    "Everyone should read your book...fantastic read. " --Aubrey Shines, pastor and guest host of The Jenna Ellis Show Podcast, "A civilizational defining event. The Breonna Taylor incident has been used by activist groups as a rallying cry...the problem, is what most people think of what happened there...most of it is a lie. John Mattingly has a new book to tell us the truth." --Charlie Kirk, The Charlie Kirk Show, "Mattingly paints a clear picture and presents a rock solid case that blows up the common narrative about the death of Breonna Taylor... Mattingly's book is well worth the read." --Jim Thompson, RedState

    Synopsis
    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 Breonna's death and twisting the story--in some cases, telling outright lies--to bolster a shameful "All Cops Are Bastards" narrative and radical "Defund the Police" agenda. In 12 Seconds in the Dark: A Police Officer's 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 Department's response to suspected criminal activity that night, debunking lie after lie about what happened, including: The officers followed standard forced-entry protocol--and even gave the suspect more time than usual to respond before entering. Taylor's boyfriend inside the apartment most certainly knew it 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., I was standing to the left of the door as I began to knock, something police are taught from day one in the academy since there have been many cases of subjects firing through doors when officers knock. There's a knock known on the street as the knock of the police. It's not a typical knock that you would utilize when going to see a family member or friend. This knock is a loud, continuous pounding on a door. This knock is aggressive, forceful, and used this way with the purpose of obtaining a response. THIS is the knock we utilized on the fatal night of March 13, 2020. Many months later, in a strange turn of events, the City of Louisville passed a law banning no-knock warrants. The name of the law is Breonna's Law. This name has spread like wildfire throughout the nation, attaching it to the banning or restrictions of no-knock warrants. The irony is that the warrant that led to Breonna's death wasn't executed as a no-knock. I still believe in my heart that, had we served the warrant as a no-knock, Breonna would be alive, and you would not be reading this book. Book jacket.

        First hand account of the true version of the incident. I got to see the writer describe what happened also on a video but the book goes into more detail. It is gripping!
