NEW: An officer who was wounded during the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in Louisville has sent an email Tuesday to more than 1,000 of his colleagues criticizing Mayor Greg Fischer and others, while defending actions during the botched police raid.

"I’m not here to give you a Rah Rah you got this speech. I’m not here to tell you that you signed up to help this community and to keep your head up. I’m here to tell you I’m sorry you have to go through this. I’m sorry your families have to go through this. I’m sorry the Mayor, Amy Hess and Chief Conrad failed all of us in epic proportions for their own gain and to cover their asses.

We all signed up to be police officers. We knew the risks and were willing to take them, but we always assumed the city had your back. We wanted To do the right thing in the midst of an evil world to protect those who cannot protect themselves. To enforce laws that make it possible to live in a peaceful society. We as police DO NOT CARE if you are black, white, Hispanic, Asian, what you identify as...this week. We aren’t better than anyone.

This guy is not suitable to be a police officer he's talking about Taylor like she was a criminal. With all due respect she was a frontline worker. I hope he gets what he deserves.

30 shots. Unarmed victim. Wrong house. How right can that be?

1Krohmer13 The boyfriend shot him. As always,facts are thrown away.

He killed an innocent person while she slept and shows not an ounce of remorse. Perfect for the trump era.

They just can’t simply say we fucked up! She was in her bed sleeping! Period! They did not do the legal proper thing. When u bust into a home without identifying yourself you get what you get. They got a man trying to protect himself and his girlfriend. They were wrong!

Killed an innocent black woman while she slept in her own home that they entered ohhh was also the wrong home.. and this ass wipe is speaking wtf is wrong with this

we, the public, MUST HEAR THE TRUTH about what happened....not a sensationalized “opinion” or report.

FTP

He killed her while she was sleeping. In the wrong apartment. This isn’t a case of “my bad.”

Sorry, there is nothing legal, moral, or ethical in breaking into a woman’s house while she is sleeping, guns drawn, and not expect a gun fight to follow. SECOND AMENDMENT, RIGHT?

'the criminals are canonized' as he refers to the nurse he murdered in her sleep

Just so that we are clear, the person they murdered wasn't a criminal, right?

You mean they were shooting at the police?

Jail the cops 👮‍♀️

They murdered a sleeping woman. It will never be okay. Never!
