Deadly Louisville Police Operation Called a 'Power Play' by High-Level Officers
killing of Breonna Taylor, a group of military trucks carrying police officers and National Guard members pulled up to an intersection in West Louisville. They had just received an order to clear the lot of Dinos, a popular corner store where people tended to gather on weekends.
As law enforcement, many dressed in full riot gear, walked through the lot, one officer crossed the street and began firing pepper balls at a group of people at a barbecue restaurant owned by David McAtee. Minutes later, around 20 bullets had been fired, and McAtee was dead.
In the 11 months since the incident, the police department has kept most of its investigation from the public and pushed an official narrative: that police went there to disperse the last large crowd of protests, and that officers returned fire after McAtee fired first. But an investigation by VICE News, based on unreleased internal documents, body camera footage, and accounts from multiple inside sources with direct knowledge, shows that the chaotic situation that ended in McAtees death was created by the police, which fired pepper balls indiscriminately at bystanders on private property.

This is all pretty interesting, in view of the DP|OJ's "pattern and practice" investigation of the LMPD.
