Turhan Knight, a Louisville Metro Police Department corrections officer, was suspended on Thursday after city police watched a parody recruitment video posted online, which stunned city officials. Knight in his police uniform is seen yelling people to 'answer the call' and become members of a 'great, powerful police force,' with the addition of the following: "We have no concern about what happened to Breonna Taylor; we killed the b****.' He ended by asking people if they wanted to'kill people and be able to get off for it.' The video has since been 'hideous' and has stated that it does not represent the Louisville Police Department's viewpoints, but Knight is now employing a lawyer to represent him in his termination hearings. The video was a satire about how'some officers handled previous challenges,' he said.'
