Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth “Kenny” Walker, has filed a lawsuit which claims he is a victim of police misconduct and asking for immunity for firing a bullet which wounded a police officer during the March 13 raid which killed Taylor. During the “no-knock” search on Taylor’s home on suspicion of drug possession, the warrant for which the suit claims was based on “inaccurate” information. Walker “did not in fact know, nor should he have known” that the “startling” crash that accompanied the Lousiville Metro Police Department’s entry to their home was, in fact, local law enforcement. The lawsuit claims Walker is protected against prosecution under Kentucky’s “Stand Your Ground” laws, which make defending oneself, loved ones and property with armed force legal.
