In a story about a fight between the Mayor of Louisville, KY and the city council over the release of the Breonna Taylor records<\/a>, we find that the botched police raid that led to Ms. Taylor’s shooting was driven by a conscious policy of police harassment of minorities in an effort to “clean out” a neighborhood for redevelopment<\/a>:<\/div>\n

Breonna Taylor’s shooting was the result of a Louisville police department operation to clear out a block in western Louisville that was part of a major gentrification makeover, according to attorneys representing the slain 26-year-old’s family.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for Taylor’s family allege in court documents filed in Jefferson Circuit Court Sunday that a police squad \u2014 named Place-Based Investigations \u2014 had “deliberately misled” narcotics detectives to target a home on Elliott Avenue, leading them to believe they were after some of the city’s largest violent crime and drug rings.<\/p>\n

The complaint \u2014 which amends an earlier lawsuit filed by Taylor’s mother against the three Louisville officers who fired their weapons into Taylor’s home \u2014 claims Taylor was caught up in a case that was less about a drug house on Elliott Avenue and more about speeding up the city’s multi-million dollar Vision Russell development plan.<\/p>\n

Accusations contained in lawsuits do not constitute evidence in a court of law and represent only one side of the argument.<\/p>\n

“Breonna\u2019s home should never have had police there in the first place,” the attorneys wrote in the filing. “When the layers are peeled back, the origin of Breonna\u2019s home being raided by police starts with a political need to clear out a street for a large real estate development project and finishes with a newly formed, rogue police unit violating all levels of policy, protocol and policing standards.<\/p>\n

“Breonna\u2019s death was the culmination of radical political and police conduct.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It appears that the Mayor and the police were a part of a conspiracy to drive out black residents to created a gentrified neighborhood.<\/p>\n
