Louisville SWAT Team Told Investigators They Had Concerns About Raid on Breonna Taylor's Apartment
Two months after police killed Breonna Taylor while executing a search warrant on her apartment in the middle of the night, a Louisville SWAT commander told investigators he had serious concerns about how the deadly raid was carried out.
The comments, made by Louisville Metro Police Department Lieutenant Dale Massey in a lengthy interview with detectives from the department’s Public Integrity Unit, suggest alarms were raised by some officers before the raid, and that Massey wasn’t the only one who left the scene with serious concerns.
“We just got the feeling that night that, you know, um, something really bad happened,” Massey told investigators on May 19.
Audio of the interview, which was obtained by VICE News, hasn’t previously been made public. Neither have any of the interviews with other SWAT team members who were called to the scene after an officer was shot. The interviews were included in the investigative file that was compiled by LMPD and provided to the Kentucky attorney general’s office as part of the investigation into the police raid that led to Taylor’s death.
