Cop sues B Taylor boyfriend for emotional distress

Post by Bruenor »

Huh.. didn't see that one coming.

An officer involved in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor has filed a civil suit against the 26-year-old's boyfriend for emotional distress, assault and battery on the night she was killed. The lawsuit claims Louisville Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly experienced "severe trauma, mental anguish, and emotional distress" because of Kenneth Walker's actions on March 13.
"Walker's conduct in shooting Mattingly is outrageous, intolerable, and offends all accepted standards of decency and morality," the lawsuit said, citing one of the legal standards for intentional emotional distress.

The nitwit NYPD cop who assaulted James Blake sued him for libel or defamation. As I recall it got dismissed.
