Louisville police move to fire detective who obtained Breonna Taylor warrant

Source: NBC News

The Louisville, Kentucky, officer who obtained the no-knock warrant in the fatal raid of the home of Breonna Taylor received a notice on Tuesday that the police department intends to fire him.

Detective Joshua Jaynes was informed that the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department intends to terminate his employment, a department spokesperson confirmed to NBC News.

Jaynes still has the right to a pre-termination hearing before he is officially fired, the spokesperson said.

Jaynes had written in a sworn affidavit submitted to a Jefferson County judge that he had "verified through a U.S. Postal Inspector" that Taylor’s former boyfriend Jamarcus Glover "has been receiving packages" at Taylor's home.

The police entering the house might have had the last chance to avoid the tragedy, but they were going in believing the inhabitants were likely armed and dangerous because of shoddy police work.
