Breona Taylor's killer is crowdfunding on Christian funding site for retirement funds

The police officer who fatally shot Breonna Taylor is crowdfunding money to retire

The Louisville police officer who fatally shot Breonna Taylor is currently raising money to fund his retirement.

Detective Myles Cosgrove was one of three Louisville officers who fired shots into Taylor's apartment last March after breaking in to serve a search warrant related to Taylor's ex-boyfriend.

Taylor, an emergency room technician, died from multiple gunshot wounds sustained in the botched raid.

Now, Cosgrove is seeking funds on the "Christian crowdfunding site" GiveSendGo so he can "purchase the remainder of his service time" and retire, according to the fundraiser's description. He wants to focus on his family's safety, which, per the description, has been threatened since protests erupted after Taylor's killing.


"Myles' reputation has been completely dismantled and the psychological trauma is something that he will have to cope with for the rest of his life," the fundraiser description reads.

Should a Christian site have let him do it? I’m guessing (hoping) their fundamental intent was feed the hungry, care for the sick, the poor, etc.

A retirement fund...? (Or do they get a piece of the take?)
