The former Louisville officer who killed Breonna Taylor has been hired by Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

Chief Deputy Rob Miller told The Courier Journalthat he believes Cosgrove’s hiring is justified yet understands the pushback it may receive.

“We think he will help reduce the flow of drugs in our area and reduce property crimes,” Miller said.

“We felt like he was a good candidate to help us in our county,” Chief Deputy Miller said.

Cosgrove was fired by the Louisville Metro Police Department in January 2021 for violating use-of-force procedures and failing to use a bodycam during the raid. According to Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s investigation, Cosgrove fired his gun 16 times into Taylor’s apartment ultimately killing her in the botched raid.

Four officers have been charged federally for their role in Taylor’s death. The crimes that the four were charged with include civil rights offenses, unlawful conspiracies, unconstitutional use of force, and obstruction offenses.

Kelly Hanna Goodlett admitted in federal court to conspiring with another Louisville police officer to falsify the search warrant that led to Taylor’s death.

Former Louisville officers Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany were indicted on charges related to the warrant used to search Taylor’s home. A third former officer, Brett Hankison, was charged with using excessive force when he retreated from Taylor’s door, turned a corner and fired 10 shots into the side of her two-bedroom apartment. He was acquitted by a jury on similar state charges in 2022.

Carroll County Chief Deputy Rob Miller told WLKY that “we’re going to give [Cosgrove] a chance,” adding “there will be opinions on both sides of the equation.”

To clarify, he's stepping down as Senate Minority Leader in November, but plans to finish his term as senator, which lasts until 2027 (unfortunately). ( source: wlky Louisville, KY)

Whomever comes next as leader of Senate Republicans may very well be worse, but whoever replaces him as Kentucky senator will likely be better.

I hope.

A lot of relatively moderate Republicans & old-fashioned democrats have supported him for years just because his status as majority/minority leader theoretically gives more weight in DC to issues effecting Kentucky (whether that's actually the case is debatable and if it is he's put that weight on the wrong side of most of those issues, but that's the thinking). Those moderates aren't likely to accept the type of fanatic the Republican party will likely run for his seat in 2026 (wishing and hoping he doesn't stay that long even) as a newcomer. (I mean they accept Rand Paul but he's just an obnoxious libertarian instead of a trump wannabe/groupie.) As long as whoever wins the Democratic primary isn't seen as "too extreme" by those same moderates, we should be able to bring them over to our side (or make them not care enough to bother showing up to an off-year election). In 2014 Alison Grimes was able to pull 40% of the vote (McGrath got 38% in 2020) even as a woman in a largely-Southern-Baptist state running against a powerful incumbent. Without those two stumbling blocks (or even without one of them) we should be able to win, especially if a Libertarian bleeds off some of the conservative votes. Granted things have become more polarized since then, but a lot of people DISLIKE that polarization.
