A corrections officer in Louisville was fired this week after the surfacing of a video showing him mocking city police and the killing of Breonna Taylor.
The video appears to parody a Louisville Metro Police Department recruiting advertisement. Turhan Knight, a Louisville Metro Corrections officer since 2018, walks past a row of police vehicles and tells the camera that officers are trying to “repair broken relationships” in the community.
“Do you want to kill people and be able to get off for it?” he says. “Join Louisville Metro Police Department and answer the call.” The Washington Post could not immediately reach Knight for comment Saturday. A Louisville-area LinkedIn account with his name appeared to have been deactivated, and calls to several publicly listed phone numbers associated with him went to disconnected lines., Knight said that he was planning to soon leave the corrections department and that he was trying to hire a lawyer to represent him.
