Description

You might think you know what happened in the tragic shooting of Breonna Taylor, but no one knows that better than the lead officer on the scene, Sergeant John Mattingly.

However, with the full support of the mainstream media, Black Lives Matter activists and other leftist groups immediately pounced on the tragedy, exploiting Breonnas death and twisting the storyin some cases, telling outright liesto bolster a shameful All Cops Are Bastards narrative and radical Defund the Police agenda.

In 12 Seconds in the Dark: A Police Officers Firsthand Account of the Breonna Taylor Raid, Sgt. Mattingly tells what really happened that horrible night. A twenty-year police veteran with an impeccable record, Mattingly takes readers inside the Louisville Metro Police Departments response to suspected criminal activity that night, debunking lie after lie about what happened, including:

• The officers followed standard forced-entry protocoland even gave the suspect more time than usual to respond before entering.

Taylor's boyfriend inside the apartment most certainly knewit was the police who were at his door, despite falsely claiming the police did not announce or identify themselves.

Breonna should not have died that night, but her death did not happen the way the media told you.

In this gritty and suspenseful true story, Mattingly sets the record straight on this shocking story that gripped the nation.
