(Louisville, Ky.)
Simon & Schuster will not distribute a forthcoming book called “The Fight for Truth: The Inside Story Behind the Breonna Taylor Tragedy” by Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly (Post Hill Press).
Mattingly was part of the Louisville Metro Police (LMP) swat team that kicked-in Breonna Taylor’s door in 2020, leading to her death.
Breonna Taylor’s mother has recently complained about exploitation of her daughter’s name by BLM and others.
The lethal police raid happened amidst a time of national unrest over racial profiling of black citizens by police, an issue stirred up by former President Barack Hussein Obama (D).
Obama’s jump into the racial quagmire began in 2009 when he offered to sooth tensions in Boston after police arrested Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., a black man with a notable public TV show on heritage.
Obama hosted what he called a “beer summit” at the White House, attended by Obama, Dr. Gates, Cambridge police officer, Sgt. James Crowley, and others.
In 2013, George Zimmerman, an hispanic American, shot and killed black teen Travon Martin. Zimmerman was acquitted on grounds of self-defense.
A movement known as “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) was partly fueled by the 2014 Ferguson, Missouri police shooting of 18 year old Michael Brown, a black man.
Although more Caucasians are killed by police fire annually, black killings by police get more attention due to the BLM movement.
JK COMMENTARY: The BLM organization itself is allegedly a domestic terrorist operation which probably would have been banned as such had former President Donald John Trump won reelection in Nov. 2020.
