"DOJ ASKS JUDGE TO DROP CHARGES AGAINST TWO COPS INVOLVED IN BREONNA TAYLOR’S KILLING

The men were not present at the fatal raid but have been accused of covering up how it happened.

The Department of Justice wants a federal judge to drop the remaining charges against two police officers who were involved in the fatal raid that left Breonna Taylor dead in 2020, The New York Times reports. Harmeet K. Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, signed the motion, filed in the Western District of Kentucky on Friday asking for leniency for former Sgt. Kyle Meany and former Detective Joshua Jaynes, neither of whom were present at the raid. CBS News reports that the dismissal request was 'with prejudice,' which means it could be revived later.

Meany was charged with making false statements during an FBI interview. Jaynes had been charged with conspiracy and falsifying records. The DOJ previously alleged that the men deprived Taylor of her right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizure, according to CBS News.

Dhillon’s motion said that the DOJ believes the charges should be dropped 'in the interest of justice' as it now views the charges as 'weaponized federal outreach' by the Biden administration, per The New York Times. Merrick Garland, who was attorney general in the Biden years, had charged Meany and Jaynes along with other members of the Louisville Metro Police for setting up the course of action that led to Taylor’s death, as part of a ham-fisted search for a drug dealer."

Recently I saw, I think in The Marshall Report, that the administration is allowing no knock raids again. We just absolutely refuse to learn any lessons as a society
