'Family of Kentucky EMT shot by police executing search warrant files lawsuit
[FoxNews] The family of an EMT who was asleep in her Kentucky apartment when police executed a search warrant the family claims was at the wrong address has filed a lawsuit accusing officers of firing more than 20 shots into Breonna Taylor's home.

The 26-year-old aspiring nurse was killed on March 13 after being shot eight times by Louisville police officers.

Her mother, Tamika Palmer, said she filed the lawsuit to get justice for her daughter.

"I want them to say her name," she told The Washington Post. "There's no reason Breonna should be dead at all."

The lawsuit, filed late last month, accuses the officers of wrongful death, excessive force and gross negligence.

According to court documents, the officers executed a drug warrant at Taylor's home, searching for a male suspect who didn't live in her apartment complex and had already been detained by authorities when the police officers stormed in.

#3 Disgusting. Sickening. But mark my words: cops will get off/lawsuit will get tossed.

Not the first time the guy they want is already in jail. Either somebody in charge of planning is incompetent, or this has become the new revenue enhancer.

#5 Judicial Immunity, a thoroughly unconstitutional fantasy created by the judiciary for themselves and their cop friends. Of course they don't bother to check the address, what difference does it or worse yet will it ever make to them?

They make one law for us and hold another for themselves.

#6 This is what you get for not having a dog for the cops to shoot...

#7 If the cops want to keep the goodwill from the right and center, they need to stop and punish heavily this kind of crap. Protecting your own at civilian's expense will have you lose that goodwill faster than anything else.

#8 /\ It's gone. Any goodwill has been gone for a long time.
