Cop Who Fatally Shot Breonna Taylor Is Raising Money To Retire
The Louisville police officer who fatally shot Breonna Taylor is crowdfunding money for his retirement.
Cosgrove is now using the “Christian crowdfunding site” GiveSendGo to “purchase the remainder of his service time” and retire, to keep his family safe.
”Myles’ reputation has been completely dismantled and the psychological trauma is something that he will have to cope with for the rest of his life,” the fundraiser says. “It has recently become clear that it will be impossible for Myles to safely return to his position serving the community with the Louisville Metro Police Department.”
“With regards to the media, nationally and locally, the Breonna Taylor case has been forged into a tool for an agenda that has no regard for the lives that are being destroyed. The result of that night was tragic for all involved, that is obvious. Any situation that results in the loss of human life is and should be considered a monumental travesty. As time has passed, as outrage has been made known, and as protests only continue to grow, it is our ongoing stance that creating a conversation which is both safe and rational is the only way to find a solution. We must create an atmosphere of progress for everyone. However, amidst this conversation, safety has proven difficult to come by for Myles and his family and we are, at this point, emotionally concerned for all parties involved.”
They are currently seeking $75,000 and as of Wednesday has raised $9,000.
