despair: none of the officers involved in the lethal 2020 no-knock raid that killed Breonna Taylor were charged in connection with her death.
On top of that, former Louisville Metropolitan Police Department officer Brett Hankison, the one officer who faced any charges at all, who was accused of wanton endangerment for firing blindly into a neighbouring appartment containing three people, was acquitted in March of 2022.
